How Calico Cot its Name.

The derivation Of this word ii very
interesting as Of such an ancient date
is Its origin. Mrs. Lenowens says ii
her Travels in India, that ia Che
year 1496. just ten months and Two
days after leaving the port Of Lisbon.
Vasco da CANA landed on the coast
OF Malabar at Calicut, or more pxop
erly Kala Rhoda, Getty Of the Black
Goddess" Calicut was at that peri
cd not only & very ancient seaport
but an extensive territory, which
stretching along the western coast OF
Southern India, reached from Bombay
and the adjacent Islands to Cape
Comorin. 1t was at an early period so
famous for its weaving and dyeing Of
cotton cloth that its name became
identified with the manufactured f6bE
rio, hence the name calico. Iii 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
seventeenth centurYfthat calico print.
ing was introduced into Europe, a
knowledge ofthe art was acquired BIZ
some Of the servazts OF the Dutch
East India Company, and carried To
Holland, whence it was introduced id
