(incinnati's Nickname.

The nickname of Porkopolis is of Eng
lish origin, and was the brilliant inspira-
ton of a sponsor who never saw Cincin-
natl. In the year 1925 there fourished
in the Queen City gentleman named
jones'. He was the president of the
United States Branch bank, and was
locally known as Bank Jones. The pork
trade had already taken such proportions
as to rouse the financial enthusiasm of
Bank Jones, and in succession Of let
tiers he diated upon the prosperity of
pork prospects of the Queen City. The
letters were addressed to the Liverpool
correspondent of the Cincinnati bank
and this gentlemap's imagination at
length became fred by Bank Jones'
enthusiasm. In u moment of wild gen.
crosby he hied him to the studio of some
Livcrpudian Thorwaldsen, and ordered
the construction of what Is set down in
the annals as "a unique pair of model
hogs" These noble effigles were made
OF papier mache, and were sent out to
Cincinnati as present. accompanied by
the inscription destined in part at least
to become famous-"To Mr.. George w.
Jones, as the worthy representative of
PUrkopolis." The hogs have still local
habtation and name. They add to the
burden of life in the Office of Que of the
largest "slaughterers" of Cincinnati.

that ''no cake could taste better" Tue
bread was made of whole wheat -four,
stirred up with nothing but water, and
baked in gem irons. 1t was spead with
creamy butter, and think any one is to
be pitied who would not like the taste of
such gems and such butter. Thorough
chewing adds to the pleasure of the sense
of taste, this sense resides in the tongue,
and 10 the soft palate and its arches. One
common way of abusing the sense of
taste is, by eating fast with very slight
chewing, so that the food is not retained
in the mouth long enough to give the
nerves of taste chance to fairly taste
the quality Of the food eaten. But for
this rapid eating and washing down with
agreeably favored drinks, much that is
eaten would be rejected as either bitter
or tasteless. American Agriculturalist.

The Torch as a Factor In Trade.
Readers of the daily papers have, I'M
doubtedly, noted the frequency of incen-
diary fires within the past two months
throughout the country. a pretty large
fraction of all the fires embraced within
this period unquestionably originated
from the application of the torch. Inc
usual incentive for such fires is, undoubt-
edly, revenge, but there are motives pro-
eeeding from emotions less honest than
revenge.
A new ssplant'' is advisable, fresh
stock would be desirable, dingy store
house must be replaced, old stocks rest
quietly on the shelves. Careful inven-
tories are taken, bills are filed away as
vouchers, and, should fire happen, there
is proof of loss. The fire is on time, and
the building is found afire in such way
as to give the fire department abundant
occupation. The accessories to perfect
blaze are simple. Kerosene plays con-
spicuOus part.
The policies are paid, and the victim,
who has the sympathy of the community,
opens out anew in all the splendor of an
elegant new building, or at least with
fresh stock. There is a remedy for this
kind of enterprise Insurance compa-
MES owe it to their stockholders and plod.

Senator Conger has powerful mind
that can learn all from one. He reasons
with unerring facility from free lumber to
free iron and steel, free blankets, free tin
plates, free glass, free earthen ware, free
clothing and free quinine. 1t is charac-
teristic of powerful intellects to. be able
to change opinions. Gladstone started
as protectionist, and is now I'M
assailable in his adherence to the
opposite system. Peel, who overthrow the
starvation corn laws in 1916, was the
leader in defending them in 1912. Con-
sistency, SAYS Emerson, is the bugbear of
small minds. COnger has not a small
mind. He will no longer help the greedy

Now this apparently firmly established
feature of Republican policy is not merely
ungenerous, but ridiculous and suicidal.
1t is an illustration of ''biting your nose

Leans lose sight altogether Of what ought
to- be and is sufficiently self-evident fact
that any and all assistance rendered the
South in developing its matchless natural

be returned to the North a hundred fold in
the shape of increased trade, taxable
property, etc. 1t is really only ''taking

A correspondent of the New York
Herald in the South, while he found the
people of South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi in favor of low
tariff, says that the sentiment in favor of
protective duties is very strong in Vir-
ginia. The Readiusters declare themselves
plainly in favor of that policy, and there
are many radical protectiOnists among
the Democrats. The idea seems to be
quite prevalent that only by continuing
that policy can the resources of Virginia
be fully developed. And ifthis correspond
ent Is to be credited, the sentiment is
growing stronger. FOR instance, Malone
wanted a duty of 81 per ton on iron ore,
and threatens to vote against any bill that
does not accommodate him. A thrifty
statesman is William.

Suppose Congress let's the session eX-
pire without coming to any head on the
tariff. And suppose, as some folks pre-
tend to believe he will, the President calls
an extra session of the new Congress, with
a view to remedy the legislative defect.
We have no more idea that anything more
will be done in an extra session than i'll
the present one. All that the tariff is good
for is to cover the foot ball with which the
two political parties like to kick.

The average reduction proposed by the
tariff thinkers Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee upon iron, steel, nails, clothing,
blankets, glass, carpets, crOckery, salt,
paints and chemicals is barely per cent.
On a large number of articles the tax has
been greatly ncreased-dOubled in some
instances to pacify greedy interests. This
sort of tariff revision is not going to satisfy
the country, and it viii be poor material
for the Republicans to carry into coming
elections. However, working men should

Pig iron kelley's kindness, to be placed

The statistician of Massachusetts, Colo
mel Carroll ID. Wright, tells us that there
are 10000 working women in Boston over
fifteen years of age; that their average
earnings are four dollars per week, and
their board, and poor at that, averages
three dollars and half per week. Any
body can see what a scant margin the
poor working women have left. By buy
ing in small quantities they have to pay
at the rate of twenty dollars a ton for
coal, five dollars pound for tea, and one
dollar pound for sugar. Now" remarks
the Boston Star, 'there ought to
be remedy for this sort
of eXtOrtion and oppression
somewhere. Otherwise we may as
well stop sending abroad missionaries and
bibles. We are appealed to, in one form

woI4en who, ON four dollars week, have
