as Emblems

The recent announcement in a con
temporary that the Ulster men are
trying to institute a demonstration,
when every man, woman and child will
wear flower as a token OF their aver
sion 10 Home Rule, reminds one how
often flowers have been used as en-
blems
Since The leaders OF the Yorkist and
Lancastrlau parties each plucked a
rose in the Temple Gardens. the Ian
castrian a red and the Yorkist a white
this flower has been a popular emblem
Apart from the fact that red roses are
symbolieal of love and white Of purity
the English national emblem is the
rose; the Legitimist party Of France
formed the League Of the Rose in lmi-
tstion of our Primrose League, while
OWING TO Gadstone's fondness for white
roses many Liberals once wished to
make them an emblem for their party
but the idea was not adopted
The primrose. il is said, was Bea-
conshelds favorite flower. ana has been
chosen by his followers. who formed the
Primrose League, as an emblem while
in France the violet because Of its
purple hue was worn by Imperialists as
an informal token Of their loyalty to The
Bonapartes When the son of the ex-
| Empress Eugene was brought home %
be buried after being killed in the
Zulu campaign. his body was almost
covered with violets
The carnation was taken as an EN-
bem by the mortbund Boulangist party
OF which Henri Rochefort who died re-
Gently, was a supporter
Then, again, there are favorite ma
tlonal emblems There are the lilies
Of France the thistle for Scotland the
shamrock for Ireland the leek for
Wales. and The mapel leaf for Canada.
