The Macaw and the Portrait.

While Northcote was studying paint
ing with Sir Joshua Reynolds he paint
ed the portrait OF one of the house
maids 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 in
troduced into his pictures. Between
the bird and the housemaid there was
no little hostility, as she had to clean
up after him and resented his roaming
habits. -~e.-s
When the picture was placed against
the chair ''le macaw, being in dis
tant part Cf the room, did not see it.
but on retracing its steps the bird
saw the portrait Of its enemy and. with
outsfetche,. 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 III
| the picture. AS it moved not, the bird
| marched round the picture. as If ea-
amining 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 nolse(
abroad. and Edmund Burke, DR.. John
son and Goldsmith visited Sir Joshua's
parlor to see the exhibition. What
made it the more remarkable was thai
when the macaw was tried with any
other POT trait it took no notice of TIT
