It is a very difficult problem TO ascer-

be used as substitute for cordite or

Snch could not be the case, however as
the explosion takes place SO rapidly

Probably one of the greatest advan-
tages of lyddite is its absolute safety To

recall its use in the arts for over a cen
fury without its powers being even sus-
pected. In this respect. combined with
its snperlative destructive capacities.
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive

SUNDAY IN ENGLAND IN 1850.
The Pleasure Seekers Were More

The Pleasure Seekers Were More

Would you like to know how the peo-
pie Of London observed their Sunday

of course. and there were two services
in every one. and in some there were
three; also the responsible and respect
able citizen took his family to church,
as a matter of course.
He made his apprentices go to church
IS well and demanded the text when
they came home as proof of attend
ance. Alas, he little knew that the
boys were larking all the morning. and
when the congregation came out stop
ped the old womol and got the text
from them
However, those who went elsewhere
formed the majority. The fields round
the town were filled with companies Of
men, called rural societies. who ram
bled about all the morning and dined
together at a tavern. The high consta-
bles went their rounds among the vii
lagos pretending to prevent proclamation
of the day, but they were squared by
the publicans.
Informers were about threatening
publicans. BARRIERS and greengrocers for
carrying ON trade on the Sunday morn
ing unless they paid little blackmail.
A shilling was understood to meet the
case BARRIERS sent their apprentices on
Sunday morning to shave the prisoners
in the Fleet for nothing, SO that they
might get practice.
Children were baptized after after
noon service. and a supper was given
afterward to celebrate the occasion. At
this supper the nurse, it was allowed,
could blamelessly get drunk.
The beadles of churches were bribed
by beggars to let them sit on the steps
and ask charity of the congregation
coming out. 1t was the best business of
the week The rails before the houses
of gentlemen were crowded with beg
gars.
When the ladies got home after
church. they did not disdain to slap
their servant if dinner was delayed.
The fields between the Tottenham court
road and the Founding hospital were
the resort of the sporting fraternity,
who were assembled to enjoy the inno-
cent diversions of duck hunting and
cat hunting, with prizefighting quar-
terstaff. wrestling and other sports.
The pleasure gardens were open all
day long. People crowded to them in
the early morning fol- breakfast aud
staid all day. At . there was an ordi-
nary, in the afternoon and evening an
organ recital; there was tea in the al
coves, and in the evening there was
supper.
In the evening, when they reluctant
ly came away. with as much punch al
they could hold, they formed them
selves into bands for purposes Of pro-
lection, while the footpads looked out
ON the road for single passengers, or,
haply, drunken passengers, whom it was
easy and a pleasure to rob.
