In Place of the Atom.

If we must discard the atom what
are we to accept in its place? Two new
conceptions have been found necessary
the zion" as the unit of matter the
"electron" as the unit of force The
new chemistry holds that matter and
force are different manifestations of the
same thing. Inertia is the character
istic; indeed, the indispensable, property
of both matter and electricity. What
would be simpler than to assume that
the ultimate particles of each are one and
the same? Prof. Fleming has declared
Tat 1--WE can no more have anything
which can be called electricity apart
from corpuscles than we can have mo-
mentum apart from matter"

MODEST NEEDS.

Give me name, not great, not bad;
Give me smile sincere and glad,
"A manner frank and free from care,
"A large amount of savoir-faire.
And all the beauty in the town
I'll envy not!
Give me a heart that's always true;
Give me the will to see and do,
A spirit that can cause no pain,
A helpful word, thoughtful brain.
And all the riches in the world
I'd covet not!
Give me the strength to say: II Wilt"
Give me n love my life to fill,
Some little child to smile upon
Who'll do what good I've left undone.
And with the proudest in the land
I'd not exchange!
Give me the soul to feel ashamed
If for my fault another's blamed:
Let me for justice take a stand,
In friendship clasp my neighbours hand:
Then, at the closing of life's dream,
I'll gladly die!
Give me thought when I am dead,
And sometimes say the words I've said
A flower place upon my breast;
Forgive my faults, and all the rest,
And speak of me with charity!
'Tis all ask!

Peccary Hunting.
ruptcy.

Peccary hunting is usually both dan
gerous and fatiguing. About ten or IL
dogs are set upon the trial of drove,
the huntsmen following as best they
may on foot. When the dogs come up
with the peccaries the little animals turn
to bay in closely packed, squealing
crowd Often the veteran boars of the
herd rush out upon their canine enemies
and it is seldom that a hunt passes with
out one or more dogs being killed or bad
ly injured. Careless and inexperienced
huntsmen are also liable to DE badly
mauled, for the psccaries seems incap-
able of fear and rush madly at any NOV
ing object, be it dog or man.
