THE Z0lIAyES.

these renowned soldiers:

We condense from an article in the atlantic
Monthly for August, the following account of
these renowned soldiers:
Algeria was settled in 1892 by Moors driven
from Spain. They recognized kind of allegi-
ance to the Sultan of Turkey, which was, how
ever, only nominal; he appointed their Emirs,
but, further than this, there was no restraint on
their actions. Hard pressed by the Spaniards in
1903, the Emirs sent in haste to Turkey for aid
and Barbarossa, noted pirate sailed to their
help, drove out the Christians, but fixed upon
the Moors the yoke of Turkish sovereignty. In
1916, he declared himself Sultan, or Dey of Al
giers; and his brother succeeded him, the OF
toman power was firmly established in the north
west of Africa. Hated by the people of this ter
ritory, both Moors and Arabs, menaced not only
by their dissensions, but frequently attacked by
the Christians from the north, there was but one
method by which the Dey could maintain his
power. He formed a large body of mercenary
soldiers, drawn entirely from Turkey, united with
himself and each other by feeling of mutual
dependence and common danger, and bound by
no feeling OF interest or affection to the inhabi-
itants of the soil. Brave they were, as they
proved in l54l, against Charles the Fifth whose
forces they defeated and nearly destroyed at
Haratch-in 1865, at the seige of Malta-in
iO'-t thO oN"-hbhb VI ltpdlito-iii iiuul
smaller combats at different times, defending
their land triumphanlly, in 1915, against the
Spaniards under O'Reilly and Casteon. Hardy
and ready they were from the very necessity Of
the case, for they were hated and dreaded be-
yond measure by the Arabs, and theirs was life
of constant exertion. Other than united they
could not be, for they were in continual warfare
of offence or of defence they suppressed rebel
lion and anarchy; for without leader and union
they had been cut off by the restless foe, whose
piercing eyes watched, and whose daggers wait
ed only for the time. In constant danger, they
could not sink into that soth which eats out
the heart of eastern and southern nations for
it was only in unrest that safety lay he who
slumbered on those burning plains no less than
the sleeper on Siberian Isle, was lost utterly
and without remedy.
This body of troops, called the Odjack, elect
ed or deposed Deys at pleasure Dey, nominal
ly their ruler, was in reality their tool. In one
period of twenty years, there were six Deys, of
whom four were decapitated, one abdicated
through fear, and one died fearlessly in the ex-
ercise of his governing functions. In 1929,
they declared the Kingdom free from the DOM

OH HORSE, YOU'RE TOO LATE.

Early this morning there were added to our
company of travellers pair who looked like
runaways the gentleman was tall. raw boned
specimen of the "half-horse, half alligator -
class, and the lady fair match for him.
Among the passengers from Napoleon is a
solemn-looking gentleman, who has all along
been taken for preacher. About nine O'Clock
last night was conversing with the reverend"
gentleman, when young man stepped up, and
addressing him, remarked: "We're going to
have wedding, and would like to have you of
fciate." "All right, sir" he replied, laughing
ly, and we stepped into the ladies' cabin, where,
sure enough, the couple stood waiting There
had been some "kissing games" and several
mock marriages gone through with during the
evening, and supposed this was merely con-
tinuation of the sport and so thought the
"preacher," who, could see, had good deal
Of humor in him, and was inclined to promote
general good feeling and merriment. The
couple stood up before him, ia good deal more
solemn than was necessary in mock marriage,
thought and the "preacher" asked the nee
essary questions, and then, proceeding in the
usual way announced them husband and wife.
There was good deal of fun afterward, and
when il was over | left the cabin, snd so did
the "preacher," who remarked to me that he
liked to see the young folks enjoying them
selves, and took great deal Of pleasure in

cies, such as war, the large payment on account
OF Negro Emancipation, &c. In periods of
peace, and when the rate of interest has been
low, the Government has redeemed small por-
tons of the debt, or it has lowered the annual
charge by reducing, with the consent of holders,
the rate of interest.
"The debt, then, consists of several species
Of loans or funds, with different denominations,
which have been, in process Of time, varously
mixed and mingled, such as Consols, i. c. sew
eral different loans consolidated into one stock,
3 per cents Reduced Consols, New per cents,
&c. The public debt continued to increase.
until, at the accession of George |. in l714, it
was Esd l45, 1868. Some two millions was paid
off during his reign, but during that of his sue
cessor it was greatly increased, so that, in 1853,
it had reached the sum of 13S,S65,430. Dur
ing the peace from 1875 ten millions were
paid, but at the conclusion of the American
Revolution it was E249, ,S5l ,62S. In the peace
which ensued from 1884 to 1893, ten and a
half millions were paid. Then came the great
moral and political revolution of Europe, in the
course of which, England sided with despotism.
She fomented quarrels, caused coalition after
coalition to be formed spent money freely to
uphold every absolutst, subsidized every des-
pot and was the persistent enemy of the people
During this insane career she contracted an in
crease of debt exceeding SIR hundred million
sterling. so that at the close of the war, and
when the English and Irish Exchequers we're
consolidated, the total funded and unfunded
debt, in 1917, was fS40, 0,S50,49l and the an
nual charge upon it was E32,0l5,94l.
"From that time to 1854 there was a contin-
ual reduction of debt On the 1st of April,
1904, it was f76S, ,66i,249. But then came the
Crimean war, and afterwards the war in India
Immediately following these, came the necessi-
ty for increased expenses in the navy and army
in preparation for general European war;
The Crimean and Indian wars have increased
the debt more than all the reductions which
were made during forty years, and to-day it
cannot be less than ESQ, 100000.
"Ths vast sum- reduced to dollars, is four
thousand two hundred million, most of which
is Consols, bearing interest at three per cent
The ordinary price of the three per cent. is &c.
because people investing at such low rate, will
not pay par when money is worth higher per
centage.

SULPHUR FOR SToCK.-The benefit derived
by stock from the use Of sulphur is not suf-
ficiently well known.
Most farmers are well aware that there are
certain seasons in the year when animals of
every description on the farm-from the finest
colt down to the poorest culf-becomc afflicted
with lin plain English) lice tone Of the ten
plaques of Egypt,) or "ticks.'
To become free from any trouble or injuries
from the attacks of these pests, we have only
to put sulphur in the feed or salt of stock so
infested; or mix a little in lard, and rub it on
the small and young animals. A speedy cure
may be depended upon.
/ think a teaspoonful two or three times
week-four or five times year-will generally
keep hogs and sheep entirely clear of such ver-
min.
The above article is more particularly appl-
cable to sheep and hogs. 1t has been said, and,
l believe, with some show of truth, that sui
phur has another effect on sheep; that, given
plentifully at the beginning of warm weather,
as above directed every other week, till shear

cough, and whitening the wool; and, as evil

stand why they should select him to act as a
preacher.
Just then some one called me aside, and the
old gentleman stepped into his state room,
which was next TO mine. When | returned,
the door stood open and the ''prcachcr" stood
just inside with his coat and vest off. and one
boot in his hand, talking with the gentleman
who played the Attendant" and who, as came
up, remarked: "Well, ii that's the case, it is
a good joke, for they are in dead earnest, and
have retired to the same room. The old gentle
man raised both hands, as he exclaimed, Good
heavens you don't tell me SOP and rushing
just as he was, boot in hnnd to the state-room
indicated, commenced an assault on the door as
if he would batter it down, exclaiming at each
lick, "For Heavens sake, don't, | amt a

"The national debt of England began with
the REIMBURSEMENT of the old custom of extort-
ing from the people, and substituting borrow
ing therefor, to meet public exigencies.-
Charles ]. borrowed largely from his partisans
but all his debts were extinguished by the Rev
olution. 1t was under his sons, Charles H.
and James II. that the foundations of perma.
nent debt were laid in England. On the acces-
sion OF William Ill the debt was f665 ,233-
During his reign, however, the system of credit
was expanded throughout Europe. A large
part of the annual expenditure of the govern
ment was betrayed by borrowing money, and
pledgihg the State to pay annual interest upon
it. At Williams death, the debt was f15, $780,
439. From'his time to the present, the process
of borrowing has been continued in all exigen.

TOPPING CoRN.-Some Of your contributors
differ relative to the practcability of cutting
off the tops of corn.
My'linted experience in the culture of corn,
much inclines Inc TO fuvor the practice of cut
ting of the tops at an early day. The reasons
for so doing in brief are as follows:
AS soon as the corn is full, remove the ton.
The hot sun soon sears the cut end of the stalk
and what supply of nourishment was intended
for the top, is saved for the ear consequently
the ears will ripen fuller than it otherwise
would. If the tops are removed previous to
the high winds accompanying autumnal storms,
tie corn will be partially, at least, protected
and saved. The corn Will ripen sooner, and
think, sounder.
The tops will be double what they otherwise
would be TO remain until the corn is sufficient
ly ripened to put into shocks.
The sugar contained in the stalk is its real
value. The sooner the stock is cut after it at
tans its full growth, the more is saved If
suffered to remain, nearly all of its value es-
capes by evaporation.
True, if you cut up and shock before the
corn is quite ripe, you save trfe in the value
of the butt stalks but not enough to compen-
safe for the loss in the top stalks. The in
creased labor in tying up and shocking will
quite balance that of topping.-Cor. N. Z. Far
mer, Georgetotcn, Mass, 1859.
