Algiers' Human Panorama.

Before us, in the Moorish city of
Algiers, moves constantly changing
procession of representatives from all
nations and tribes. First comes a
stately Moor, with his white Bu1nous
wrapped about him, wearing q fez,
boardered with large white, embroid-
cred turban. Then comes the Arab,
cloaked and hooded in voluminous and
ragged wrappings, of doubtful shade
OF white. The Jews pass by, chatting
socially, dressed in dark, rich materials,
and the habyles, too, from the near
mountains. Now appear two Moorish
women, who are seldom seen on the
street except on Friday, their holy day.
The appearance which these women pre-
sent is at first glance ludicrous, but
after while 1t becomes interesting and
even fascinating to watch them. Al
though it is>my second winter in Al
giers, l find myself turning often to
gaze after these silent spectres, yelled
and mysteriously hidden in voluminous
folds and draperies of white. Very
little OF their face is visible under the
haik and over the face cloth, which is
drawn tightly below their beautiful
dark eyes. Their full white trousers.
worn over the house costume, are any
thing but graceful, as they walk slowly
and with difficulty. But we shall look
at these women more closely and study
into their lives at some other time.
Among these people of the flowing
white robes, mingle the French Zouave
officers, in bright blue jackets and scar
let trousers, and the brilliantly dressed,
but neat little French soldier, elbows
with the negro from the Soudan or
Abyssinia. The French citizen walks
past accompanied by his wife and chill
dren in full Partisan toilet. Now q
couple of moorish soldiers meet, and as
they stop to kiss each others hand, we
see the inevitable white turban, but dis
tinguish them from others by their long
red cloaks, worn over the rich cloth cos.
tune underneath.
And many a couple pass by, clothed
in long straight ulsters and travelling
hats, whom we cannot fail to recognize
as our English cousins. Numerous
Spanish and Swiss are here, and a few
Russians, Italians, Swedes, Poles and
Dutch, with good sprinkling of Amer
leans here and there. Then, of course,
the sailors whose steamers have touched
at the port for day or two, come from
all parts of the globe.
Here we meet many an invalid, stop
ping on his morning walk to rest upon
one of the benches, while he luxuriates
in the delicious warmth of this balmy
air and sunshine. York Observer.

Shrewd Advertisers.

READERS OF the newspapers of the day can
not fail to be impressed with the fact that
the modern advertiser is progressive.
tie is compelled TO be, else competitors
more active in the invention of new adver-
Using devices, will outstrip him in public
favor
The value of printers ink judiciously and
scientifically employed cannot be overestj-
mated; it is the medium whereby merito-
rious discovery is raised from local fame to
position in the public esteem. Hence the
columns OF the newspapers are daily used by
hosts OF advertisers and in the competition
which Is INDUCED in to attain the desire
end, the reader is oftentiInes amused.
The greatest of American advertisers, and
it may as well be said in the world, is Ii. H.
Warmer, of Rochester, N. y, whose name
has been made everywhere familiar in con
nection with Warmers Safe Cure widely
advertised because of its merit in the pre-
vention and cure of kidney diseases.
BY printers ink this great discovery hes
achieved worldwide popularity and thou.
sands feel grateful for the knowledge thus
acquired of this greatest of modern reme-
dies.
Furthermore, the public has been taught
that disorders of the lungs, brain, heart and
liver which have hitherto been regarded and
treated by the profession as distinctive dis
eases are not SO in fact. but are the attending
symptoms Of disease of the kidneys; therefore
the consumptive, the apopletic the paraly tic
and the sufferer from nervous disorders can
be restored to health by Warmers Safe Cure,
which will remove the true cause of those
disorders by restoring the kidneys to healthy
action.
The advertising methods employed by
this greatest of advertisers are invariably
instructive and, although the reader may
sometimes be caught" in reading an adj
vertisement which was not at first supposed
to be such, there is, nevertheless, no time lost
since useful information is invariably gained
concerning life's great problem.

That large proportion of the seamen

That large proportion of the seamen
on our men-of-war are foreigners is a
fact unpalatable, but nevertheless true.
How much of menace it may be to the
nation in the event of war remains to
be seen. When the frigate Constitu-
ton made her memorable cruise under
Hull, which resulted in the capture of
the Guerrero, every man was an Amer
lean sailor, the great majority of them
belonging to Marblehead But to-day
there is no incentive for the average
American youth to adopt the sea as
profession. There are no ships, no en-
couragement, no prospect, and they drift
into other pursuits. The cruiser Boston
may be taken as sample of the nation

The importation of analine dyes in
Persia during recent years has come
near running the ancient art of carpet
making which has fourished in that
country for centuries, and the govern
ment has finally prohibited their impor-
tation. The introduction of these dyes
was producing serious results, the colors
formerly durable becoming perishable.
The adoption of vulgar European pat
terms of a ford type is also condemned
