The Origin of the Word Calico.

In the year 1889, just ten months
and two days after leaving the port at
Lisbon, Vasco da Cana landed on the
coast of Malabar at Calicut, or more
properly, Khale Rhoda, Getty of the
Black Goddess" Calicut was at that
time not only very ancient seaport,
but an extensive territory, which,
stretching along the coast of southern
India, reached from Bombay and the
adjacent islands to Cape Cormorin. 1t
was at an early period so famous for its
weaving and dyeing of cotton cloth that
its name became identified with the
manufactured fabric, hence the name
calico. 1t is now generally admitted
that the ingenious art originated in
India, in remote ages, and from that
country found its way into 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
servants of the Dutch East India Com
pany and carried to Holland, whence it
was introduced in London in the year
1916. 1t is surprising for grown-up
children, as well as our young folks, TO
learn that "Pliny, as early as the first
century, mentions in his natural his
tory that there existed in Egypt won
derful method of dyeing white CLOTH"
Calico cannot be despised when it
boasts of such antiquity. The shoddy
makeup of the present day may look
with contempt upon the calico dress,
but What kind of lineage has it?"
the calico can proudly ask.-Draper' S
Record.

GauZe Gowns.

Gauze dresses of single color-pale
blue, mauve, Nile green or faded rose
are made up over large figured faille
that appears to be painted by hand in
most artistic fashion. A new mouseline
de sole has puckered stripes like those
of crepon, and also gilt lines amid
rough silk stripes, similar to those of
Algerine silks. These are all of yellow
or else with cream white stripes, while
others have large flower designs of the
lotus, iris, or orchids. A pale blue
gauze or mouseline dress is partly plain
and partly figured, the plain mouseline
being used for the waist, and that with
figures for the large sleeves and skirt.
A soft belt and draped collar of dark
blue velvet are on the waist, and velvet
cuffs faring outward are turned back on
the sleeves.

"TOO Many of We."

" Mamma, is there too many of we2'
The little girl asked with sigh.
IL Perhaps you wouldn't be tired, you see,
II q few Of your childs should die"
She was only three years old-this one
who spoke in that strange, sad way,
And she saw her mothers impatient frown
At the chidren's boisterous play.
There were half.dozen who round her stood,
And the mother was sick and poor,
Worn out with the care of the noisy brood,
And the fight with the wolf at the door.
For a smile or kiss no time, no place;
For the little one least of ALI
And the shadow that darkened the mothers face
Ger the young life seemed to fall.
More thoughtful than any she felt more care,
And pondered in childish way
How to tighten the burden she could not share,
Growing heavier every day.
Only week, and little Claire
In her little white trundle-bed
Lay with her blue eyes closed and the sunny haii
Cut close from the golden head.
Don't cry" she said-and the words were low,
Feeling the tears that she could not see
You won't have to work and be tired So
When there amt so many of We"
And the dear little daughter who went away
From the home that for once stilled,
Showed the mothers heart, from that dresry day
What place she had always filled.

The Worlds Tyranny.

There are many slaves to the opu-
ions of the world. 1t was the boast
of the Macedonian that he had con-
quered the world; the world can boast
that it has conquered them. Subser-
Went to its opinions, theirs is the
miserable condition of an unhappy
servant, who has to bear in some
ill-governed household the caprices,
not of one mistress, but of many
The fear of the Lord is the begin
ming of wisdom, but the fear of man
bringeth snare. How many of the
young are ruined just because they
have not the courage to say nay, to
do what they know to be right-al-
lowing themselves to be laughed out
of their virtuous habits and early
home training. Then to what misery

Common Thyme for WhOOping.
Cough.

Common thyme is advocated ear
nesIly by DR.. Neovious as remedy for
whooping-cough. During an epidemic
of this malady he had ample opportuni-
ties of observing its effects, and came
to the conclusion that if given early
and constantly it invariably cuts short
the disease in fortnight, the symptoms
vanishing in two or three days, liable
to return, however, if the thyme is not
regularly taken for at least two weeks.
He gives from one and one-half to six
ounces per day combined with little
marshmallow sirup, and says he has
never known an undesirable effect pro-
duced except slight diarrhea. Baby.

Hits for Papering Rooms.

In papering room it is we'll to re-
member that room having a cold
north light should be furnished in
warm colors, and that dark room
should be clothed in sharp, light shades
that borders of any kind lessen, by
sharply defining the corn ers of a room,
the apparent size of room. In small
room small patterns should be used.
Lines running from ceiling to floor give
the effect of height, while lines running
around a room lessen the effect of
height.-Neio York Journal

Make Your Own Perfume.

The formula for the concoction of
cologne is as follows Oil of lemon
grass and oil of bergamot, one drachm
each; oil of cloves and oil of cinnamon,
twenty drops each; oil of neroli, one
