Health of body and the resulting elasticity of mind are of supreme importance to everyone living under the strenuous conditions of modern times . The person who is " out of sorts , " " off colour , " or " below par " is not in a condition to make the most of life . Now , the necessity of keeping the organs of digestion in a thoroughly clean and active state can never be too strongly emphasised , since they are the channels through which the body receives its nourish- ment .

BY OUR LONDON CONSFONDANT We do not hold ourselves responsible for all the opinions expressed by the able writer of those noted . பபாடும் im- The Prince of Wales had an appropriately enthusiastic welcome when he went down to Lambeth to lay the foundation - stone of St. Anselm's Church . South London was , in deed , rather proud of itself at being the venue of his Royal Highness's first public ceremony . Cheers resounded as the young Prince . drove an open carriage from Buckingham Palace , in an having arrived from Oxford in time for lunch , and his gratification was obvious . Very pressive was the service , opening with " O God , our help in ages past . " The King he's given £ 1,000 towards this church , and the jame amount has been given by the Prince himself .. The Duchy of Cornwall estate , on which the new building will stand , is being rapidly transformed , and expressions of grati- tude at the manner in which the Prince inter prets his duties as a landlord are very general among the tenants . There is no doubt about the success of his first public function , but it is understood that the King and Queen are not desirous that his Royal Highness should interfere with his studies by undertaking many public appearances of this kind for a few years . within Londoners of an optimistic turn of mind are persuading themselves that summer has arrived at last , and that blue skies and bright sunshine will henceforth be the rule . Reports of a heat - wave in New York go to confirm the hope , in spite of a remarkable outburst of meteorological militancy on Sunday . The storm which then burst over Central and South London was probably the most severe disturbance of the kind living memory . In addition to the killing of six people , the maiming of an equal number , and the damaging of several churches , the storm inflicted a number of minor injuries on houses in all parts of the affected areas . The ferocity of the storm was suggestive of a tropical country , and it came on with such disconcerting suddenness that persons in ' open spaces had no chance of escape . The weather promises well for Marlow on Satur- day . This will be the opening of the first- class regatta season , and entries , I am told , promise well . The revival of the Publie Schools Challenge Cup , for which there are seven competitors , is an interesting feature- of the programme . Marlow was formerly the last regatta of the season , but last year it . was moved to June , and the change proved . entirely successful . PERSONAL GOSSIP .

" When the psychologieat moment Martived , however , self with basking in the Queen's smile and her courage failed her , and she contented her making the lowest of obeisances . In fact , the Queen's smile so disarmed her that , I hear , she has considerably modified her militant attitude since then King's Birthday in Dublin . celebrated in Dublin by a review in the The King's Birthday on the 22nd will be Phoenix Park , conducted by General Bir Arthur Paget , Commander - in - Chief of the Forces in Ireland , writes a correspondent of the Daily Graphic .

One woman whom he has an only son and heir . chained herself to a plank which connected rows of chairs . A saw was fetched , and whilst the organist and the choir were proceeding with the anthem the plank was sawn in halves . The woman screamed all the time , and other women near her tried to hinder the work of her removal , and also began to howl . For some minutes there was pandemonium . Chairs were upset and women yelled at the top of their voices . Two women flung them- The Grand Duke Michael is one of the best - known figures in English society , he and his wife , the Countess Torby , having made their home in this country now for over twenty years .

Friends of the Royal Family . their cause selves on the floor and kicked and struck out at everyone Some members of the congrega- tion helped vigorously in the work of remov- ing the women , and two of the disturbers were literally pulled by their necks over the tops of the chairs and put into the street . Eventually the woman who had chained herself down was removed , with the chain and the chair still Axod to her . was considerably dis- hevelled . Some . of the other women who were removed were by no means gently handled by She BOMB IN WEST - END CHURCH . TERRIFIC STORM . KILLED BY LIGHTNING . CHILD VICTIMS . A thunderstorm of almost unparalleled violence swept across South London on Sun- day afternoon , doing widespread damage , and causing the loss of seven lives . It The storm was amazing in many ways . appears to have taken a path stretching from the east right across the southern suburbs of the district inmediately around Lewisham in London , in a south - westerly direction , and up the Thames Valley . North , London escaped almost entirely , and while places like Tulse Hill , Streatham , and Norbury felt the full force of the storm , Purley , just the other side of Croydon , was not touched . In addition to the strange definiteness of the path it took , the storm was marked by its duration , the immense quantities of rain and hail which fell , and the vividness of the lightning . From about half past twelve , after a morning of brilliant sunshine , till about four o'clock , the places affected were practi- cally under , water . Surface water drains were unable to take the sudden strain , and within half an hour of the storm beginning roads were running like rivers and houses were being flooded , and traffic was held up at dozens of places . Hundreds of thousands of people coming home from church , walking in the parks , or picnicking up the river , were caught in the houses were struck by lightning , and whole downpour and drenched to the skin . Many sale damage was done in the gardens and greenhouses by the rain and hail . In the Royal Family of this country the Grand Duke and his Countess have always found warm friends . They were great fav- ourites with Queen Victoria ; who pleaded Mrs. Annie Besant has no reason to com- more than once with the late has Czar , but without result .
