INCOME OF PosToFF1cEs.
Some Figures From the Auditors
Annual RepOrt.

Auditor Henry Castle, OF the Postof1ce
Department, is preparing his fourth annual
report. 1t shows some interesting figures
on the growth of the country in the last
four years. The following figures are taken
from the report:
The number of postoffices in the United
States has increased from 70,36O July /.
1896. to 76,691 June 80, 1900; net increase,

issued, all Of which find their ultimate
resting place in the files of the Auditors
bureau, increased from 1885, 53 to 3d.
163,050 per annum; net increase $500. 997
The Auditors clerks handle each of these
money orders as a voucher five times be-
fore the accounts of issuing and paying
postmasters can be settled. The volume
of money-order transactions increased

MAJESTIC ART PALACES
Two Grand Galleries on the Ameri-
can Continent.
The Metropolitan Museum fn New
York and the C0rcOran At WASH
tion-The Capital City Edihce
Richer I'm Work by Americans.

The ornate and very imposing Fifth Az
in New York is about completed and there
remains only the finishing of the interior
to be accomplished before 1t will be for
mally opened. This great American art
museum was planned on q grand scale pro-
portiona;e with its Importance as mon
umental metropolitan institution. A wing.
or section, was constructed first. years ago.
and from time to time additions to this
rather plain brick and stone structure.
were erected. The great stone facade Of
the recently completed portion of the edi-
fice facing the avenue is a grand, column
ed portal Of massive proportions and al
though simple is most artistic in design.
On the stone front, to the left as one en-
tiers the lofty doorway, is carved in Roman
letters the name OF "Durer," and on the
right is engraved that of Rembrandt"
Fifty years ago the trustees would proba-
bly, have selected Phidias anG Raphael for
this supreme distinction-and reflected the
taste of their time as distinctly as the
names OF Durer and Rembrandt reveal
the current of taste in this year 1900.
Art taste is slow Of growth and less de-
pendent on the whims of the uncultivat-
ed than most people would have one be-
lieve. A man OF wealth may have painted
in any way that he pleases almost any
thing he desires. artists will be found to
execute the order, but that does not es-
tablisb the pictures quality, or determine
fits excellence as a work Of art, for stand
ards are established by the greatest paint
ers, the discerning critics and the most
discriminating connoisseurs. 1t is the taste
OF a learned few that one must first be
satisfied with nowadays. Fashion may be
slow to follow their lead, but follow 1t they
will in time. because truth and progress
are unalterable laws OF art evolution. Thus
1t is that. without forgetting the genius
Of Phidias and Raphael, earnest men must
relish keenly the deserved prominence CIV
en- these two masters-one OF line and the
other Of color-at the entrance to the larg-
est and most important art museum in
America.
1t may be small matter in the eyes
OF some, but / see in straws like this how
Enthusiastically America is building firm
and Interchangeable foundation for her art
Of the future. Art here at home is, after
all, 80 very young, and 1t is important
that the soundest and most uncompro-
missing theories regarding drawing and
color prevail-and they do. Portrait, fig
ure, and landscape painters who drew like
Indians or children and who knew al
most as little about color, no longer point
TO a fashionable following. full purses,
and many orders as proof Of their genius,
as was so commonly done but few short
years ago in America. This is the most
encouraging feature Of the art outlook
on the threshold OF the new century.

A MANIAC FOUR YEARS OLD.
Infant Confined I'm "a Padded Cell in
an Asylum.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 13-In padded
cell in the State Asylum for the Insane
at Napa lies the youngest maniac that
was ever adjudged insane by court.
Montee Ledderhos, aged four. has just
been cast into the place for the living
dead. He is there for life. His disease
is incurable the doctors say. Hcmicidal
mania is the form Of madness from which
he suffers. He is dangerous to himself
and to everyone with whom he comes
in contact.
A few months ago he was thrown out of
n hammock and hurt his head. At first
the injury affected his health. When he
began to mend his recovery was wonder
fully rapid. He grew strong and sinewy.
His brutality was something monstrous.
He loved to torture dogs and cats: he
destroyed his toys; he broke everything
he laid his hands on; he turned his infant
wrath against other children. He nearly
killed one baby by striking it on the head
with a nursing bottle. Another he as
saulted with hat pin.

TRADE OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Division of Customs and 1nsular

The summary shows that during the pc

school and in itself is a never-failing
source of information to the art student
and always inviting to the connoisseur. This
has been followed by good pictures without
number and some Of them are great pic
lures. The majority Of the paintings were
produced in this century. Almost every
school and master is here represented. Not
less important than the Wolfe collection
is that given by its president, Mr. Mar
quand. This is a collection OF old mas
tiers, the undisputed gem of which is the
Rembrant, a life-siZe head OF a man in a
big hat. The drawing modelling, color
texture, expression, and finally its quality
makes 1t to me the most enjoyable bit of
head painting in America-and saw Moth
ing Of the kind abroad liked better.
Those Rembrandts in London, Paris
Berlin, Amsterdam, and Dresden are in
no wise better. THE Night Watch" a
colossal canvas, the most important pic
ture in the Amsterdam museum, one of
the largest, most highly esteemed, and
best known paintings in existence, is not
so profitable picture to study as this
simple head by the same hand in the
Metropolitan Museum. There is town
hall full of Franz Halls work in Haariem,
and / went to see them with great ex-
pectations, based on that stunningly exc
cuted head of an old woman in the Mar
quand CORRECTION. Inc Haarlem show was
the greatest disappointment l experienced
abroad. 1t was a great array of burgers
done with the greatest haste and care
lessness; an impertinent, senseless lot
of trash, SO far as purposes of study are
concerned, and not one CLEAN of the
genius which shines in every brush mark
of the old woman's head by this Dutch
Nalesquez. That a man has painted one
good picture is no sign that all his work
will even approach it. The public and
collectors are coming to recognize this,
and the fad is dying out for Haunting the
name of this or that great artist in the
face of ones visitor and expecting him
to show great reverence when the pic
ture itself is SO bad that, without the
signature, 1t would not be given house
room.
The familiarity with good art which the
freedom Of these great galleries makes
possible is educating the public to look
Beyond names and judge pictures on their
merits alone. Thus 1t is that in this and
other ways the Corcoran and the Metro
politan, as well as many other excellent
art galleries over the country, are doing
great educationa! work, the value of
which is beyond measurement.

Letter 10 F. E. Wyman,
Randolph, Vermont.

Dear Sir: As a painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally OBJ
lect 10 Devoe lead and zinc. Let US have a
few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil lob will
last three years, and they say a house
ought to be painted once in three years.
We take them to mean that their work
Is good for three years, no more and no
less, or not much more and not much less.
DO you want your work to last longer ?
What do you say to six years You'd
nave to have twice as much work, Won
know; or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case OF your doctor. You
call him in. Is it better for him to get
your child out OF bed tomorrow, or Keen
him sick for a month?
You prefer a quick doctor. So does
everyone else in your town, and county,
and state. We are all alike; we ali want
our doctors quick. A doctor that gets
his patients up quick is the doctor that
gets the patients-gets rich too, IL he
isn't run to death.
It's about the same with a painterl isn't
III Suppose you paint Devoe, and your
competitor objects to Devoe; your work
lasts six years and bis work three. You
cost your customers half; he costs double.
Who'll get the business; and who'll go TO
Texas9
Devoe lasts six yesrs-not exactly-we
know OF its lasting seventeen-and il
never wears out IN less than three, so far
as we know. On windy, sandy seaside
house, il lasts three years. Lead and oil
last one year there.
Devce lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil; and it's going to paint
your town. 7 Do you want TO be in it?
Yours truly,
2 F.w. DEvoE & Co.
