GREENLAND.
Was the East Coast Settled by Northmer
in tho Middle Ages?

III tho miuuAc hBtos
The old controversy as to whether or
not the east coast Of Greenland was set.
tied by the Mortimer, who built thriv-
ing colonies on the west coast in the
early middle ages, has been decided by
Danish Government expedition, sent
out in the spring of 1883 to explore the
little visited coast The early Norwe-
gian records speak of sixteen parishes
and nearly three hundred villages on
Greenland eight or nine hundred years
ago, when it had its own Bishop; but
this entire civilization had persisted
when Davis penetrated along the west
coast to the strait that bears his name in
1886. The fact that an eastern" and
western" settlement were spoken OF
in the records led to the belief that both
coasts had been settled in the early days,
while modern explorations have made
progress only along the west coast.
Nordcnskjold, who visited these regions
in. 1888, believed that he had found
traces of ancient habitations on the east
side similar to those found along the
west coast. The Danish explorers have
proved him wreng. They spent two
winters on the east coast and penetrated
hundred miles further north than the
point (65 degrees Is minutes) reached
by Graah in 1922 mapping out the land
and calling it king Christian the
Ninth's land" but they found no trace
of previous occupation, except beer
bottle which the Esquimaux who in.
habit these high ATTITUDES had looked
askance at for several years, believing
it to be somehow connected with the
elves of the inland glaciers, which they
fear as evil spirits. The explorers were
unable to account for the presence Of
the bottle, that had the name of we'll
known Norwegian brewer blown in the
glass, until they learned of Nor
denskjold's previous visit to the neigh
borhood, The coast was quite accessible

A GREAT NUISANCE.


The Woman Who Monopoiizes the Seats
of Four Persons In Railway Car.
Among railway nuisances the per-
son who brings all his or her baggage
into the car, depositing the same upon
the floor, the seats and in the aisles,
must rank as one of the greatest. The
experienced traveller need not be re.
minded how often a bulky valise or
huge bandbox is installed upon seat
by the side of passenger, and made
to represent fictitious parsonage Just
at present absent from the seat he has
taken, and thus secure for the aforesaid
passenger the room designated for two
mortals. With what unblushing
effrontery people of apparently good
breeding, and especially women, re-
verse the back of the seat in front Of
the one they have taken, and heap the
whole seating space, except that occu-
pied by their persons, with bundles and
packages and luggage of almost every
form of name, is well understood by
train officials and ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
who are often ruthlessly crowded out
of their rights thereby. Indeed, it
sometimes seems as though the COM
placent satisfaction with which an Of
fender of this class surveys the situa-
ton, the sardonic calmness and cool
indifference, while men and women are
standing about the passageways or
vainly striving to find a place of rest
for bodies aching after hours of shop
ping or the hurried walk to catch the
train, furnishes good ground, for per
sonal attack by which the offending
parcels MAY be widely scattered, if not
pitched out Of the window altogether.
In the economy of railroad manage
ment, this matter is almost alwsys pro-
vided for by the rules of the. lines, but
the cases are seldom wherein con-
! ductors insist upon the proprieties un.
1 der such circumstances, while. only &C.
casionally passenger comes upon the
scene with nerve and tact enough to
compel respect for the rights Of others,

A young clergyman who had come
to supply the vacant pulpit of the church

his way almost unnoticed into the pull

an old lady who sat close on the right of
