National Emblem of Wales Is Red Dragon While the harp Is a Welsh national Instrument, it is not recognized as th« national emblem. The national em .blem for Wales is the red dragon ol Cadwallader, the last of the Welsh kings. This emblem had a place in the royal arms of Great Britain as a supporter In the reign of King Henry VII, but that king, toward the end of his reign, changed the supporters, which were the two white lions ol March, to the Welsh dragon on the dexter side, with the white greyhound on the sinister. The latter emblem was representative of either the De Beauforts, his own ancestors, or the Nevilles, the ancestors of his wife, both of these families using the white greyhound as a family badge. In 1528 Ills son, Henry VIH, used for support ers to the royal arms the golden lion on the dexter, while the red dragon of Wales, which his father had used on the dexter, he relegnted to the sin ister side. These supporters continued In use until the accession (In 1603) of James VI of Scotland as James I ■ of England. James kept the golden lion on the dexter, but changed the red dragon of Wales on the sinister to the unicorn, as in the royal arms of Scotland—an emblem of purity. Cat and Nine Z ivea The origin of the saying that "a cat has nine lives” is obscure, but It Is generally supposed to have originated in ancient Egypt where cats were oh lects of worship I’asht was the cat headed goddess of the Egyptians. Af fording to one writer on mythology this goddess was supposed to have nine lives and probably gave rise to the common expression about cats having nine lives.
