Curious incident of an Explosion That
Wrecked Fifty Homes.
1t happened that in the last month
Of the reign of Charles l. a certain
ship chandler of London was foolish
enough to busy himself over a barrel
Of gunpowder with lighted candle in
his hand. He paid the price of his
folly. A spark fell into the gunpow-
der, and the place was blown up.
The trouble was that the man who
did the mischief was not the only one
to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked
and the number Of people who were
killed was not known.
In one house among the fifty a moth
er had put her baby into its cradle to
sleep before the explosion occurred.
What became Of the mother no one
ever knew, but what became Of the
baby was very widely known. The
next morning there was found upon
the leads of the Church of Allhallows
young child in cradle, baby and
cradle being entirely uninjured by the
explosion that had lifted both to such
a giddy height.

was, but she was adopted by a gentle

He will remember that in the beginning
one man could not get another to
work for him at all except by just
capturing and making him slave,
forcing him from day to day to work.

that he could work. This slavery was
