Nernet and the Princess.

An amusing incident occurred in the
career Of Horace Vernet. The Prin-
cess X, about a couple Of months after
her marriage, induced Vernet to under
take to paint her portrait, which her
husband ardently desired. Vernet set
to work, and every morning the Prince
Y. used to come to the studio. and, as
he was very much in love with his wife,
he never found the portrait fattering
enough. One day Vernet had not made
his eyes bright enough, another day the
lips were little pale. another day the
smile had not all the grace and charm
of the Princess smile. Vernet, with
the greatest patience, took note OF all
the Princes observations, asked for
time, and proceeded to idealize the por-
trait as the Prince had suggested, put
ting carmine on the lips, charm in the
smile, gold in the hair. and viyacity in
the eve. A fortnight or so later the
net, he will be satisfied. Alas, in o
grumbling tone, the Prince exclaimed:
@TLat il not my wife's portrait. 1t is
charming, charming, mon cher maitre,
and that is why it does not resemble
my wife. She never had such distinc-
tion. such beauty. Ny wife is CO.
quette, who thinks herself incompa-
rable, and you seem to me to have flat
tered her weakness at the sacrifice Of
truth" This time Vernet began to lose
patience; but, being man of the world,
he asked again for time, and employed
his evenings discovering that, in the
course Of the past fortnight, the Prince
Y. had discovered some burning letters
addressed by his wife to a young
Lieutenant, her distant relation.
Horace Nernet comprehended the sit
uation, put his foot through the canvas
and wrote to the Prince: i have just
learned the misfortune that has be-
fallen YOU. abandon MI attempts to,
paint so changeful model. The
Prince, however, Insisted upon paying
for the portrait, and Horace Nernet.
gave the proceeds to some charity -

Unconscious Bias In Walking.

Mr.. q. Fl. Darwin, in Nature, states
that some ten years ago he made few
experiments upon the subject of I'm
conscious Bias in Walking" He be-
gan by walking himself and getting
various friends to walk. with eyes shut,
in grass field. All walked with
amazing crookedness in paths which
were not far removed from circles.
Two Of the circles described were not
more than fifty yards in diameter, al
though the pedestrians thought they
were going straight. All diyerged to
the right excepting one, who was
strongly left-handed. Il then got
eight village schoolboys from 10 to II
years Of age" said Mr.. Darwin, @and
offered shilling to the boy who should
walk the straightest blindfold. Before
the contest, however, / busted some
sawdust on the ground, and, after MAX
ing each of the boys walk over it,
measured their strides from right to
left and left to right. They were also
made to hop, and the foot on which
they hopped was noted; they We're then
made to Jump over stick, and the foot
from which they sprang was entered !;
lastly, they were instructed to throw q
stone, and the hand with which they
threw was noted. Each of these tests
was applied twice over. / think they
were all right handed in throwing .
stone, but / believe that two Of them
exhibited some mark Of being partly
left handed. The six who were totally
right handed strobe longer from left to
right than from right to left, hoped
on tho left leg, and rose in jumping
from that leg. One boy pursued the
opposite course, and the last walked
irregularly, but with no average differ
ence between his strides. When /
took them into the Eeld ! made the
boys successfully take good look at q
stick at about forty yards distance, and
then blindfalded them aud started
them TO walk, guiding them straight
for the first three or ionr paces. Tie
result was that the left-legged boys all
diverged to the right, the right-legged
boys diyerged to the lett. anil the one

Mr.. Darwin believes that nine out Of
ten strongly right-handed persons are
left-legged, the reason being that every
active effort with the right hand is al
most necessarily accompanied by an
effort with the left leg, and a right
handed man is almost compelled to nse
his left leg more than the other.

We came across one farmer in Lafa-
yette last week whose grain stacks
were almost ruined by the recent
heavy rains. The stacks had been
taken apart and the grain scattered
around to dry out, but the wheat was
already black and moldy. Without
exception, the farmer in question had
the poorest constructed stacks that
have ever come under our observa-
ton.
