ware Store.
 Just as he was about to pawn a handsome gun at Klien's on North Court Street early Monday night, Elijah Forester, a .-egro porter employed by Teague and Sons, was arrested by Mounted Patrolman D. P. Canty. For rester yesterday afternon pleaded gull ty to grand larceny before Recorder Baber and was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $300. In default of bail he was committed to the county jail.
 It was only by coincidence that Pa trolman Cantey caught the negro. Be- ing on the day force, he had just got ten off from work, and in citizens clothes, happened to go to klien's pawn shop. About 7:15 o'clock, while In the store. the negro approached clerk and handed over a handsome gun which he desired to pawn.
 The negro did not apprehend that MT. Cantey was an officer, but the patrol man at once saw there was somthlng crooked. He took possession of the negro and the gun. Forester was taken to the police station on charge of suspicion.
 A few minutes later a member of the firm of Teague and Sons, who con duct a wholesale hardware store on Commerce Street, reached the station and positively identified the gun.
 The warrant charging grand larceny was sworn out yesterday morning
 With the arrest of Forester, clue is btained for the unravelling of seV- tral thefts that have occurred from the store of Teague and Sons recently. It is believed that Forester stole the gun last Wednesday or Thursday night.
 Forester is about 30 years old and was employed for sometime as porter at the hardware stre.

Hymns You Ought to Know
THE NEW YEAR,
BY Philip Doddridge.

Philip Doddridge, London, June 26,
1'o2-Lsbon, Oct. 26, 175l, the famous
expositor, general writer, and author of
many hymns. was an English Congrega-
tional minister. He became pastor of a
church at kibsworth at the aye of 20
and at 81 he was engaged in training
others for the work of the ministry.
This song for the new year was given to
the public in the collection of Dodd.
ridge 8 hymns published in 1865. 1t was
usually sung at what were known as
the watchnight services" of the last
generation, midnight meetings held to
observe the going out of the old year
and the coming in of the new with ap-
propriate hymns and worship.)
Great God, We sing that mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
The opening year thy mercy shows;
Let merry crown it till it close.
BY day, by night-at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
by His incessant bounty fed,
BY His unerring counsel led.
With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before thy feet.
In scenes exalted or depressed,
Be Thou our joy and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored, through all our changing days.
When death shall close our earthly songs
And seal, in silence, mortal tongues,
Our Helper, God. in whom we trust,
Shall keep our souls and guard our dust.

HOW FLIES WALK ON THE WALL.
Another Old Time Theory Crushed by the
lnonoelast's Hammer.

Another Old Time Theory Crushed by the
lnonoelast's Hammer.
Few people, probably. know what it
is that enables flies to walk ON the
ceiling, Gays Harper's Weekly. 1t has
been supposed that their ability to do
so was due 10 the fact that each of
their feet is miniature airpump.
This theory was found to be un.
sound, and it was then explained that
the feat was made possible by means
of q viscous substance which exuded
from the hairs on their feet. This
theory was also abandoned as being
only partially accountable for the facts
and the preferred explanation is that
flies are enabled to walk upside down
on smooth substances by the help Of
capillary adhesion.
An investigator has found by q SO.
ries OF nice calculations-such as the
weighing and measuring of hairs-that
fly would be upheld by capillary at
traction were it four.ninths as heavy
again as it is. Each fly is supposed
to be furnished with from 10000 to
1900 minute foothairs, These exude
an oily fluid, and il is because Of the
repulsion between q watery surface
and this oil liquid that fly finds it
difficult to mount dampened glass.

BUSINESS FARMERS.

New Conditions That Keep Pace With the Pc
RODS Advance.
Most business men fail to realiz,
how rapidly the American farmer il
getting ahead in his strife for ighe
standard of business principle as ap
piled to farming. The American farm
er to-day is as different from the farmer
OF 20 years ago as his son, who wen
to city business life at the same time
is different from the farmer now
There are reasons for the change, and
it is important that advertisers usine
the agricultural press should clearly
recognize and understand them. Per
haps the first and most potent reason
is his prosperity. He has had what
business men would call some good
years. He has been paying off old
mortgages and has had money left fol
improvements. Agricultural and other
colleges have sent educated young
men back to the farms OF the elders
In other words the standard of intel.
ligence OF the farmer has teen raised
higher, proportionately, than probably
any other calling.
The farmer sees more OF the city
and the city man more OF the farmer
than formerly. Each learns some.
thing for his good, each imbibes some.
thing of the characteristics of the
other. At the county fairs the big
pumpkin gives way to the best pump.

bacon or the lard hog. Good roads
have induced him to ride in better
carriages and drive better horses. His
county institute and farmers club
have done as much for his crops and
his pocket-book as his fertilizers. He
has been imbued with his children's
desire for knowledge. and the rural
mail deliveries have given him the op.
portunity of keeping in touch with the
markets. He has become business
man. His farm papers are his pro-
fessional literature, and he has them
to cover all phases of farming; wheth.

HOW FIRES MAY START.

Damp lampblack, says writer in
an exchange, will ignite from the
suns rays. The same can be said of
cotton waste moist with lard or other
animal oil. Lampblack and little
oil or water will, under certain condi-
tions, ignite spontaneously. Nitric
acid and charcoal create spontaneous
combustion. New printers ink on

pipe will ignite quickly. Boiled lin.
seed oil and turpentine in equal parts
ON cotton waste will ignite in Q few
hours under q mild heat, and will in
time create enough heat to ig.
mite spontaneously. Bituminous coal
should not be stored where it will come
10 contact with wood partitions, or
columns, or against warm boiler SET
tings, or steam-pipes. This coal
should not be very deep if it is to be
kept on storage for a long period. If
piled in the basement of . building il
should be shallow and free from mois-
ture and under good ventilation. That

burned first. II on fire, a small guam.
tity of water showered on this kind OF
coal cokes it and retards any great
supply of water reaching the fire, thus
necessitating the overhauling of the
pile. Iron chips, filings or turnings
should not be stored in a shop in
wooden boxes. The oily waste which
is not infrequently thrown among
them adds to the danger of fire from
this source. The sweepiugs from the
machine shop, il kept on hand, should
never be placed over iron shavings.
This mass OF disintegrated iron is
enough to incite heat and combustion.
Iron and steel filings and turniugs
when mixed with oil will ignite spon.
taneously after becoming damp. A

latter to ignite spontaneously after be.
