The Thistle Of Scotland.

The thistle OF Scotland IL said to be the
Oldest national flower, and tradition
traces it's adoption TO the reign Of Alexau-
der III and the battle Of iarga when an
attacking Dane stepped upon "A thistle and
~involuntarily gave the alarm, whereupon
the Scots drove the invaders out).
Another account Of It's adoption Is Or n

die of the 18th century, a mpan or stern
faced men met in the council chamber OF
Edinburgh, and the occasion Of that meet
ing was 10 discuss the ACCESSIBILITY OF sub
shutting the thistle for the figure OF st.
Andrew on the national banner. The pro-
eeding OF the council were secret. out
soon after the thistle appeared upon every
Scottish banner. The national motto
might have been adopted with %appropri-
ateness on either of these occasions:
Memo me impunc lacessit.' The polite
reading OF this is, mo man attacks me
without being punished" but the more
simple translation ~ earlier days was,
Touch me who darcs!' while the original
Is supposed to have been, "Wba dare med

sometimes accompanies the Scottish en-

The thistle appeared officially for the
