=he Maeaw and the Portrait.


While Northcote was studying paint
ing with Sir Joshua Reynolds he paint
ed the portrait of one Of the housemaids
and placed the picture on the parlor
floor, resting against a chair for the
family to see it. Sir Joshua had large
macaw, which he often introduced into
his pictures Between the bird and the
housemaid there was no little hostility.
as she had to clean up after him and re-
sented his roaming habits
When the picture was placed against
the chair, the macaw, being in dis
tant part Of the room, did not see it,
but on 1etracing its steps the bird saw
the portrait of its enemy and, with out
stretched wings, furiously rushed at the
hated face and even tried to bite it.
Discovering that the face did not
move, the macaw attacked the hand in
the picture. AS it moved not, the bird
marched round the picture as if exam
lining what the thing was, and then
walked away. Again and again the
macaw repeated the advance. the at
tack and the retreat
The singular story was noised abroad,
and Edmund Burke, DR.. johnson and
Goldsmith visited Sir Joshua parlor to
see the exhibition What made it the
more remarkable was that when the
macaw was tried with any other por-
trait it took no notice of the picture. -
