The word "calico" has peculiar
origin. Many centuries since the

Malabar, IIindustan, gave to one of
his chiefs, as a reward for services,
the land within the limits of which
cock Growing at a certain temple
could be heard From this circum-

up in the center of this territory
was called "Calicado" or "The

HOW THE SEXES DIFFER.
Contrary Ways of Men and Women In
Doing the Same Thing.

Doing the Same Thing.
Ever watched man as he takes
a chair? He'll move it-every time,
even if it's only an inch. He would
not sit in it just where it was for
the world. Watch him next time
and see if he doesn't move it. A
woman will seat herself without
touching the chair. A woman is
more philosophical anyhow.
Men are queer creatures, as every
one knows. A man will always stir
his coffee before drinking it. This
IS very foolish. He should taste it
first to see if it needs stirring.
Few men open their personal cor
respondence without looking at the
postmarks to see the time of post
ing. Women, on the other hand,
tear open the envelope at once.
They are in too much of a hurry to
waste any time.
When a man puts on his hat he
almost always looks inside it first.
What he expects to see remains a
mystery, but he looks for it, all the
same.
He subjects the point of his pen
to the same careful scrutiny before
commencing to write a letter A
woman starts right off, jabs her pen
in the ink pot and straightway be-
gins to scribble as if her life de-
pended on it.
1T is the man who reads with his
back to the light, holding his book
in one hand. Herein lies wisdom.
A woman rests her book on the ta-
bic and leans both elbows thereon.
But the foolishness of the mans
act lies in the fact that he is seek
ing comfort and seldom takes this
position because it is the most sci.
entilc one. OF course he finds il
isn't comfortable. His arm aches
after the first ten minutes, where
upon lie puts his book down and re-
marks he is going out.
1t is the man who lets out se-
crets-not by telling them, but by
i'll timed silence; He does worse.
by refusing to crafty the curiosity
Of his questioners he invariably
causes them to jump TO conclusions
much more damaging than the truth
of the matter New foNk Press.
