The word "club" Is one OF good Sax
on origin and signifies society OF per-
sons united for political, social, scienti-
fc, artistic or literary ends. Clubs
differ from associations in that they
have a home or headquarters where
mem bers meet on footing OF equality.
Clubs have existed in England, with
many notifications and claiming many
purposes, for more than 300 years. One
OF the first and most famous OF which
we have any record Is the historic Mer-
maid club, so called after the inn where
the members assembled. This club
was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh,
and among its members were Shakes
peare, Ben johnson, Beaumont and
Fletcher, Greene, Ford. Massinger and
many other great lights OF Elizabeth's
brilliant reign. Political clubs are as
old as political intrigue, and, as might
be expected, they flourished In England
during the reign OF Charles the Second.
The Brothers club, OF which Swift,
Harley and Bollngbroke were members,
the Hanoverian club and the Beet-steak
and Kit-Kat clubs we're famous in Lon
don at the beginning OF the eighteenth
century.

Use and Abuse of Gloves.

When putting gloves on, begin by
buttoning the second button; then,
when buttoned 10 the top, you can
easily fastcn the first bottom without
tearing the kid. Never remove the
gloves by pulling the fingers, but by
drawing the part covering the wrist
over the hand, and leave them thus
wrong side out for some time before
turning them to their proper shape.
Always lay gloves lengthwisei never
roll them.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-04-19

THE democrats of the house were not driven into adopting the rule in regard to counting a quorum, which so many demo- crats of prominence personally opposed, by the republicans, as they are claiming. It vas the refusal of the republicans to vote that kept the house tied. except dur ing the short intervals when there was a demscratic quorum present, for almost a month, thus making conspicuous the necessity fer counting quorum or allow ing the business of the house to be die tated by the republicans; but after all it was not the republicans who forced the democratic caucus to do what should not have been necessary, but which was abso- lutely necessary. It was the inability of the democratic leaders to keep democrat ic quorum on the floor of the house that did the business. They concluded that they had tried and failed so often to keep democratic quorum that it would be a good idea to make the republicans help by counting them when the refused to vote, and at the same time, thank heaven, they are going to make the absentee come to time or forfeit his pay while absent with out leave, except when sick and unable to attend to his duties
