Greenland Journalism.

Journalism in Greenland is repre-
sented by single paper and to its
proprietor. Mr.. Moeller. Is due the
credit of educating large number of
the natives, because he not only print
ed the paper for them. but also taught
them how to read 1t. This wonderful
ly energetic man performs single
handed the functions of editor. re-
porter, proprietor. distributor and
business manager. The entire paper,
which is printed in Godthaab, is the
product OF his own pen. Some time
ago he set up primitive printing es-
tablishment. and every two weeks
he performs long journey on skates
to dispose of his journal. Originally
1t contained only few crude illustra-
tions, but gradually other matter was
introduced until now 1t contains arti-
cles on the affairs of the day. The
man actually taught his subscribers
to read his paper. first introducing
words, then sentences. and now arti-
cles on the topics of the day.

The fact that we are rearing up a
healthier generation Of women than We
did decade ago is sufficient evidence
that the advocacy OF outdoor life, open
air breathing and good sanitary ar
rangements OF our homes is produc-
ing remarkable results. Some people
may not attribute to these causes the
revolution that has been accomplished,
but they are primarily at the bottom
of the whole change. The old-time no.
ton that woman shaving at her
household duties or working outdoors
should be healthy because she received
abundant exercise, is not the modern
idea OF what makes health. They
sometimes had too much labor exercise
and dragged out their life. Others
worked 80 steadily at certain lines Of
work that one system OF muscles was
developed at the expense of others.
The resultant effect was not good
health. 1t was rather one-sided devel-
opment that sooner or later made room
for lameness and disease which at
tackled the weak parts Of the system.
The unfortunate circumstances which
make many a woman toll for her daily
bread do not preclude her from attain
ing health and strength. The weari-
ness which they often feel. and which
they wrongly attribute to too much
exercise, is often due to foul air. lack
of variety in exercise and monotony of
work. When shop hours are over, in
stead of returning home to rest up and
lay off, or possibly do light work
around the house, 1t would be better II
they could take a brisk walk in the
open air or take little gymnastic ex-
ercise. Diversion OF some kind in the

Extra Pay for soldiers.

The owner of one of the big sloups
that has sailed many races in these

of all sports by raising the wages of
his sailors to an unprecedented height.
There is to be general protest all
along the line. He explains the situa-
tion in this way: 81 am given to the
most awful swearing whenever I get
on salt water, and several of my best
men left ,Ise year ago on account of
it.vowing they would never again ship
on my boat II intended to take active
command. Well. as l believe in sail
ing my own vessel they kept their
word. This season made new deal,
which was no less than an agreement
with my crew that their wages would
be doubled provided they never resent
ed by look or deed my swearing. You
see, can now go on deck and cuss out
the whole lot Of 'em without having
one so much as seem injured. 1t Is a
great pleasure to be able to vilify,

Beer Garden. In rheater..

In Germany theaters frequently have
beer gardens annexed. These enjoy
large patronage. The best record in
this respect is probably held by the
new Royal William theater at Stutt-
CART, which, during the three months
from June / to August 81. 1900, had
an average patronage of no fewer than
1,6O0 persons a day. The quantity Of
beer consumed each day averaged one
quart per head. The papers OF Stutt-
CART are quite elated over the results
and the German press at large is using
the success OF the beer garden as an IL
lustration for the argument that there
is still room in the large cities for
more theaters OF this kind.
