THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS.
q "a HEN Scrooge awoke, it was so
CO.. dark, that looking out Of bed,
" he could scarcely distinguish the
transparent window from the
opaaue walls of the chamber. He was en-
deavoring to pierce the darkness with
his ferret eyes, when the chimes of a
neighboring church struck the four quar-
ters. So he listened for the hour.
To his great astonishment the heavy
bell went on from six to seven, and from
seven to eight, and regularly up to
twelve; then stopped. Twelve! 1t was
past two when he went to bed. The clock
was wrong. An icicle must have got into

the necessity of an embarrassing explain

quite used to it.

the Ghost.

Attempts to develop a larger market

the fact that practically all the cheese
now consumed is eaten as purchased.
A very large proportion of it is used
with bread or as a filing for sand

is consumed in large quantities.. d.

they urge its use In greater variety

HONOR MEMORY OF WOMEN
MANY Places of Prominence Named for
Distinguished Members of the
Weaker Sex.

Many geographical names have been
given places to honor the memory OF
women. Thus 1t is that Elizabeth, N.
j.. was named to honor one OF Eng
lands queens, while Virginia was
named to honor the virgin monarch.
Maryland preserves the name of the
queen Of Charles I. The Naval acad-
envy at Annapolis does honor to
Queen Anne.
The English were particularly gen.
erous In comforting names Of women
on places. In Australia the late Queen
Victoria is honored In two provinces,
Queensland and Victoria, while tho
most beautiful city In that common
wealth, Adelaide was named in mem
DRY of the queen of William Nv OF
England. The province Of Alberta, In
Canada, was named for Princess
Louise Alberta. daughter Of Queen
Victoria, and wife of the marquis OF
Canada In 1882. The largest lake in
Africa Is Victoria Nyanza, and Vic
toria falls were named for Queen Vic
toria. as was also the capital OF the
province of British Columbia, Canada.
The island Of st. Helena was named
after the mother of Constantine the
Great who also gave name to her
birthplace, Helenopolis. The French
were especially prone to honor the
holy women OF their race, and Sault
Ste. Marie and other points In Canada,

who reported her experience to the

of these pests undermined her garden,

couraged the average woman; 1t didn't
