A Poor Man of Mutton.

A poor man of mutton" is a term
applied to a shoulder of mutton in
Scotland after it has been served as a

indisposed at a hotel in London.

said to have so terrified poor Boniface
that he fed incontinently from the

A Very Exclusive Order.

The Order of the Swan is q unique
decoration. 1t has nothing to do with
"Lohengrin," but was founded in 1443
by Elector Frederick II. of Brandon
burg, surnamed the Iron Jawed."
OF all the orders of knighthood this
Is most remarkable, Inasmucn as only
one solitary member in Europe is en-
titled to wear it, and she is the wife
of the reigning PrIssian monarch
the German empress. The insignia is
very beautiful. 1t consists of gold
chain set with diamonds, alternated by
a ruby heart, to which is suspended a
medallion of the Madonna and Child
and to which in turn Is suspended a
silver swan surrounded by q ring or
frame of exquisite pearls. With this
goes a superb star to be worn on the
left shoulder.
Should the empress become widow
she would be compelled to relinquish
the insignia and her membership Of
the Swan to the present crown prin-
cess This order has been worn in
turn by the wife Of every sovereign
occupying the th;one Of Prussia since
1913, and it is an object of intense
pride in the royal family.

The term "greenhorn" originated In
this way: The pioneers Of the west
were much given to hunting deer. 1t
was fact known to early settlers that
when the horn of a fawn began to
grow there was a ring of green hair
around the spot. 1t was considered
disgraceful thing for hunter to kill
fawn, a cruel act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth of the
horn There was sort Of unwritten
law that no one should kill a male
fawn before its horn could be seen. A
person who was so unthoughtful as to
kill deer under the proper age was
called a "greenhorn." He was so
named because the young horn of the
deer and the hair around 1t were still
green. The use Of the appellation
gradually spread until it was applied
to all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.

TO AVOID PREMATURE BURIAL.
at Weimar-English Society
Takes Up Matter.

In England there is society whose OBJ
ject is to awaken public opinion on the
subject of premature burial and to work
for the passage of laws which will make
premature burial impossible.
Statistics have been prepared to show
that in Europe out of every 500 supposed
deaths one person is reSuscitated. AL
though members of the medical profess
sion refuse to take any interest in the
matter it is probably true, says Sugges
ton, that many persons are buried while
in a state of suspended animation.
1t is stated that in the cemetery just
outside the town of Weimar there is
special provision made against the dan
ger of premature burial from suspended
animation. No bodies are placed in the
ground until they have spent a consider
able time in a receiving vault.
In the fingers of the corpse are placed
strings which communicate with an
alarm. The least movement will ring
bell in an adjoining chamber, where
guardian is always on the watch.
In several instances by this timely
alarm persons prematurely buried have
been rescued. 1t is said that the pro-
vision arose from the tradition that one
of the princes of SAKE w eimar, this be-
ing. their family burial place, was buried
alive there.
