The Atom a Little Solar system.

From The CHRISTIAN Herald.
There are thousands of substances, but
all can be resolved into about so distinct
elements. that is to say, substances whose
molecules contain only one kind of atom
and SO cannot be further Analysed. A MOLE
Guile is the smallest particle of a SUBJ
stance which exhibits the Individuality of
that substance. The atom, however. is
not the smallest particle of matter OF
which we have cognizance. The most re-
cent advances in ~radio-activity indicate
that the atom in itself is a complex sys-
tenn consisting of a positively charged nu-
cleus around which are grouped numerous
negatively charged particles of infinitesi-
NAL dimensions called electrons. The eiec-
tron is nov described as the unit of the
material universe, the basal Ingredient
underlying all forms Of matter.

the army of the Potomac until the
close of the wal, n it was on some
detail with his duties in that
department. that in 1865 he went into
Washington n had the interview with
President Lincoln l so much liked to
hear him tell about. 1t was not in the
course of his military duty that he
went to see the commander in chief;
whatever those duties were they were
quickly discharged at the war depart
ment. so that in the hours of freedom
remaining to him before he went back
to the front. he did what everyone likes
TO do in Washington-he went to see
the president. But he went in no mil
itary capacity: he wen rather in that
political capacity he so much preferred
to the military, and he went as to the
chief he had so long known and loved
and followed.
1t would be his old friend Chase who
presented him to the president, but

John L. Sullivan met with some
amusing incidents while giving boxing
lessons.
One day q husky young man came
to him as a pupil. He took his boxing
lesson and went home somewhat the

When he came for his second lesson
he said: mi. Sullivan, it was my
idea to learn enough about boxing
from you to give a certain young gen.
tleman a good licking. I've had it in
for him a good while. But I've changed
my mind. II you have no objections

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide US as t.
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get In a hurry, swallow our
food very much al we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind Of food
