HORSES IN MOTION. STANFORD SPENT $40,000 IN DEMON« STRATING HIS THEORY. The Sam Used Ia Picturing the Movement of a Galloping Race Horse—A Knowl edge That Convinced a Great Palnter of His Errver Mr. Stanford, of California, has a por- trait of himself by Meissonier, painted in Paris when the senator was there a few yoars back. The price was $10,000. It is not considered to be a good literal likeness, and very few portraits of Americans by French are. That intution for truth and the habit of getting at it, which portrait painters of the tritish and American schools possess, the French gives way to his artistic dispositions; he is always searching I something which shall improve one’s nature. Stanford gave Meissonier a good many sittings, about three hours for each. A curious incident happened with reference to one of the most celebrated pictures of the artist, He had painted for Mr, Stewart, of New York, the dry goods man, one of his largest and most impressive piotures—a bat- tle scene, where Napoleon is sending in his Guards, and as they go past him they all salute him. Mr. Stanford had spent $40. (00 in photographing horses in motion. Ie observed, among other things, that when horses were in rapid motion, or galloping, pever struck on their toes, but on their heels firmly, because they would havo fallen He observed that officer, whose iw wi and broken their necks figure of the saber is up in wie way that his horse would strike on the toe MEISSONIER' TOMICAL MISTAKE, of , whilo the artist an » subject of . § drawing Meissonior's ter were conve the horse mov ou bring the + wk bh at A talking at co g about pecial forte was horse models with drawing ail ble, especially about et.

Honared Custom of the Narbecue, Provably the nearest approach to a bar becuse in other countries was a custom which obtained in Germany during the middle ages, at the crowning of the emperor, when an ox was roasted whole. However it origi. nated, in this country it has been a favorite means of entertainment for the great crowds who have been brought together for various purposes in Ueorgia in the years gone by. In the ante-belium days, when Whigs and Democrats met each other on the hustings, it was customary for the friends of the two candidates to combine and provide for a barbecue. Then invitations were sent out to the yeomanary, and they would come. The joint discussion would take place in the afternoon, and after the discussion came dinner. Somehow this time honored cus- tom has fallen into disuse, and the barbecus was relegated to male picnics Chicago Herald The Side the Bread Is Buttered On. “Who is that poor, old, ragged looking tan, pap!” “That's an inventor, child Ho invents entirely new ways of saving time, money, and labor in the production of useful articles” “Who are those gentlemen with big gold chains and diamond studs!
