II. Buc!i^horn fo-netiTnes I* Called the Chriat-Thorn The buckthorn is one of a very large family whose members grow all over the world. Some of them have long and interesting histories, but only a few of them live up to the j family name by producing thorns, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. Probably the most famous variety is the Asia Minor and European buckthorn, which is sometimes called the Christ-thorn. It got its name from the legend that the crown of thorns which Christ was forced to wear was made from this shrub. English writings in the Eleventh century mention the buckthorn (also known as wuythorn or Hartshorn) and its uses in medicine. WekJh physicians in the Thirteenth century used to advise that the juice of the buckthorn berry be mixed with honey and taken us an aperient drink. One of the most interesting relatives of the common buckthorn is the species which grows in the western states. The Indians like the dark berries of the western buckthorn, which is unique in that it is said to color the body of anyone who eats the berries. Soldiers fighting Apaches in the early days reported they found Indians whose bodies were red from gorging on the buckthorn berries. The buckthorn's use in medicine is not its only recommendation. Its small greenish-yellow flowers are especially favored by the bees; goats, sheep, and horses like to eat the berries, although cows refuse to touch them. Gathered before they are ripe, the berries make a yellow dye used for staining papers and maps. A different shade of yellow bye is prepared from the bark of the buckthorn, and the ripe berries make a green pigment when mixed with other ingredients. To the landowner, farmer and outdoor fan the buckthorn is a decorative shrub which bears an atj tractive purple berry in the fall and keeps its waxy green leaves until very late in the season. I ' O uilying Territories of U. S. and How Acquired The outlying territories of the United States are the following: Alaska, purchased from Russia in 18G7 for $7,200,000. Hawaii, annexed in 1898 at the 'request of the people of Hawaii. Porto Rico, ceded by Spain at the co elusion of the Spanish-American v.. Virgin Islands of the United Stales, consisting of the more westerly of the Virgin Islands group in p-P West Indies, the others being British. These islands were formerly known as the Danish West Indies, and were purchased from Denmark in 1917 for $25,000,000. The Philippines, taken from Spain by the Spanish-American war, $20,000,000 being paid Spain in settlement. Guam, an island of the Mariana Archipelago in the Pacific, also ceded by Spain in 1898. American Samoa, consisting of four islands of the Samoa group in the south Pacific. From 1889 to 1900 t the United States, Germany and Great Britain exercised a kind of joint protectorate over Samoa. In 1900, following the overthrow of the native king, the islands were divided between this country and Germany, by agreement among the powers. Grass 200 Feet Tall If you saw grass 200 feet tall, you would be surprised; but. a species of grass does attain that height. Only it does not look like grass, and we call it bamboo. It grows as much as a foot a day. The bamboo has a hundred uses. -In the East, says London Tit-Bits Magazine, the tender shoots are cut with care, curried and eaten, and the dish is regarded as a great delicacy. But the uncooked shoot must never be allowed to touch the bare skin, for tiny hairs on it cause intense irritation to human beings. Among the articles into which bamboo is fashioned are poles, rugs, screens, milk containers, water buckets, gramophone needles, flutes and other musical instruments, wat?r pipes, pipes for smoking, cfigarette holders, sweets, kites, canes, swords, pens, fences, lances and scores of other things. Marriage of Two Kimonoa I Ore of the most famous weddings in Japan in many years was the marriage of two kimonos, solemnized in a Shinto ceremony in Kyoto in 1934. The bride was a celebrated. 232-year-old hand-painted silk garment, says Collier's Weekly, while the groom was a renowned, 110year-old hnad-t mbroidered cotton rotxi. This marriage was such an important event, in fact, that those owning copies of the wedding invitation will not sell them at any price. Lighthouse Built Abo-t 'AZ1 B. C.
