ALGIERS.
THE OLD HOME OF PIRACY AS
1T EXISTS To-DAX.
A Picturesque City, Inhabited by
$4,000 Quaint and Not Over
Clearly P~eople-The Sur
rounding Country.

Algiers contains in round numbers,
5000 inhabitants, and is the capital of
the largest French colony. The French
occupancy dates from 1880, when an
army was landed and forcible possession
taken of the city of Algiers. The reason
for this action was found in the injuries
inflicted on French commerce, but even
more in a personal outrage on the French
Consul by the Dey of Algiers some three
years previously. Attacks and a block
ade from seward having proved inef-
%fectual, the shore expedition was resolved
upon, and In less than a month after
landing was effected the DEFY had fed to
Naples and French rule began. At first
the French ostensibly sought only salts
faction for injuries received, but in 1888
they declared their intention of retaining
the country acquired. Among the bene-
fits which their possessions conferred,
not alone on France, but on humanity in
general, was the suppression Of Algerine
piracy forever.

WISE WORDS.

When free from folly, We to wisdom
rise.
They that govern most make the least
noise.
+ The youth Of friendship is better than
its old age.
In learning by experience one must not
count the mistakes.
A good man is kinder to his enemy
than bad men are to their friends.
Kind words ore flowers that any one
al grow without owning a foot Of land.
self-wiIl is so ardent and active that ID
will break o world in pieces to make q
stool to sit on.
It is better to have o few feeble
thoughts of ones own than to be entirely
occupied with the ideas of Others.
Progress in evil is SO rapid and IN
evitable that long after one has entered
upon crime he believes himself only in a
passion.
II is at our own will whether we see
in the despised stream the refuse of the
street, or, looking deep enough, the
image of the sky.
After all, there is a vast amount of
comfort to be taken out of growing old
when one has passed the point of desir-
ing to do foolish things.
A man takes contradiction aud advice
much more easily than people think,
only he will not bear Il when violently
given, even though it be well founded.
We spoil everything by hurry. We
are wearing ourselves out as a nation
by our hurry and intensity-too eager /,
to get a living to be willing to stop to J
live.
If the sentiments lent itself as readily
as the material to chemical analysis, we
should be frightened at the quantity of
hatred and contempt that can be con-
tanned in the purest love.
knowledge must precede response
bility, therefore the ignorant are always
uniformed of the deceit practiced upon
them. It should make the educated mar
ashamed of himself to charge crime to
the defenceless ignorant, when he shields
the crime of his social equal, that knowl
edge has revealed to him.

Vassar College, the great women's in

his fancy suggested. The result was an
accumulation of goods from all quarters
of the globe, which must have given this
court the appearance of an immense
bazaar or curiosity shop. In the court
was situated also the treasury, where, it
Is said, ut the time of the French
conquest thirty-e1ght millions of
francs were found and turned into
the French Golfers. In the upper
story were long galleries Afford
Ing communication between the dey's
apartments, from which q low-walled
passage led to those of the slaves of his
harem. Their rooms faced on a small
court, the ground of which was here
level with the floor. They were shut off
from any view of the outside world, and
| could thus resign themselves entirely to
their thoughts of slavery and personal
j~ealousies, while awaiting the tyrannical
pleasure of their lord and master. As
sole recreation they were permitted to
promenade in a small garden, reached by
o labyrinthine series of passages, and
surrounded by the highest of walls. This
garden is now converted into a gymna-
SUM for the soldiers quartered in the
casbah. On the upper galleries is shown
the spot where the dey slapped the face
of the French Consul, an act which led
to the loss of his possessions.
We reach El-Biar, the village of wells,
containing nearly three thousand inhabi-
tants, which is also the village of gar
dens, of picturesque modern villas and
superb Moorish houses. Kitchen gardens
are abundant; remains of windmills are
seen, long ago replaced by steam.
A short stop at El-Biar gives the
horses a breathing spell and the viva
cious coachman an opportunity to air his
experiences. He explains how, as a
guide, he excels his confreres, who are
an ignorant lot; he himself, about forty
years old, was born in the country and
knows all about it. He is certainly a
curious mixture of a French base with an
Arab coating taken from the climate and
Che surroundings.
As we turn in leaving we catch sight
below of the level plain, the large drill
ground of the soldiery, capable of giving
room to 5000 troops on a review. Be-
hind, too, in the dim distance are the
snow capped Atlas Mountains. Leaving
the city Of Algiers and penetrating into
the country villages, the austerity of the
city disappears. The inns resort to de.
vices which would appear undignffed in
The city. There is, for instance, the
cabaret at El-Biar, whose sign is labeled
Aux deux Entetes, and carries a shield
on which q lady in green and a mule in
blue are pulling in opposite directions;
both are obstinate and the result is
doubtful.
The Arab women at home or in the
villages do not cover their faces; it is
only when they go into town that the
forehead is hidden and the inpenetrable
vail drawn over nose and chin; they as
iume this apparel, then, much as the
Parisienne dons her gloves for the prom
enade. The faces exposed to our gaze
in this Kabyle village, although n or
two were interesting, did not lead US to
the conclusions reached above
illustrated american.

that it would pay immensely. Valuable

men, only more ample still, and in their
case the whole figure and face are con.

ing only q peep hole for the eyes. See
ing nothing but these dark. gazelle like
eyes, of which extreme care is taken to
render them as large and lustrous as art

pearance of the children or of faces acct

enough exceptions can be found of beau
ty of form and figure to prove the rule
Of general ugliness.
Mosques are naturally o feature of the
city, and a visit to them serves to stimu-
late as we'll as partly to appease curiosity
regarding the Moslem religion. One Of
these, the mosque of El-Djedid, is q
prominent landmark on entering the
harbor, as, indeed. it is conspicuous in
almost any view of the city, on account
of its tall minaret, its large and elegant
dome and spotless white walls. It is
situated at one end of the boulevard, and
covers an area of two thousand square
yards. Neither on the exterior nor the
interior are there any attempts at decora-
ton. The whole is masonwork, pure
and simple. It is after sunset as we enter
and take off our shoes to tread the mat
ting with which the floor is covered.
The interior is dimly lighted by many
small night lights, giving a rather pretty
effect in themselves, but entirely in
sufficient for purposes of illumination.
The interior is ~singularly bare. Chief
among the mosques is the Great Mosque
In the Rue de la Marine, the most i'm
p~ortant, as il is almost the oldest in AL
giers, dating, it is stated, from the
eleventh century. But they are all dis
appointing. There is little to interest in
the simple service. The congregation
stands iii two ranks facing the mihrab or
niche, and therefore have their faces
turned toward Mecca. The mihrab
of the Imam, or Chief Priest, is paved
with tiles and adorned with plaster casts
on the wells, and usually look out

through windows on a gallery of stone
colonnade with ogival arches. The
Imam conducting the service has his
back to the devotees, his face toward
Mecca, like they. The prayers are
chanted by the priest in nasal tones, and
the congregation follows him in the great
number of curious attitudes required by
the faith.
To gain an insight into the wonderful
beauties of the country surrounding Al
giers We took a drive to the northward
and westward, with the fine modern OBJ
seryatory as an objective point. The
road Is known as that of Bouzarea via
El-Biar. The carriages and corricolos
of Algiers are generally clean and the
horses good. The drivers are easily held
to one tariff, or established rates, Of
which they must possess a printed copy.
At a brisk pace we soon leave behind US
the European part of Algiers, clean and
alive, and the Arab part, dirty and dead,
and make u exit by the Port du sahel.
Here 8 Zouave guard is stationed; the
soldiers arc conspicuous objects, with
their red baggy trousers and large tur-
ban, as they pace up and down on post,
or lean on their rifles, on which figure
the old sword bayonets. Here is one OF
the prisons of Algiers, the prisoners
being put up in tents in the bed of the
moat surrounding the Notifications. The
institution is certainly clean and cheap,
and Is said to be efficient. As we pass
through the gate ao17 ascent begins, and
stops only on reaching the observatory,
although a few level tracts intervene. AZ
we begin mounting the hills a fine view
is had of the Bay of Algiers, in which
our four white ships moored TO the mole
are prominent. The Chicago's guns

cial visit. The tricolored banner futters
at foretruck in his honor. We pause at
q bend IN the road to take in this scene
and a glance at the region roundabout.
On n of the hills is q palace of the
dey, now occupied by the captain OF
artillery. Below us is the casbah, the
citadel of the dey, which contained also
his official residence and harem. The
casbah occupies the apex Of the tri-
angle which ~inelosed the old city, and
