NATIONAL EMBLEMs.
DEAR C. c. When and where the beautiful Gus
tom II using plants aud flowers as National en-
bieIns originated have never been able To learn.
Ireland dates tie origin Of tho shamrock as her
emblem back 10 the time Of ST. Patrick. Many
claim tic shamrock 10 be our common clover IL
~ saId to resemble IT very much To the Emerald
Islander lhe three leaves Of tie shamrock repre-
sent the Trinity: also Faith, Hope aud Charity.
About a. ID, 4Z3 Pope Ceiestine consecrnIed ST.
Patrick Bishop and sent him into ireland ON Il
mission but as soon IA the natives got the idea oi
his Intentions they undertook 10 him for try
Ing to enforce new religion on them instead of the
81 the old regime lie was finally given hear
ing, but not seeming 10 understand the truth the
saint plucsed piece of shamrock aud held IL up IA
symbol Of the Trinity. They were then convinced
u their aud 10 this man bclOTgz the honor
81 bringing THE plant intO notice ana causing II
10 figure 80 eOnspicuousy ia the celebration Of 81.
Patrick Day and other holidays.
England las well ChVscnthe rose a. her emblem.
The Greeks, - lie said consented this flower To
Venus, tse Queen Of Beauty; bat with them as
with thc Romans, II has ever been indicative oi
scnce A. the Roman icasls lovely clusters OF roses
were suspended, and whatever was said under
the rose must never be- repeated. not only la
these countries, but neighboring ones as well, has
this idea Oi secrecy prevailed Even here. in our
own land do we often hear our own boys aud girls
make use Of the title phrase " sub rosa"
Tins beautiful Hover hts also figured extensively
in politics. Almost everyone has read Of It's Hsso-
citation wll tiic tcuds between the Houses of York
aud Lancaster the War the Roses" which lasted
thirty years. Aud the Tennessee q. C's viii re-
member the gubernHtOria campaign, when the
Taylor brothers were the contestants. The red
rose then represented the Republican faction the
white tlle Democratic.
Who has not heard the story Of the thistle la con.
nectiOn with -couaudH According 10 tradition IL
became the emblem Of Scotland during the in
vasion Of the Danes. Every stronghold had been
taken but The Scots were asleep aud the
Danes were about 10 make assault, when Dam
ish soldiers foot WAS pierced, causing him 10 cry
out loudly with pain 10 awaken the Scotch in
Time for them 20 gain a most glorious victory.
There HIe several beautiful legends in connection
with tic origin Of the lily ar the emblem Of France
but it, % giii - said 10 be really unknown. How
ever, one story says that King Clovis. who had
married Christian Princess. and himself had be-
come n Christian through her influence, was HJ war
with the E"uans. At 81 battle, ACCOM- panied by Il
priest. they kncli down and prayed that victory
might attend them. Suddenly the King banner
which bore tlte picture of three toads, began Ia
change It's appearance, the t0ads vanishing aud
