The traveler returning from liurope comes from tin old world where

Despite the disarmament of the countries west of Ilussia, there are
us many men under arms as there vcre in central and western Europe be
fore the outbreak of the roiiuMct.iu 1911. The course upon which Europe
has embarked, if followed to its end, will lead to irretrievable ruin.
The.totnl number of states west of llussia has been increased by seven,
each circumscribed by tariffs, by restrictions upon travel and railway
transit, that are tantamount to a blockade. If there is ruin to the east
of central Europe, to the west of it the victorious countries are beset'by
cciniomic disorders and crushed by continuing deficit.

FAMOUS PLANT AT CAPITAL
Glastonbury Thorn, In the Grounds of
the Episcopal Cathedral, Object
of Veneration to Many.
In the grounds of the Episcopal ca
thedral of St. Albans, which Is being
built on commanding heights overlook
ing America's capital city of Washing
ton, there Is a curious plant known us
the Glastonbury thoin or Christ thorn.
This plant has a rare history, for thc
tradition, us told by a writer in the
Pathfinder, Is that It was this kind of
thorn front which the crown was
made when Christ was crucified. It
belongs to a very large botanical fam
ily, namely, the euphorbia ot which
there arc upwards of three thousand
known species. They usually yield n
milky Juice when cut or bruised. In
some cases this Juice Is poisonous.
Some of the wild tribes of Africa have
used It to poison the tips ot their ur
rows. The mime Glastonbury comes from
old Glastonbury abbey, near Bath,
England. It was to Glastonbury, ac
cording to tho legend, that Joseph of
Arlinnthea camu as a missionary to
found the first Christian church In
Eucland, and It was there that he
brought the holy grail, or golden cup
u&ed by Christ at the last supper.
It is related that Joseph on reaching
Glastonbury thrust his stick Into the
ground. This stick was from the
Christ thorn and be had brought It
from the Holy land as a sacred me
mento. It took root and since then
sprouts from It have been taken to
many different countries. A fanatic
during religious troubles cut down the
original thorn at Glastonbury, but It
hpraug tip again afterward and visi
tors to Glastonbury ruins can sou It.
Thu old story Is that Glastonbury
thorn blossoms miraculously at Christ
mas, and at no other time of the year
unless someone having royal blood In
his veins pays homage to It. It Is even
told that when tho young prince of
Wales, In November, 1010, was In
Washington and paid u visit to the St.
Albans cathedral site, the Glastonbury
thorn put out a blossohi which was
placed In a silver box and presented to
him. In accordance with the ancient
custom.
Tho modern world la skeptical and It
does not believe that there Is anythlny
peculiarly holy In a royal personage.
So If the Glastonbury thorn blossoms
out of Its regular season It Is because
It lias been encouraged to do so by
well-known horticultural incthods; and
there Is no mlrucle about It beyond the
great miracle that is always being per
formed in the blossoming of any
flower.
