An English Luncheon.

On one such occasion saw company of poets. philosophers and fanatics at ta- ble presided over by a young lady, the daughter of the house. Isat there wiping my forehead (they do the eating, the perspiring) as saw slices of beef disap- bearing with vegetables, mustard, etc. The host then asked me what thought of thefood and the mode of eating. replied instinctively, Ut is horribler' This reply set hegentlemen roaring and my hostess blushing.
 How can little stomach hold such an enormous lunch? Even women and chil- dren take large quantities What vital ity these people have, to be surei The waste of vitality in their climate and under their conditions of life must be enormous. It has of course to be replaced. -'An Indian Eye on English Life" by Behramji Malabrai.

THE BATTLE.

After the hattle-pescel But for some men The battle lasts till death: all efforts lead In these to grief and bitterness; and when Unconquered, though they fall and faint and
 bleed,
 Their souls are mettled for some blacker strife. They struggle bravely for an inch of life. These are the hapless ones-or so we deem Our brothers ho must either fight or die Yet he that ever swsm an angry stream And reached firm shore knows more than you

 If we are joyous in unrufiied days That hope which grows from grief and struggle
 stays
 They are not hapless. In their heart of hearts They know the deepest faith that life can give. Their living is no playing of old parts. In the wide wisdom of the gods they live, For they have conquered where the millions

 Their ship of life Is stronger for the gale -George E. Montgomery in New York Times-

 Jan Is-His Life Work.
 PHILApELPHIA, Feb. 3--George W. Childs died at 3:01 o'clock this morning. The change for the worse came about 10 o'clock last night when there was a morbid em harrassment of the respiration, and after midnight 1t was noticed that his pulse wal Tagging. This sudden change was a most painful surprise to Mr. Childs' friends In the morning his physicians announced that he had passed comfortable night and that his condition was much improved. Later in the day it was announced that his con. dition was unchanged. From the fact that the patient had made such hard battle against what a few days ago had been re garded ss a hopeless case many of his friends had almost come to believe that after all be would be able to pull through and was already on the road to recovery. The news of his death spread like wildfire to all parts of the city early this morning, and today it is the theme of almost uni versal conversation and a source of great est sorrow.
 There were present at Mir. Childs' bed side when he died George c. Thomas and James w. Paul of the firm of Drexel & Co, MT. and Mrs. John Drexel, Miss Pc terson, niece of Mrs. Childs: Miss Stanley, companion of Mira Childs, and Colonel Ed ward de Morrell
 His Last IlnssA.
 MT. Childs' last illness began with a fainting spell, which seized him while he was in his office in The Ledger building at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Thurday, Jan. IS, just as he was putting on his over coat preparatory to going to his home at Twenty-second and Walnut streeta He was alone at the time, and when an at tendan. who heard him fall reached his side he was totally unconscious Dr. Da Costa, his family physician, was hastily summoned, and ressorstives were applied with the result that in an hour the patient was able to walk, with the assistance of two strong men, to his carriage, which stood at the door. He was conveyed to his city home, and Mrs. Childs, who was at the country place in Wooton, was sum- moned-
 Dr. Da Costa called in Ora Lydy and Morris, and these three issued . statement that MT. Childs' illness was nothing more chan an attack of vertigo arising from in- digestion, from which he would soon re- cover.
 The news of his illness brought hosts of inquiring friends from this city to the door and hundreds of anxious inquiries by mail and telegraph from those abroad. To all was given the assurance that MT. Childs

Prince of Wales, Bracelet.

It is probably not generally known that the Prince of Wales wears a brace let on his left wrist. On a recent occa- sion when he appeared in public the gleam of the golden bangle was noticed by very few individuals, and among those who noticed it there was an inter change of wondering glances. The wear ing of the bracelet is not, however, fcp- pishness on the part of his royal high ness, for the bangle has a history. It belonged originally to Msximilian, the ill fated emperor of Mexico. and it is a cherished possession of the prince's.- London Tt-Bits.
