CALICO.

The word calico has a queer origin.
Many centuries ago the first monarch
of the province of Malabar, in Hindu
stan, gave to one of his chiefs as a re-
ward for distinguished services his
sword and all the land within the linn
it of which a cock growing at a GER
tain temple would be heard. From
this circumstance the little town
which grew up in the center of this
territory was called Calicoda, or "The
Cock Growing" Afterward it was
called Calicut, and from. this place
the first cotton goods were imported
into England bearing the word calico.

One afternoon last summer there en- tered hospital in the poorer quarter of Philadelphia little girl of about s years, bearing in her arms fox terrier whose forefoot had been crushed by 8 heavy wagon. To the attendant who tells the story the little girl explained that she desired to have the doctors "fix the doggy's foot" The physicians were for refusing the case at first, but in view of the great distress of the youngster, they finally permitted their good nature to get the better of them. Chloroform, instru- ments and bandages were produced, and neat operation was performed, the child bravely assisting.
 "Now," said one of the doctors, "you may take the dog home with you"
