HIS POINT OF ORDER.

Congressman Deliver. of the Tenth
Iowa district, has big tent which he
purchased from stranded circus COM

Last October, while making the round
of his district, Mr.. Dolliver reached a
town where it was too cold for an audi
ence in the tent, an adjournment was
had to great grocery storehousc.
which was able to accommodate numbers
of political truth-seekers. In one cor
ner there was q barrel of sauerkraut

stove, Of the kind that will roar like an

With great fire the crowd began 10

mindful Of the sauerkraut barrel. But
in the midst of one of Mr.. Delivers eio-
quent lights his attention was dis
tracted by an Irishman who said he
rose to a point of order.
"The gentleman may state it," quoth
Mr.. Deliver.
"Oi move you. sor," said he, that a
committee be appointed 10 place a
horse blanket on that barrel of sauer-
l1raut."
The barrel had warmed with the
growth of the fire, and an odorthat was
anything but agreeable in n political
atmosphere was forcing itself up the
nostrils of the faithful. The horse
blanketwas secured from n neighboring
stable and applied to the use designated,

LACK OF mr. Adequate water supply
Also Causes the People Discomfort.
A correspondent writing from Jo-
hannesburg, the chief city of the south
African gold fields. says:
DUST is the curse of johannesburg.
1t not only comes from the stress;
which are unp0ved, but also from the
great heaps of 'taillings.' rs they are
called, which-lilze the pit heaps at our
coal mines at bome-arc to Ice found
close TO all the gold mines here. These
'tailings' are composed of the reef,
or rock, in which the gold Is found an /
which is crushed TO an impalpablc pow
der in the mills. in order that the gold
may lie extracted. 1t is then dumped
into huge heaps and rs strong gusts of
wind PASS over these the dust is carried
far and wide. At certain seasons of tho
year these dust storms rs they are
called, make locomotion almost impos-
siblc.
approaching Johannesburg you can
sec, while yet miles away, u thick haze
cnshrouding the place, and when you
get TO close quarters this is found to be
composed OF clouds OF briek-rcd dust,
which is blown into your face and pen.
etrates eyes, nose, and mouth, perma-
nently discolors your linen and drives
into the facings OF your garments n
deep coating which il is impossible to
remove by brushing. To people with
weak lungs these dust storms arc ex-
ccedingly troublesome, setting up ir-
ritation, which often ends in pneu-
moDia. Then there Is the water sup.
ply, or alleged supply, furnished 10y one
of lIr. Darnato's maoy companies and
just rs unsatisfactory as many of the
same gcntleman's schemes. Every now
and then there is water famine, and
not even for cooking or for washing can
water be obtained, for love or money
Us the saying goes. 1t is said that dur
ing one of last years water famines
soda wntcr was largely used for wash
ing and for baths. At one of the leading
hotels the guests were furious at being
unable TO get bath, and one lady, hap
pening to see = pail of water which u
waiter had left for n moment, seized
it and rushed to the bathroom with It,
The waiter happened TO witness the
seizure and followed, frantically de
mnnding the water back. This was flat
y refused. whereupon he begged as a
special favor TINT the lady would use
no soap at her ablutions. as the water
was needed for the soup in the EVENING"

FORCE OF HABIT AND INSTINCT

,i1xpcrtmcnts ia biology That Illus
strEtc Natural InconEruitIes.
Prof. Lloyd Morgan, the well-knowp
biologist, has just published the result.
OF experiments and observations made
Ly him on the influence of habit on IL.
stinct- in animals. Habit is defined by
the professor as action or conduct stere
'ctyped on the individual by repetition
while instinct Is twofold, namely, in
herited instinct, comprising congen.
italy definite faculties and innate ca,
pacity, and acquirSl instinct leading
10 the formation of habit. Both habit
md instinct are automatic, although
lfss' such automatic acts as breathing
aud walking, they may become subject
to conscious cerebration or action of the
Will
IL Is instinct which, when n hen has
hntched o brood of ducklings, throws
her into q terrible state of agitation
when the brood, also nctuated by in
stinct, takes to the water. What expe
Eaence, asks Mr.. Morgan, has the her
Of drowning2 To adopt such an inter.
probation Is to credit her with powers
of7anticipating the results of expert
ence. which it is hard TO conceive she
possesses. 1t is more probable that her
fussy behavior is partly the result OF
her little ones going where she has an
instructive aversion to following them
and partly the result of n breach OF
normal associations due to previous cx
perience with chicks. Two instances
are recorded of hens under the impulse
of habit. Each had reared three broods
OF ducklings in succession, while tho
fourth brood of each consisted o.
chickens. One of the hens used TO fly
70 q stone in thepond and remain there
while her ducllings swan around her
When her chickens were Eatched she
1iew tc the accustomed stone and called
eagerly TO them to follow her. but in
vain. The other hen, finding herchicks
did A6t Stake to the water like her for
nfer 'broods had done, took them dowr
to the stream and pushed them in. Imi-
tation hegets habit, and habit becomes
instinct.
