4 LITTLE DUTCH GIRL AND HER
WONDERFUL SCISSORS

More than two hundred years ago a
little girl was born at Amsterdam,
Holland, whose name was jeanne
K9rten. She was Il peculiar child in
that she cared nothing whatever for
play and sport, but found her greatest
delight in making copies of things
about her, initiating in wax every
kind of fruit, and making on silk,
with colored floss, exact copies of
paintings, which were thought Won
derful.
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and
embroidery, she abandoned all these
for a still more extraordinary art
that of cutting.
One is seized with aston shment in
looking at her work all that the en-
graver accomplishes with the graver
she effected 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 paper for her cut
tings, placing them over a black sur
face, so that the minute opening
made by her scissors formed the Light
and shade"
The Gar, Peter the Great, and
others of high rank, paid her honor
One man high in office vainly offered
her a thousand florins for three small
cuttings. The Empress of Germany
paid her four thousand forms for
trophy she had cut, bearing the arms
of Emperor Leopold, crowned with
eagles and surrounded by garland
of flowers. She also cut the Emperor's
portrait, which can now be seen in the
Royal Art Gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her,
and she kept a book in which princes
and princesses wrote their names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her hus-
band, Adrian Block, erected a monu-
ment to her memory, and had design
ed upon it the portraits of these titled
visitors. Her cuttings were so correct
in effect, and so tasteful, as to give
both dignity and value to her work,
and constitute her an artist whose ex-
quisite skill with scissors has never
before nor since been equaled. So
both her art and her monument were
unique, and have kept her in ''mem-
DRY green for now nearly two hun
dred and fifty years.

FASHIONS IN SUICIDES.

1.-THE mania for committing suicide
is spreading toan alarming extent, re-
marked Johns Hopkins professor a
few days since. II recall reading
prediction" he continued. that be-
tween the years 1885 and 1895 such
an epidemic, if you call If that, would
prevail owing to the planetary influ-
ences, and the facts seem to bear it
out, whether the prediction was bas-
ed on supposititious grounds, or as a
result of astronomical research. His
tory tells us that at an early period
in France so prevalent was the idea
of self-destruction that the Govern
ment issued a decree that after GER
tain time the body of any man or
woman guilty of taking his or her life
should be hanged in public place
and designated as that of a cowardly
criminal. The result of the edict was
that thereafter the suicidal mania be-
came Questionable, and deaths from
this cause were few and far between.
1t would appear to me, reviewing the
history of the last few years, that
some legislation of the same sort must
be enacted in America

4 TEMPERANCE PARTY.

II was dining once with one Of the
owners of the Emma Nine" said the
talkative man in the company, land
it was just when the mine was COM
ing into notice and its owners were
getting hand in the gold. A case of
wine had been sent to the family
who were living in 1llinois-and it
came as we were sitting down at q
fine home dinner, gotten up on the
strict temperance plan. The good
woman at the head of the table was
quite Mortified on seeing it.
L declare pa, it's q shame she
said, holding up both hands; they
carn't know your principles or they
wouldn't send such stuff here
liver tasted any California wine?'
asked the old man, with wink at
me.
ga few times l answered, with a
wide awake look.
"'What'll we do for a corkscrew,
pa p asked the oldest son. E
Don't know, Pm sure, son. P'raps
your ma has one"
"'I s'pose; said ma, in a quiet way,
the one l open that patent medicine
with wouldn't dor
"'You might get it, said the old
man, taking one of the bottles out of
the case.
You can have mine; I always carry
o corkscrew for medicinal purposes
l said.
50 do L.
50 do L.
"'S' do L.
This from the old man and the two
boys, and four corkscrews flashed in
air just as the old lady returned with
fifth. She looked kind of amused as
she said:
81 was afraid, stranger, that lnebbe
you wouldn't think we was real good
temperance folks if we owned up to
the corkscrews, but l guess it's all
right, seem you've got one yourself
Then we drank the health of the
Emma mine in very temperate toast
but we had no end of fun over our
corkscreW scare.n

THELADYAND THEBIG GRAYCAT

Kindly assist me with this bas-
ket-careful, pleasep'
The speaker, a large, and handsome
woman, had just entered the depot.
Diamonds bobbed playfully in her
ears, and the dress she wore would
have made Worth weep for joy.
Passenger Agent Cummings prompt
ly took the basket. 1t was of medium
size, richly trimmed with satin and
decorated with vari-colored ribbons.
The contents were covered by quilt
beautifully decorated with needle
work. 1t weighed in all nearly forty
pounds. Mr.. Cummings was amazed
that woman of her evident wealth
should be carrying such q heavy bur-
den.
Suddenly he felt a strange jolting
in the basket. The quilt was heav-
ing up and down. Mr.. Cummings
thought Of babies, dogs, snakes, chick
ems and mud turtles all in less than a
second. 1t was with feeling q relief
that he deposited the mysterious bun
die on a seat by the side of the wo-
man.
Come, Dick" she said, pleasant
ly. .r,a
Instantly the quilt went up with
a volcanic burst, and out popped, like
81 whiskered Jack-in-the box, a huge
gray cat. 1t was the largest that Mr..
Cummings had ever seen. Dick
stood nearly eighteen inches high,
and was long and broad in proper
ton. His weight exceeded thirty
five pounds. After showing him
proudly the lady snapped her finger
and the huge cat jumped back into
the basket.
Dick is the Goliah of his race. He
wore about his neck richly orna-
mented gold band bearing a medal
from the recent Paris cat show. His
owner, the lady, never travels with
out him close at her side. Dick was
given drink of water, which he re-
ceived with rare display of feline
majesty, and then Mr.. Cummings
bore him out to the Baltimore and
Ohio train, which left at 3.15.

WHEN FINISHED.

Busy persons, forced to defend them
selves from interminable takers, who
have little to say, can appreciate a
hint to which Henry ~. of France
once resorted. A parliamentary de-
putty called upon him and made a
long speech.
The king listened patiently for a
time, then he decided that his visitor
would do well to condense his remarks.
He took him by the hand and led him
to where they could see the gallery of
the Louvre.
What do you think of that build
ing? When it is finished it will be a
good thing, will it not"
Yes" replied the man of many
words, not guessing what was coming
next.
well, monsieur, that is just the
way with your DISCOURSE" was the
kings mild observation.

THE LOVE CHASE.

Though oft passed her on the street,
l seldom seemed to catch her eye;
She rarely lets our glances meet,
Although she knows I'm passing by.
But though to me she does not speak,
Nor give look my heart to cheer,
The furtive blush upon her cheek
Tells me she knows that l am near.
TITS true she's full of girlish art,
A trait that's common to her sex,
But she is no coquette at heart,
Though oft her tricks my mind perpleX.
know she's partial to the rose
I've sent her some, both red and yellow
Yet out upon the street she goes
With viOlets from some other fellow.
And still this love chase pursue
'Twixt hope and fear continue wooing;
One day o'eI joyed, the next so blue
l scarcely know what am doing.
But one thought take comfort in,
And gloomy doubt gives place to rapture;
The harder she would be to win,
The dearer yet will be the capture.
