Disaoultics OF Portrait Painting.

Portraits in oil are seldom faithful
likenesses of the subjects. The other
day local portrait painter was asked
why this was 80, and he said it was al
most invariably the fault of the subject
especially so in the case of q woman.
With photograph or crayon portrait
the subject never saw the work until
it was presented complete, while with a
portrait in oil the subject gave sittings
and suggestions-lots of suggestions,
too. The painter was working for
money. He must please his subject
in order to give satisfaction and earn
his money, and consequently he was
obliged to accept suggestions. These
might please the subject by making
her look prettier, but they would
nearly always spoil the likeness. Por-
trait painting, he said, was the most
unsatisfactory branch of the art, and
portrait painters always aged mora
rapidly than did those who devoted
their talents to other branches. Chi

Importance, and went on to speak in
the highest terms of Gen. Malone, his

GROWTH OF THE PENSION LIST.
lFrom the New York SUM-

Twenty-four years and more have
passed since the civil war ended, vet
during the IL months preceding july
l, 1889, no fewer than 53,675 names
were added to the pension lists. Sub
tracing the l6.5U7 names dropped for
death and other causes, we have a NET
increase Tor the year of 81, 7,168.
j. king back to date when there
Was II far greater body of survivors of
the war to draw from, we find that the
increase from 1866 to 1867 was onIv
e. '46l. The following year it was
10, 400; the year alter that 1t was 49,
32o; the succeeding year showed a
growth In the list OF 1928; then fol-
lowed one OF $500. A much higher
addition came in 1872, when the net
gain was "a .734; but this was followed
by gain of only 6,1S2. During the
nVe Following years a most suggestive
change occurred. The number of Den.
sioners, which in 1873 had been 23S..
Al, fell off to 236,241 in 1874, to 234.-
o2l the next year, to 232, ,1O4 the year
after that, while the year 1873 found
the humber reduced to 223,99s.
This is the record of normal growth
and decline. A dozen years after the
cIose OF the civil war the inroads made
by death had naturally begun to over.
come the few additions made through
the adjudication of delayed applica-
tions.
But the year 1873 marked the end OF
the normal condition of the pension
list. Then great increases began. On
June 30, 1883, there were 4S9, ,729 names
on the roll; and at the rate of addition
prevailing last year there are probably
abont 5OO, 600 names there to-day.
What is the cause of this enormous
and continuous increase? 1t is dne
first to granting pensions for service
only in the war of 1912 and the Mexi-
can war; next to the arrears legisla-
ton, which vastly stimulated apphca.
lions for pensions; thirdly to the in
crease in the rates of pensions over the
amounts originally fixed.
AS consequence we now have half
million pensioners on the list, or a
number greater than the average of The
regular armies maintained in active
service by the leading European ma
tions.
What man in the next congress will
have the courage to tell the truth about
and the amazing growth OF our PEN
sion lists?
