The Population Of Greenland.

1t seems by recent report OF
the Danish Statistical Bureau that the
census Of Greenland in 1890 showed a
total population Of 1916, OF which 309
were Europeans. the remaining 10,2O7
being natives. Since 1880 the increase
has been tive per cent, the greatest
growth being in North Greenland. In
one Of the "colonies," that of Godhavn,
the increase. has reached thirty-fve per
cent. Nearly the whole OF the European
settlers are found in the south. As has
always been the case, the women greatly
outnumber the men. This is especially
true of Southern Greenland, owing TO
the fact that the milder climate allows
hunting and fishing from the kayak to
be carried on both winter and summer.
During each Of the last decades the
number Of accidental deaths in this oc.
cupation has averaged 200 ia the south
to tifty or sixty in the north. With re-
gard to occupations, 1868 persons are
engaged in the whale and seal fisheries,
1868 are ordinary fishermen, thirty three
are netters, iorty-seven are hunters, and
three are cattle.owners, this last industry
having been introduced into Southera
Greenland during the year 1s90.-Lon.

Arab Conjuriny.

"Talking about miracles" SAID Jams
p. Carr, .'l'm no believer in them
generally speaking, but saw something
like,oys several years ago at the city Of
Cairo In Egypt. 1t was just as'ssdper-
natural and incomprehensibl to my
senses as anything that could possibly
take place. Some years ago was sent
to Alexandria by Connecticut paper
mill company to buy cargo of rags. 1
went on up the Nile to Cairo to see what
l might do there. While sitting one
afternoon on the veranda of the famous
Shepherds Hotel in company with some
English travellers, we were approached
by very singular-looking parsonage
who at once took all our attention. He
was an Arab, tall and lank, with long,
swarthy visage, deep-set eyes of piercing
quality, and was very deliberate aud
solemn in all his movements and aspects.
He wore the turban and long cotton
gown with loose sleeves and "a rope
around his wrist for a girdle. lie had
an interpreter with him who proposed
to do a miracle for us at the low price
of twenty cents per head. We all
Clipped in with alacrity.
"He stood within circle formed by
us, his interpreter outside. He first
rolled up the wide sleeves of his gown
and tucked them on topof his shoulders.
Next he removed the turban from his
head, twisted it up into rope about
two inches thick, and held it in the
middle with both hands. passing it up
and down before our gaze and not more
than ten inches from our faces. His
interpreter asked one of us to take out
pocket-knife and cut the turban in
two right between his hands. was the
one VINO did it. 1t took about three
slashes to get it apart. l then, upon
direction, Int match and set fire to the
two ragged ends, which we all were
watching very closely. The cotton
caught readily, blazed up moment,
and was then blown out by the per.
former. He passed the charred endi
before our noses, and. with q slow move.
ment OF his fingers, gathered the two
pieces into his hands, rubbed them all
up in small bunch, and then, with the
tips of his fingers, disengaged the tangio
and drew out, in one length, the whole
turban, just as he had taken it from his
head Smell of smoke, charred ends,
ragged edges, all gore. The Arab
slcwly passed away. IL was broad day
light, the sun was shining in the even.
ing sky, and the streets were full of
passing people. We had to look around
at these familiar sights for moment TO
realize that we had not really witnessed
miracle. "--St. Louis Globe. Democrat.
