The late Sir Frederick leighton
was exceedingly kind to poor students.
On one occasion a young fellow came
up to London, hoping TO make money
with his brush. He soon found that
it was no easy matter, and in despair
wrote to the president of the academy
stating his case and forwarding some
specimens of his work. Sir Frederick
invited him to his home, gave him two
letters of introduction to people who
would serve him, and advised him to
study. AS the young man was leaving
Sir Frederick gave him another letter.

Prehistoric Swords.

In the early ages, before men knew
anything about civilized ways, they
lived in caves and had to protect them
selves not only from the attacks of
animals, but those of their human
brothers as we'll. The first weapon
their unaccustomed fingers shaped was
war-club. Experience, however,
soon taught them that deadler blow
might be delivered with weapon that
would cut rather than crush, and they
made a Ratchet Then, one day,
some one discovered n substance in
the secret stores of the good brown
earth on which he finally learned to
put q kneener edge than he had ever
been able to chip on his stone Ratchet,
and the sword was made. From the
remains discovered in tombs and bar
rows, or mounds, we know that these
savage races gained certain degree
of skill in fashiOning bronze and iron
sword blades. And from the care
with which it is evident that their
bodies had been buried, we infer that
they are the remains of chieftains and
men of consequence, and that they
esteemed their swords most honorable
and perhaps useful companions in
the long journey to the world beyond.

Black lead is sometimes put in to give

to the sitter, which sorts them, and
takes out the imperfect tacks, leaving
the good ones TO be passed on and
