 The porters of the central markets at Paris. which are the largest mar kets in the world. are called "the strong men of the markets" because of their great muscle and wonderful endurance.

70 Clean the Sink.

Every sink should be provided with a
three-cornered sieve made by covering a
metal frame with very fine wire netting.
When water is thrown into the sink it
should be turned into this sieve, which
retains every particle of solid matter,
preventing its getting into the pipes and
causing trouble. 1t is also much neater.
Each morning the sink should be thor
oughly cleaned. DISSOLVE teaspoonful
of Gold Dust washing powder in hot
water and with whisk broom wash the
basket thoroughly; then carefully scrub
every portion of the sink, pouring some
of the Tot suds down the pipe to loosen
grease that may have gathered in the trap.

The Name Of the Junufrau.

Whence does the Jungfrau derive it,
name? M. Hartman of Interlaken con.
tributes the results of his researches
% this subject to the "Feuilles d'His-
tolre Bernoise." There was, it appears,
IN the fifteenth century nunnery at
tnterlaken. The nuns owned what is
now the Wengern Alp, and was then
oenominated, out of compliment to its
proprietors, the "Jungfrauenberg," or
Mountain of the Young Women"
When a name was wanted for the
snoWpeak opposite, the Jungfrauenberg
naturally supplied it. 1t was called the

In the course Of the years, was abbrs-

EASILY KEPT AHEAD OF GRANT.

ct Long Branch, was accustomed 10
take a daily drive behind a noted
trotter.
By courtesy, although often against
his wish, he was always given a free
and open course. One day, while Jog.
Sing along, he noticed in q casual way
. farmer and his wife, who, with q
single horse and errand wagon, were
Just ahead, evidently returning from
market.
On attempting to draw alongside"
ana pass the couple, there was q race
on In q moment.
The farmer chirped in a peculiar
way and his horse squatted into lone
gated and easy trot. Altogether Il
was a veritable surprise to the other
ariver; with his professional trotter"
and Light road wagon. But the farmer
Kept the lead in spite Of Gen. Grants
sSorts to overtaks him.
