ORICIN OF'CALICO."
The Chicago Tn'lr tells its readers
that the derivation of this word (calico) is
very interesting as of such an ancient date
is its origin. Mrs. Leniinwciis says in In r
"Travels iu India" that ' in tho year I 1!'S,
just ten months iiml two days after leaving
the port uf l.isb ui, Vasca da (iama landed
on the coast of Malabar at Cali.-ut, or more
ptvperly Kal.i l!h ala, -('il v of the Dlaek
tioddes-.' Calicut was at that p.-riod not
only a very ancient seaport, but au cxteti

western coast of southern India, rent hid

Time was when epitaphs were elaborate
Hcrinons, when eulogies to 'Mind's best
gift" went of ninny words; but our modern
epiLaphs have so diminished in verbal vol
ume that the fame of C.-esar's brevity ii
ill imminent dang, r. It is not to be in
feri'ed at all lliat rough man loves gentle
woman less. but. rather, that he has learn
ed to crystalize his sentiments to lit the
eoiiliiietcd space of modern tombstones.
.lu-t how soiil-l lying, bow difficult this
condensation, this boiling down as it were
of I he joyous reminiscences in the life of a
hen peeked 1'. It n, hi,, of his mil, 1 manner
ed Kalherine's gentle curtain talks, s.i
smoothly eloquent because of the omission
of all commas, must ever more remain a
j matter of vague conjecture; bin certain it
is that a cursory analysis readily extracts
the heart waili and tear-yielding grief of
a stricken one like him who wrote :
"Here lie- my Hr wife, a slulleni ami slirew ;
11 1 sulil I iinretteil In r l-linl,l lie, t "
The poet who wrote of women that
"i'lielnn-iiioliyoflli, ir totine liull, Inlo Isnnlae
Hi aiiit in too ilili;;iiit ear"
was truthful, but it remained for one John
Young, iu his anoiiish, to give a prosaic
completion to the poet's expression, which
ho did when he indited the following cpi-taph.-
"I'li'lcr tills stone, u lutui of clay,
I les Arals-Hu Yollntf,
Willi mi tlie.'llh of Stay
.llttKali to Inilil ln,r UiliKiu-,"
Agiiiii, see the calm resignation of a be
reaved husband of Cheshire, who, after
the date of her death, had placed on his
wife's tombstone this tuuehing epitaph:
I'liere was a ureal culm."
Next in theliigurbrious procession comes
a stricken Welshman, and tho following
epitaph to his ' bettor halt" tells of the
sweetest spot on earth, and why it is Bo
deal:
' llii- -ml iiltlie.H.'t.l.'Sl l vi'Sevll til my life,
l'.,r ii raises my (lowers, unit covers my w -1 ft-."
Imagine, if you can, the genuine grief
of a modern philosopher who epitomized
his irreparable loss in this couplet.-
"Here lie my X uitipii,', lei her lie:

epitaph being taken from the Cheltenham

e l-f thi- mum and aecept a term of liftem

The trial resulted in hi eoiivietion, and
the d-li nd.int appealed to the Supreme
Court, which or.mted a new heuritnr. A
seemid virdiet against liiddlo was remlen d
and he was sent to the penitentiary. Year

the eonvic.s died, und Hiddle almost aban

While (iovcnior Taylor wan heated in bis

thi petition was a letter written by the
woman who bore it. After the (inventor

Without waiting to hear the tiovunnr's

the dunking of every cup, the time of ris

A Ttth K oV'W.YK.- lie l'aris says that
the 'Jernian drummcrsaud trumpeter.1 are
praetieing Freneh beats and eails, in order
to deceive their enemies in battle. It al-
f.t says that in many engagements in the
war of 1H70 the command toeea.se firing
was often given to the French infantry by
German buglers; and that the command
to halt sounded by the same bugler often
stopped a ehiirga id' Wench cavalry, and
placed them iu position where tliuy could
hi moved down, New York Sua.
"Breddern," said iho parson, "dar am a
broad and a narrow way dat leads to

way dat lends to hell."
"In dat cam', pa'sou," cried a befogged
limer, "dig niggah take) to de woods."

AN AMUSINC MISTAKE.
Avery amusing mistake recently i c
0111 red in one of the public schools. The
reading class was up. and a bright litll
follow was reading away with decided vim.
The teacher was listetiiiu with admiration,
but presently was startled wle li she leanl:
' And h ' garnished his teeth with rags."
'What's that'.' What did ymi sin?" she
ipiickly asked. The answer came in child
like siinylii ity: ' lie garni-hod his teeth
with raos." The teacher could not re
frain from laii.jliing outright when she
s iw how her pupil b id distorted the sen
tence, "Ho gnashed his teeth with rag ."

after a few months it is at

expectoration. Thu patient

sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he lie

sort of whirling sensatiou in

hot at times; tlie blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites
if the eyes lu'coiue tinged with
.'ellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high col

after standing. There is fre
iiletitly a spitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
