JOANNE KOERTEN'S WORK,
Little Dutch Girl and Her Really Won
derful Scissors.

A Little Dutch Cir! and Her Really Won
derful Scissors.
More than two hundred years ago a
little girl was born at Amsterdam, in
Holland, who was named jeanne Koer-
ten. She was peculiar child in that
she cared nothing whatever to play and
sport, but found her greatest delight in
making copies of things about her, imi-
tating in wax every kind of fruit, and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings, which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very accom-
plished in music, spinning and embroi-
derry she abandoned all these for still
more extraordinary art-that of cutting.
One is seized with establishment in look
ing at her work, for all that the en-
graver accomplishes with the graver
she affected with her scissors.
She executed landscapes, marine
views, flowers, animals and portraits of
people of such striking resemblance
that she was for time quite the won
der of Europe.
She used white papers for her cut
tings, placing them over "a black surface,
SO that the minute openings made by
her scissors formed the Light and
shade"
The ear, Peter the Great, and others
of high rank paid her honor One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for trophy she had cut, bear
ing the arms of Emperor Leopold,
crowned with eagles and surrounded by
a garland of flowers. She also cut the
emperors portrait, which can now be
seen in the royal art gallery in Vienna.
A great many people went to see her
and she kept book in which princes
and princesses wrote their names.
After she died. which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her husband,
Adrian Block, erected monument to
her memory and had designed upon il
the portraits of all these titled visitors.
and so tasteful as to give both dignity
and value to her work and constitute
her an artist WHOSE exquisite skill with
scissors has newell before nor since been
e.ua.lcd. So both her art and her mon
ument were unique and have kept her
memory green" for now nearly two
hundred and fifty years.-Wide Awake.

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-The German elniCra-
ton bill, introduced as a supplement to the
army bill, compels all emigration agents TO
take out licenses, and to submit their books
to the government for inspection. The bill
prohibits the emigration of men between
she ages of II and % who are liable to mill
tary service. 1t also prohibits the emf sra-
ton of Germans whose fares are paid by a
foreign company or agent. The authorities
expect that there will be largely increased
emigration of the young and robust to
escape from military duty, and it is pro-
posed to stop this if possible. The kaiser
has long been known to be opposed to I'M
restricted emigration, and it is said that he
is highly pleased with the restrictions i'm
posed by President Harrison, as tending TO
prevent a loss to Germany of valuable
military material.
Specially Intended for North Germans.
The bill is to be pushed on to its passage,
and will be vigorously enforced, 50 that
those who expect to escape the ranks by
going to America or to the colonies viii
probably be disappointed. 1t is calculated
that thirty per cent. OF the German emigra-
ton is of men who would be useful in the
time of war, while large proportion of the
remainder is composed of comparatively
young women in good state OF health.
What has made the Prussan authorities
more uneasy lately is the large increase of
North German emigration. The North
Germans fl N the Prussian point of view,
are more desirable as soldiers than the ma
tives of other parts of Germany, and it is
the desire to retain all who are able-bodied
within the country.
The Kind That Can Emigrate.
There is no objection to the eInigra-
ton of Poles, or the crippled, or of crimi-
mails, and as the police WILL under the pro-
posed law, have full jurisdiction as to who
may or may not emigrate, it is not expect
ed that they will stand in the way of those
whose emigration is desirable from Ger
man point OF view. The proposed law will
not affect tie emigration of Russian Jews.
