Squire Rsrrstts Ancestry.

Squire Barrett was a number OF
years ago well known practitioner
at the Hampden county bar. DE

dress, but underneath a rough e1-
terror he was known to be deeply
read and brilliant scholar. His
wife was given more to the frivoli-
ties of life than to books, but heT
fad at one time was the family
genealoy. Then she studied hard
One day friend met Squire Barrett
and said, "Well, how goes the wife'f
family treep"
ooh, her tree is all right" said
the squire, with a twinkle in his
eye, "but when she began on mine
she had trouble"
"What was the matter?" asked
the friend.
"Well, you see, about the first
thing she struck in my genealogy
was Hudson river pirate, and she

ORIGIN Of III. Word "caIIeo.D

The word "calico" has a peculiar
origin. Many centuries since the
first monarch of the province OF
Malabar, HinduStan, gave to one OF
his chiefs, as a reward for services,
the land within the limits of which
a cock growing at certain temple
could be heard. From this circum-
stance the little town which sprang
up in the center of this territory
was called "Calicado" or "The
Growing Cock" Afterward it was
called Calicut, and from this place
the first cotton goods we're imported
into England under the name oil

HURRY CALL FOR A BRIDE.
Extremity of a Labrador King Wher
the Bishop Came.

Every summer when the coast OF
Labrador is fairly free and vessels
can approach that foggy and for
bidding country the bishop of New
foundland makes a trip as far north
as the ice permits. He finds much
to do in giving comfort and coun-
sci, christening the infants that
have been born during the winter,
preaching funeral sermons and unit
ing the betrothed, who await him at
the fishing stations.
Landing at the Seal islands once,
he found an assemblage clad in its
level best at the house of the
"king," or leading factor, for the
king, having buried four wives, had
resolved to take fifth, and he had
gathered the neighbors to witness
his Joy in the acquisition.
There are not many neighbors in
Labrador, but there were enough in
this instance to fill both rooms Of
his house. When the bishop had
been warmed and welcomed and was
prepared to speak the words that
would fill the Seal islands With re-
joicing he discovered that the union
was impossible because the bride
and bridegroom we're too nearly re-
lated.
"The church forbids this match"
he declared, and great was the sem
sation. The bride sank down in
tears Of modification and temper,
and the bridegroom scratched his
head in bewilderment. Something
had to be done, and quickly, for it
might be a year before clergyman
appeared on that coast again.
"Oh, well, there's plenty of 9th
ers," said the king, Frightening as
he surveyed his guests. He turned
to a woman In the company and
asked, "Will you have me, Lizzie 2"
'Not for giftp exclaimed the
guest Indignantly.
"Will you have me, Jane"
''Not if you were the last man on
Labrador"
"How for you, MoggartP"
Never"
The king looked ruefully over the
wedding party and, spying the cook
at the far side Of the room, march
ed over to her resolutely, seized her
by the arm, saying, "Come along,
Sue; you'll dop' dragged her, none
too willing, before the bishop, and
they were married.-Youth's Com
panion.

Drinking With Meals.

A fact that thin persons who wish
to become fat should bear in mind
is that much more food may be eat
en- and it will be more thoroughly
digested if one drinks than If one
does not drink while eating. No
doubt many have noticed the relief
experienced when, replete with food,
they have slipped water. Frequently
I have seen children writing with

bv a few swallows of water. DR.. ia

SHERRY WINE.
How the Grapes Are Tramped Out
and the Juice ls Treated.

How the Grapes Are Tramped Out
and the Juice Is Treated.
The vintage of sherry wine in
Spain occurs between Sept. Is and
the last of October. After the
grapes are cut they are left in the
sun for two or three days, being
covered at night to protect them
from the dew. All bad and unripe
grapes are separated from the
punches, after which the good
grapes are thrown into large square
wooden troughs, when men, bare
legged and wearing heavy shoes with
projecting iron nails, tramp out the
grapes, and the liquid runs into an
adjoining vat.
The residue of stems, pips and
skins is put into another trough
and, after adding water, is crushed
with wooden press. The pulp is
used for feed for hogs. The liquid
obtained, called must" runs into
another receptacle and is of an in.
ferior quality. When the butts and
barrels are filled they are put in
the cellars, each barrel having tin
funnel inserted in the bunghole to
permit circulation of air. These
barrels must have a vacuum OF al
least four gallons to allow the wine
to ferment without overlooking
After the fermenting period OF
about two months the clear liquid
is transferred to other barrels care
fully, so as not to disturb the sedi-
ment at the bottom. The barrels
for the ultimate reception of the
wine must be of white oak, perfect
ly clean and smoked with sulphur tc
prevent dampness. The barrels are
then stored and carefully classified
by experts and a name given to the
wine in the different butts.
1t always happens that different
kinds of wine are obtained from th'
same grapes grown in the same vine
yards and subject to the same treat
ment. From the same grapes come
the mellow (hechos), light (tnos.
and bouquet (oloroSo). Some of the
wines are so bad that they are sole
as vinegar or burned for alcohol
Alcohol of 95 degrees must be mix
ed with wine at the rate of twelve
pints to the butt Of eighty-fve gal
Ions for each degree of strength de
sired. To properly preserve wine i
should have an alcoholic strength
Of at least 16 degrees, and as pure
wine does not possess that it mus
be strengthened. There are some
wines preserved in their natura
state, but they are very few.

Brief and to the Point.

answered: II have the honor to in

And win thereby prouder fame

They wear upon their honest brows
The royal seal and stamp of God,
And brighter are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds In a coronet.

And drive the commerce Of the main.
God bless them, for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory Of our landsl

An Opinion Of Justice Marshall.

Once as John Marshall, chief JUS
tice, was travelling toward Raleigh,
N. c., in stick gig his horse went
off the road and ran over a sapling,
so fitting the vehicle that it could
move neither to the right nor to
the left. AS the judge sat thinking
up way out of the dilemma an old
negro came along.
"Old marster," said he, "what for
you don't back your horse%
The juriSt thanked him for the
suggestion, backed the horse and,
promising to leave a dollar at the
inn for the good advice, went on his
way. The negro called at the inn
and found the dollar awaiting him.
He took it, looked at it and said:
"He was a gemman for sho', but
tapping his forehead significant,
ly-"he didn't have much in here. "

MAKING MEDICINE.
The Way indians Try to Propitiate the
Goddess OF Fortune.

The Way Indians Try 10 ProPitiate the
Goddess Of Fortune.
All Indians are superStitious and
have many ways by which they en-
deavor to propitiate the goddess Of
fortune, or, as they call it, make
medicine, either to bring them good
luck OF to break a spell of bad luck.
Each has his or her own peculiar
medicine, which must be made in
It's own peculiar way.
Sometimes an Indian will quietly
leave camp, 60 to a secluded hilltop
or ravine and sit there alone in the
hot sun for hours, hoping thus to
induce the power of medicine to
come and abide with him. Another
Indian on coming to stream or
pond will strike the water with his
hand or bow or tomahawk or other
weapon, at the same time uttering
a prayer to the Great Spirit to send
him good medicine, or he will dip
up some of the water in vessel and
pour it on the ground where grass
is growing before taking a drink,
no matter how thirsty he may be.
Others make particularly strong
and good medicine by standing ma
ked in the rain until their hair is
thoroughly wet through. If the rain
lasts but short time it is thought
that the medicine has been broken
and will be mo good" Some OF
the Indian women make medicine
by standing in the water and cut
ting their arms and legs with a
knife, believing that the deeper the
cut the more powerful will be the
medicine.
Indians also have what they call
medicine horses, medicine dogs,
medicine arrows, medicine bags,
medicine bones and medicine images
of men and beasts, all of which are
supposed to bring their owners good
luck. The medicine horse is often
painted and decorated in the most
fantastic manner and is thought ia
be able to carry his rider safely
through every battle. The medi'
cine dog is used to bring good luck
when on the chase and sometimes
to cure or prevent disease. So long
as the dog proves to be good medi-
cine he is safe from the pot, but
woe to him when his medicine fails,
for into his masters stomach he
goes as soon as water and fire and
strong teeth can take him.
Medicine bags are very common
and are supposed to be filled with
good medicine that will ward of
disease, bring good luck and pre-
serve the wearer from all harm in
hunt or fight. Whenever an Indian
has i'll luck he Is quite sure that IL
was caused by some one or some
thing having broken his medicine
and he will Immediately endeavor to
find out who OF what made the
break and to repair it by making
good medicine.
But, after all, the Indian is moi
alone in his medicine making The
white man has his medicine dogs
horses, cats, birds and goats, only
he calls them mascots. He has rab'
bits feet and horseshoes and lucky
coins, but he laughs at the medicine
making of the Indian.--New York
