The man who sat for the portrait
of Wilkins Micawber is living in thii
city, and a very interesting old gen.
tie man be is. His name is Thomas
Powell and be was born in London,
way back in 1907. He early devel.
oped strong literary tastes and became
q constant contributor to the maya
zines and reviews. At twenty nine
he published his first book, a volume
of poems, and this heads long list
of works, which occupies about half a

How Weapons first came to be
Employed.

The idea of employing weapons foT
assault or defense was a logical result
OF the first contests that took place
between man and nan. n. these
contests the strongest mar with his
native Weapons-his 6sts-was IN
consciously the father of all sruos
and all armed strength, for his
weaker Antagonist would early seek
to restore the balance of power by the
use of some sort Of weapon. The
shorter armed man heightened his
striking power by the use of a stick.
and found, after time, the help its
leverage and weight afforded him
The hrst case Ia which the chance
selected, hesyy-ended staff or cluh
showed that weight or hardness had
lts value, was frat step toward fur
nlsaing it with a strong head. Hence
the blew of the fist was the forerun--
ner Of the crushing weapon. In ths
same way the pointed stick became
the lance or the dagger; and the
thrown shaft, helped, as knowledge
increased, by the bow or throwing
stick, was the precursor of the dart
aud arrow. The character Of the.
first weapons was largely determined
BY the nature Of the materials from
which they we're derived, and their
shape partly from this and partly
oy copying the forms of the weapons
possessed by the animals the primitive
men slew. Hence arises the general
imilarity IN character and shape OF
ne earliest tools from all parts of the

Professor Linden said good word
the other day at Buffalo for that much
prosecuted bird, the common crow. The
crow Of America belongs to scattered
family Of about two hundred species, in.
GLIDING among them the buzzard, Jay,
raven and magpie. OF the genus proper
TO which the crow belongs, seven exam
pies IRE found in the United States, the
great black raven being at the head. In
the wilderness about one hundred miles
from Buffalo, on the shores of Lake On
tario, ravens were found Their nests
were 50 secluded as rarely to BIO discov-
cred. So wary were the birds that Mr.,
Linden had found il impossible 10 OBJ
tain q specimen. They were reported
more abundant on the Canada shore Of
Lake Ontario, but II was impossible to
procure specimen even there, though q
liberal reward had been offered
Tho crow was only preserved from an
Inhalation by its great cunning. Even in
captivity the bird displays degree Of
sagacity which almost resembles human
intelligence. Mr.. Linden admitted that
the crow could hardly be called sweet
singer; still when tanned he made very
interesting pet. On the whole, he might
safely be set down as u useful bird and
n real friend OF the farmer He eats
large quantities Of noxious insects. and
though he has bad habit Of pulling up
young tender shoots Of grain, 10 was u
question whether tho damage was not
more than compensated by the number
