From the earliest time on record Eng
land has had but five queens who ruled
in their own right. They are Mary Tudor,
Elizabeth, Mary, wife of William III;
Anne, and the present occupant OF the
throne, Victoria. The first queen, Mary
Tudor, was a daughter of Henry VIII
and Catharine of Aragon. She was born
in 1916 and died in 1868. On the death
of Henry vi, in 1853, she succeeded him.
The next year she married Philip of Spain,
but was neglected later by him. She left
no children, and recognized Elizabeth,
her sister, as her successor.
Elizabeth proved more a queen. She
was the daughter of Henry VIII and
Anne Boleyn, born in 1888, crowned in
1868, and died in 1908. She greeted the
announcement of her sovereignty with
the words: at is the Lords doings; it is
marvellous in our eyes. Her youth was
as variously affected by the smiles and
frowns of tyrannical father as her sis
ter's, and at the very moment almost of
her coming to the throne her life was in
danger from the Vaccinations of Gar
diner. But when that danger vanished
her life became one Of prosperity. 1t has
been told of her that "shs was very ma
jestic, her face oblong, fair, but wrinkled;
her eyes small, yet black and pleasant;
her hands were small. her
fingers long, and her stature neither tall
nor low; her air was stately; her manner
of speaking mild and obliging."
Her reign is written and considered one
of the most important England has
known. The @Elizabethan age is a
brilliant period in English history. and
the numerous statesmen, soldiers. schol-
ars, and others who then existed achieved
for the country place that has not been
surpassed.
Mary, daughter of James ii, next as
cended the throne. Macaulay says: Her
face was handsome and her port maies-
tic. She was born in 1862 and died in
1904. She married William, Prince Of
Orange, in 1877. The coronation was in
1889, when she was inaugurated like
king. An act which much endeared her
TO the people was the conversion Of Green
wich Palace into a retreat for seamen
disabled in their country's service. She
died of small pox and was buried with
great pomp in Westminster Abbey.
Anne, her sister and successor, was the
last member of the house of Stuart to
occupy the thorne. She was born in 1864
and died in TIA. In 1858 she married
Prince George, brother of Christian v,
king of Denmark. She bore IL children,
but only one, the Duke of Glocester, sur
vived infancy. Her reign was distin-
guished by successful wars, conspicuous
among which was the conquest of Glib
raltar. The great political event of her
time was the union of England and Scot
land in 1907. Her reign has been termed
the Augustan period of English litera-
ture, it being adorned by the writings of
Addison, Pope, Steele, Swift, and Defoe.

Marriage An .yapan.

1Your marriage laws are loose, but
don't think the question is of such grave
import as the magazines make it out to
be. Your people marry in too much Of a
hurry. They mix business principles
with their love affairs. In Japan the
principle underlying our marital relation
is that the affection which makes mar
riage happy is not the love which pre-
cedes the union, but the respect, esteem,
and sense of mutual helpfulness which
arises afterward. But this way of trying
to secure good wife by first testing her
sometimes fails. Some men marry 80 or
30 girls in trying TO get the right one.
When wife doesn't suit the husband,
he Just sends her back to her mother With
kiss and bis blessing. Then he marries
another. = from an interview with
Prince Yanasf.

Japanese sword Cut for witch ap
Ordinary Man Is Unpr~psred.

q Japanese sword Gut for which as
Ordinary Man Is Unpr~psred.
~he pictures and carvings Of Japan, as
rule, present the warriors armed with
two swords-one on each side. says a
writer in the Kansas City Star This two
sword matter is more a part of ceremony
and state than anything else.
When Japanese means business he
only needs one sword. They are not so
skillful of fence as the Europeans, but
nevertheless have a number of cuts and
slashes. which, being in their nature so
many surprises, would give swordsman
unused to their methods some little
trouble.
The first move Jap makes in a sword
fight is fraught with danger to his oppo-
nent. There are no Lreliminaries with
Jap. The fight be-, ins with him while
his blade is yet in its scabbard, and as he
draws his weapon wisdom will give him
about 40 feet of room.
Grasping the scabbard near the center
he slightly tits it so that the point of the
sword as it hangs by his side is, if any
thing, little higher than the hilt. The
sword itself is curved, very heavy, and
with its single edge as keen as 20 razors.
When he draws it streams from the
scabbard like beam of light, and as it
comes he makes prodigious step for
ward with his right foot, accompanying
the whole with a rapid circular slash
upward of the back handed sort. The
whole performance is one motion, and
rapid in its execution as thought.
Your Jap will reach man dozen
feet away, and the keen blade, starting
its work low. win split an opponent like
a mackerel. A Japanese swordsman al
ways makes this upward sweep on draw
ing his weapon, whether an enemy is in
sight or not.

An Intelligent Horse.

Many of the older residents of Fair field coHnty remember the late Dr John Warner, of New Milford and will appre- ciate this little story. When Dr War Fer was a student at Yale he used to come home Saturday night and return to New Haven Mondays. That was be- fore the days of railroads, and as stage couches did not leave New Milford Mon- day mornings for New Haven, young Warner used to mount his fathers horse and ride to Yale on horseback. There were several toll gates on the route and at each, Warner would pay the return toll for his horse. Arriving at Yale, he would affix to the bridle card bearing these words: Please not stop this horse. , The sagacious animal would jog along, invariably reaching his stall at New Mil ford all right. The toll-takers got to know the horse, and he was never inter- ruptel On Fridays the horse would be started along to New Haven, with a small pouch attached to his saddle, in which was the exact change for the tolls. Each toll-taker would take his toll, and the horse would trot along, reaching Yale ill the evening. This practice was kept up until the young doctor graduated. .-Danbury Nsws.

 LATER. Since the foregoing petition was put in type the selectmen have dis covered that some of the signatures on the original petition are forgeries. We are told that Jacob Schamerhorn de- clares that he neither signed the peti- tion nor authorized anyone to sign it for him. He is justly indignant at such use of his name and says that he will twill make 1t hot" for someone. Other parties are not as emphatic as Mir Schamerhorn is, yet it is very evident they did not sign the petition although they do not seem to object to their names being used for such purpose. Suffice to say, even counting the forged signatures there are not names enough on the petition to make it legal or compel the selectmen to include it among the articles in the warning for town meeting, therefore no vote will be taken on the license ques- tion in North Canaan next Monday.
