FOUNDED ON WASH DAY.
The Humble Origin of One of the Gel
brated Clubs Of Boston.

The Humble Origin of One Of the Cello
brated Clubs Of Boston.
From the Chicago Tribune
"Were you ever in Boston, and did you ever
dine at the Temple Club of that city?'' asked a
well-knovn club man Of Chicago. Then he
added: Nearly eighty years ago several
merchants Of the Hub took to dining down
town Mondays for the reason that that day
was wash day at home and their wives
gave the order that there would be no regular
dinners on that day there. In this way the
men became cronies, for they were in the habit
Of dining together at down town restaurant
They looked for Monday to come with the in
terest Of boys and they saved up their best
stories for that meeting. This was kept I'D for
town was growing and they had not as much
time as formerly.
1t was suggested that IL the good wives could
get along better with the homework on one
day for the absence of the husbands they,
the wives, could do much better if the
day On this suggestion the Temple
Club, one OF the oldest in the city, was
founded OF course, the membership has
changed since its formation Many Of the
original members have passed away.
them are bankers. The building in which the
club rooms are fronts on the old Boston COM
mon. The bay windows are large and look out
on the most fashionable promenade Of the CITY.
In those windows every afternoon one can see a
number of older members, every one banker
worth from million to two or three millions,
slipping their brandy and soda, a great drink
with the older men in Boston. and watching
the ladies as they pass by. The members have
peculiar reverence for Monday. That is the
day on which they invite their guests to dine
with them. On that day the dinner is served
to the members without card. Ii is home
dinner, and the walters card is dispensed with
for the reason that il is the intention to make
the dinner free from everything that has any
semblance OF business

and India at least two thousand years ago.
The soil Of the plains in that part Of the world
contains much saltpetre, and the accidental
mixing Of this mineral with the charred embe,s
hame, have given rise 70 the discovery. Its
only use for many centuries was in the shape Of
fireworks. In the middle ages rockets we're EN-
ployed 90 weapons in battle. Of them of great
size, and 1t has been suggested that Archimedes
used some explosive composition in the defense
Of Syracuse for throwing stones against the be-
siegers. The "Greek fire" utilized by the
Saracens against Richard Ceur de Lion and the
crusaders was thrown in the form Of enormous
rockets, which those assailed described a. mis-
siles as big barrels, with tails Of FIRE, rushing
through the air like dragons, accompanied by
noise like that Of thunder. One of them COM
ing overhead would light up the whole camp.
They were more alarming than destructive, how
ever. 1t was soon found that although water
would not put them out when they fell. sand and
earth would. This weapon was for . long time
regarded in Europe as unchristian and not to be
iegitimately adopted in warfare. At first it
was even thought to be of magical origin, and
therefore an appropriate instrument for pagans
to USE Later ON the notion was conceived of
employing the same explosive agent for the
purpose Of propelling stones and metal balls.
SKILL REQUIRED TO MAKE ROCKETS.
The rocket requires more skill in its manu-
facture than any other kind Of frework. Its
and diameter in proportion to its length; the
stick must be just so long and the packing Of
the case must be performed with the utmost
care in order to insure the proper ascent OF the
continuance and the scattering Of its stars and
what not at the precise moment requisite. The
eonical top, which is made separate from the
rest Of the case, contains what is called the
''garniture" OF stars or anything else that is to
make the display. In the cylindrical part of
the case is put the gunpowder that is to cause
the rocket to rise, and the connection with the
garniture must DO burned through at Just the
moment when the highest point is reached, so
that the stars or golden rain may be scat
tered with the effectiveness necessary
to make the spectators say "Oh!''
Every pyrotechnic has his own taste in
compositions for rockets. Roman candles,
squibs, &c. The stars are little packets made
OF various compositions SO as to produce fire
of different colors when ignited. Colors are
impaired to the flame with sodium for yellow,
calcium for red, strontium for crimson, barium
for green and copper for blue. Roman candle
balls are composed of metal filings, gum and
spirits of wine. They are cut to the right
shape, busted with gunpowder and dried
thoroughly before using.
One novelty in pyrotechnics has Just been
imported from Japan in the shape Of day fire.
works, which are shot high up in the air and let
loose whole focks Of birds, regular schools of
fish and dozens of balloons, all made Of very
light paper, SO that the air initiates them and
they sail slowly toward the ground, affording
most pleasing spectacle.

PAPER Is Crowding Out Wood.

Paper is fighting wood hard in the
manufacture Of boxes, buckets, and
even packing-cases, and SO perfect is
the manufacturing process that in
many instances nothing but the won
derful difference in weight can afford
a clew to the presence Of paper in the
manufacture. Paper packing-cases are
indestructible, apparently, and the
saving they effect in freight is enor-
moys. Thousands Of dollars are al
ready invested in this comparatively
new industry, and new company,
with $3.50, 900 capital, has been or
gained to introduce paper-boards in
TO other lines. Experiments have
been made with buggy wagons and
other things where lightness is need
ed, and paper foorings in lieu of boards
will soon be heard of. 1t is easy TO
render the material flre-proof in
course Of construction, and this is an
additional advantage that is highly
appreciated. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

the wing opinions differ. Some hold
that "snap-shooting" is the only way to
snoot successfully. "Snap-shooting is
generally understood to consist In put
ting the gun to the shoulder and firing
the instant IL Is In position; making the
allowance to the right, left, under, or
above, as the case may require, before
raising the gun; just as You point your
finger, instinctively, TO any oh, ect, with
out having TO sight along it. Others are
just as sure that no one ever shot decent
ly unless he followed the bird with the
sight on the gun and covered IL before
firing. Some again, insist that the gun
must swing along with the course of the
bird after pulling the trigger. In the
opinion OF an authority, every one who
has shot very much acquires style pc.
culiar to himself, and cannot do better
than depend on his temperament and
the kind of birds he has had the most
practice on.
He also says the most difficult shot is
a bird coming directly toward you and
flying about twenty feet above the
ground al have been quite successful
I'm this shot," he goes on, "by holding
directly at the bird until he is within
range, and then, Just as l touch tho
trigger, | raise the muzzle Of the gun
about SIX inches / would only advise
trying this shot where there Is more
than one bird, and you want to use the
second barrel. When there is only one
incoming bird, wait until he passes over
you, and then by shooting under him,
more or less, according to the speed and
elevation at which he is flying, you will
be pretty sure to kill.

over, hold above the line OF fight and
from six to nine feet ahead of the bird
This may seem entirely too much, but 1
