vNcRownED ENGLISH QUEENS.

No Less Than seven Missed the
Honor Of . Coronation.
AS a rule, most English queens have
been solemnly crowned, whether they
feigned In their own right or as wives
OF royal husbands. To this rule, now
ever, there are seven exceptions.
The first was Margaret OF france
the young. plain, amiable second vile
Of Edward /. He had spent so mucn
money in conquering Wales and IN
trying to conquer Scotland that ne
could not afford the expenses Oh
coronation for his girl bride, n sne
had to do without the splendors OF the
pageant.
King Henry VIII took care thai
Anne Boleyn should be crowned win
extreme magnifcence. He desired 10
show the world how much he loved
her and how very much he deied the
bishop of Rome.
The four wives who succeeded her
were never crowned at all. Fol one
thing, money ran short, and, for an
other, there may have lurked, even ~
ehis masterful mind, a OF the
fitness of things: which may have
caused him to shrink from puDllcly5
browning SO many ladies in such very
rapid succession. 3
At any. rate the beloved Jane Sey-
mour, the despised Anne Of Cleves.
the girlish Catherine Howard and the
wary Catherine Parr were never con-
secrated in public as qu~een-consorts Of
England.
Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles !,
refused to be crowned. , She was
young, she was pretty, she was a
French princess, and she declined to
take part in a state function, which
would compel her to partake OF the
sacrament according to church OF
England rites.
Sophia Dorothea Of Zell cannot be
feckoned among the seven, because
she was never called queen OF Eng
land at all. While George I was be-
ing crowned, and Amounted, and
bored, the lady of Ahlden was pining
N her long, monotonous captivity.
Caroline of Brunswick is the last,
and most remarkable. instance of the
uncrowned English queens. Though.
George w had been forced from popu-
lar indignation to give up the bill Of
pains and penalties against, her, moth
ing would induce him to let her share
his coronation. She was not permitted
to be present in Westminster Abbey
vt all.
Repulsed from all the entrances, she
returned to her house, to die within
three weeks Of a violent fever,
brought on by months Of fearful ex-
citement.-Lady's Pictorial.

little studied, though 1t is evidently
of great importance. The observations
that have been made have shown the
evaporation to be comparatively great
and surprisingly uneven. Why n
egg should evaporate so per cent more
water than another Is hard to under
stand. The Rhode Island station In
one Of its reports on this matter says:
The average weight Of the three eggs
from which goslings were Matched wal
6.0053 OF. at the beginning of tncuba'
ton, and the average weight OF the
goslings when Matched was 3.8913 o.,
showing an average loss of 2.114 OF.
during incubation. The individual
losses were as follows: Egg No. 4 lost
in Matching 1887 o.; egg No. 6 lost
2.1719 o., and egg No. z lost 2.1875 OF.
The gosling from egg No. 4 was the
only vigorous one, but whether the
smaller amount of evaporation from
that egg had any relation to the vigor
Of the gosling we cannot say.

Poultry Briefs.

The time when eggs are scarcest Is
the two months from December first
to February first. To get eggs at this
time is a problem. Yet 1t can be
done; for some men do it. Mr.: Henry
T. Reed of Adams County, Illinois,
writing to The Farmers Review on the
subject says: During the last TWEEN
ty years I have bred twelve varieties
Of standard fowls. The Light Brah.
mas have produced more eggs for me
from December first to February first
than any other variety. am certain
that the production Of eggs in winter
can be greatly increased by proper
stock and feeding. The good results
from any flock of fowls come entirely
from proper care and handling"
A man just going into the poultry
business has to decide whether he
will rear birds for market (meatl or
for sale as breeders. 1t is difficult to
combine the two in q small plant. One
man will make the most money sup.
plying eggs and meat to a steady mar.
ket; another will do better catering to
breeders. Some Of the items, that lead
to success are pointed out by Mr.. F.
A. Edgeworth of Du Page County, Hi.
nQis, who writes us as follows: 81
find the most profit in raising and sell
ing birds for breeding, and in produc.
ing eggs to be sold to breeders. al.
though l do not overlook the good mar
ket qualities in the breed l am hand.
ling. l always manage to ship all
I can at the al when prices are
good, and l have always made a good
profit on whatever l have Sold"
We have but begun to study the fer.
tility of eggs as influenced by guam.
tity laid and by the time Of year. We
will doubtless find that the larger the
number of eggs dropped by a hen the
less likely are they to be fertile. The
moult also will doubtless be found to
be a factor entering into the question.
James K. Page of Vermilion County,
Illinois, in a communication to The
Farmers Review. says: my expe-
rience with eggs laid by hens that
have gone through the moult and have
commenced laying in the fall and ear
ly winter and that have continued
through the winter, is that they are
more fertile in the fall and early win.
ter than in the latter part Of the win
ter and spring. On the other hand. a
hen that does not commence to lay
till the latter part Of winter and early
spring drops eggs that are as fertile
then as are those laid in the fall"
This is a matter of vital interest to
the men that start incubators in the
fall. as they must depend on fall-laid
eggs!
