Fabric.
The derivation of this word is very in

origin.
Mrs. I.eonowens says in her Travels ia
India that in the year 1las, just ten
months and two days after leaving the
port at Lisbon, Nnsco da CANA landed on
the coast of Malabar mt Calieut, or more
properly kale Rhoda. 'City of the Black
Goddess.
.Calicut was at that period not only II
very anei mt seaport, but an extensive
territory, which. stretching along the
western coast Of Southern India, reached
from Bombay and the adjacent islands TO
Cape Comorin
Ii was Mt an early period so famous for
its weaving and dyeiug of cotton cloth
that its name became identified with the
manufactured fabric. whence the name
calico 1t is now generally admitted that
this ingenious art originated in India in
remote ages. and from that country found
it's way TO Egypt.
1t WAS not until the middle of the seven
teenth century that calico printing was
introduced into Europe. a knowledge of
the art was acquired by some of the ser
wants of the Dutch East India Company
and carried tu Holland whenceit WAS iu-
troduced in London in the year 1876.
1t is surprising for grown-up children,
as well as our young folks, to learn that
