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.

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.
