ABOUT PORK CHOPS.
Mr.. Gladstone Quotes the odyssey He'
garding Their Early Use.

Mr.. Gladstone Quotes the odyssey Re
garding Their Early Use.
Mr. Gladstone writes thus on the sub
ject of pork chops in Nineteenth Cent
ury: Although the question respecting
the keeping of swine and the use of
pork is by no means disposed Of, either
by the authorities quoted in the text or
by Wilkinson, / venture at this stage to
offer the following coniectu as some
what probable in themselves and not in
consistent with the evidence as a whole:
/. That in the warm climates of Egypt
and Phenicia the use Of pork was, on
sanitary grounds, reprcssed by prohibi-
tions or restricted TO particular occa-
sions . That the great thrift result
ing from the rearing and consumption
of the animal may have kept the prac-
tice extensively alive. notwithstanding
restrictive laws especially among
the classes TO whom thrift was an i'm
portant object 3. That as the pig is
useless to man during life, it is veg
difficult to its being bred and kept, as it
evidently was, except upon the suppose
ton that it was wanted for food. 4. That
if the animal. as domesticated. was
brought into Greece by Ph9nician ships,
its consumption for food may have
spread there, in colder climate, and
society free from sumptuary restraints,
and yet in IIomer's day, may not have
wholly ceased 10 be distinct mark OF
southeastern origin and associations.
) That the sialos. the carefully and
delicately fatted pig, was served as a
luxury at the tables Of the rich; while
the use Of common pork vas reserved, a.
in re cottage Of EumaiOs, for the poorer
class. Such is the evidence OF the
