SWIFT'S "STELLA"

Esther johnson. the "Stella" im,nor-
talized by Jonathan Swift, whose
love affair with the great
satirist has been the subject of many
conjectures, was born in Surrey 236
years ago today, March 10, 1851.
Esther Johnson had been, like Swift, a
dependent Of Sir William Temple, and
when he occupied the vicarage of
Larecor, in Ireland, Esther Johnson
soon Joined him. While leading his
stella to believe that he was about
to marry her, Swift carried on a cor
respondence with his "Varina," a Miss
Waring, and permitted his 'eVanessa, %
who was Esther Vanhomrigh, to be-
come violently infatuated with him.
When he accepted the deanery of st.
Patrfck's Cathedral in Dublin he was
trifling with the affections of both
young women. At length, in 1716, he
consented to a secret marriage with
Stella, on condition that it should new
er be made known. In the meantime
he wrote his best verses, in the guise
of faithful lover,f to Miss vanhom-
RICH. In 1928 Van ssa learned of her
lovers duplfcity, ahd when Swift, en-
ragged, broke off his relations with
her, she soon died Of a broken heart.
Stella, heart-starved by the Deans
treatment, soon followed Vanessa to
the grave.

EXECUTION OF NEy.

OO~e~A>~
At nine o'clock in the morning the
Marshall was informed that all was
ready for execution Of his sentence
he put on blue coat and a round
hat and entered the hackney coach

Michael: the curate of st. Sulp1ce oc-
cupied the back seat OF the coach

armerie were in front-a great num-
Der Of veterans and royal grenadlers
were in front and accompanied the
ceremony, which crossed the garden OF
the palace and left it by the iron
gate on the side of the Observato1re;
on arriving at this gate. the ceremony
turned to the left and stopped about
fiftt PAGES further under the walls OF
the Observatoire.
The Marshal descended from the
coach, advanced at quick pace ABOUT
eight PAGES from the wall, and asked
the officers at his side If that was the
place chosen for his execution; on
receiving an answer In the afnrmatlVe

82-POuND PICIS
SOLD IN GERMANY
FOR SUM OF 5000
Food Scarcity Makes Young
Mother Kill Babes Suffer
ing for Nourishment.

Rome, March 13.-Schleswig-H ol-
stein is the German province which
bears the record price obtained for
the humble pig. One by a rich Ham
burg merchant for the price of 500
marks $4,000.
People in Keil and Hamburg, who
have made much money out Of the
war, go off in their cars, seeking
whatever food there is to be found as
far as the villages Of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, and with large sums manage
to get food denied to smaller purses.
The country between Kiel and
hamburg Is now the favorite resort
f rich food-hunters, so that the peas
ants who still have a few pigs left
are making fortunes.
The buyer of the 82-pound pig saw
it hanging from the rafters of a small
farm kitchen at Bordesholm. The
farmers wife at first refused to sell
it, saying that 1t was for her husband,
who had bad health and could not
eat the ordinary food obtainable.
But when the stranger produced
his 500 mark bills the temptation was
too strong He got the pig.
A Swiss governess who had been in
a rich Hungarian family for some
years was recently sent away because
the family found it so hard to get
proper food. She says that riots have
taken place in all the Hungarian CT
ties owing to food shortage.
The women are the most trouble
some for the police; the men are far
more inclined to be patient, but wo-
men cant bear to see their children
go hungry.
Hungarians are much inconvenien-
ced by the lack of paprika, the red
pepper which goes into every dish.
Before the war it was their boast that
paprika was a purely Hungarian pro-
duction.
But now it appears that most Of the
so-called Hungarian paprika came
from abroad, especially Serbia, Italy,
Spain and Asia Minor. Hungarians
grumble more about the lack of this
condiment than of flour shortage. The
government is blamed for letting the
small amount of homegrown paprika
go into Germany and Austria
Infanticide has increased terribly in
Vienna. Two trials lately excited vi
ennese opinion greatly, for both the
accused were young mothers who had
killed their babies because they could
not afford to pay high food prices for
them and said it was better to kill
them at once that let them die a lin

He placed her in a house Of ILL

he ould visit the girl and obtain
her earnings, returning to Bridgeport
with the money. The girl refused to
stay in Holyoke. and on her arrival in
Bridgeport was forced by fiesta to
visit cafes and solicit men.
Her brother took i'll and she refused
to turn over the proceeds Of Illicit

the money to defray the expenses Of
her brothers medical treatment. Fes-

Bridgeport and threatened her with
gun. She picked up the weapon
from a chair and shot him through

recovered from his wound.

TEA IN ENGLAND.

Premier Lloyd Georges restriction
on the Importation of tea has aroused
more protests in England than all
other prohibitions combined, although
it would now seem that there Is no
immediate danger Of serious short
age in the supply of the Englishmen's
fayorite beverage. The complete pro-
hibition applies only to foreign teas,
and importations from India and Cey-
lon will continue, although on re-
duced scale. Unless conditions i'm
prove speedily the people of England,
Scotland and Ireland may have to be
very economical in the use of the mar
cotic, and they will derive scant sat
isfaction from the assurances of ply
sicians that they will be better off
without it.
1t was about two and half CEN
turtles ago that tea was introduced in
to England and it's use spread rapid
ly among the Weather classes, but
the poor used it only for medical
purposes until the last century, when
it's consumption became almost uni
versal. When the blessed herb" was
first introduced into Finland in the
middle of the seventeenth century it
was advertised as a sort of cure-all
for all diseases, including headache,
giddiness, liver complaints, obstruc-
tons of the spleen, stone and gravel,
eye diseases, "hppitude Installations"
lassitude, ''crudities,, corpulence, dys-
pepsia, "superfluous Sleep" agues, fe-
vers, consumptions, colds, dropsies,
scurvies and host of other ailments.
It was also asserted, that it wan
uisheth heavy dreams, easeth the
brain, and strengthened the mem
ory.' One such advertisement, pub
1ished in London in 1858, states that
cit hath been sold in the leaf for six
pounds, and sometimes for ten
pounds, the podnd-weiht; and in re-
spect of its former scarceness and

tertainments, and presents made
thereof to princes and grandees, till

sixteen to fifty shillings per pound
Soon after that tea houses were open

quented by ladies as well as by men,
they soon gained an evil reputation
and were denounced as abodes OK i'm
morality.

FONTAINE

"Inspfred Idiot" the sobriquet be-
slowed upon Goldsmith, was even
more deserved by Jean de la ron

genius who ranks among the greatest
fabulists Of all time. Fontaine dled

last he was as naive, improvement,
reckless and good hearted as child.
He did not know the meaning OF re-
sponsibility, and deserted wife ano

have abandoned cat He was the
son Of a MAGISTRATE, and in his youth
proposed to become priest, out
abandoned that project after eighteen
months in a seminary, and Thereafter
for several years led an idle and dis
sipated life. His early efforts as poet
and dramatist were of little worth,
and It was not until he was forty-four
that he gained fame with his "Contes
pour rire"-tales for laughter
were very amusing, although in these
days considered highly immoral.
Perhaps it is as much for the latter
quality, as because Of their literary
merit, that they are still widely read

between 1868 and 1894, the last book

work that will always rank as a great
classic LaFontaine was for many
wears under the protection OF the
Duchess Of Bouillon, and it was for
ha6 that he wrote his ScandalOuSly

active society, declared that she had
dismissed all her people except her
cat, her dog, and La Fontaine." She

election to the Academy Of France. In
spite OF his profligate life. he died
as calmly and cheerfuIly as child,
and the nurse cried, as she closed his
eyes for his last long sleep, "God will
never have the heart to damn him."
His body was laid to rest in the ceme-
