Houses Without Backs and Quaint
 Windowless Cottages.
 One who has penetrated this contin- ent no further than Algiers cannot pos sibly understand why it was called Darkest Africa" It is more brilliant than the City of Light itself and is ex- ceptionallly beautiful as viewed from the harbor. zes5s g
 It is an upright city dts merchants are not all build to correspond), occupy ing the face of 8 precipitous hill or mountain. It rises straight from the blue Mediterranean. Some of the houses actually have no backs, tall houses at that. -. ;g. s.5~s They have fronts and sides, the hill forming a ready made beck. Therefore sea front rooms are available all the way from the boulevard to, the very top of the equilateral triangle at the summit of which is the kasbah, or an cient fortress of the Deys.
 Such picturesqueness!
 The sapphire sea, the great group of stucco buildings, mostly of cream color, the mass of rich greenery at, the top and the softly blue sky above. With these are the blended colors that come out more clearly with every step. Some of the buildings are delicate pink some oyster gray and many are orna- mented with richly tinted tiles.

These are of many sorts. There are the great buildings along one side of
 the water front boulevard, palatial ho-
 tels far up the hills, fascinating villas
 behind walls hidden among blossoms
 and trees, picturesque mosques and the |quaint windowless houses of the old
 town. These square houses forever fascin- ate. perhaps because it amounts to talk ling ones life in ones hands to explore them and the old quarter generally,
 The natives as seen here, are certainly
 g murderous, dirty, diseased looking lot and it's a wonder that those of us who E exist in terror of germs at home ever Hive through these explorations.
 No sunshine penetrates into many of the houses, which consist of one dark,
 damp room, with one opening, and no other door or windowst Such house
 fronts on a street so narrow and steep as to forbid visit in carriage. and from 1t diyerge other streets which are
 but dark, narrow steep flights of stone stairs that twist and turn most bewiI- deringly. ~
 h these one may see public scribes,
 workers in wood and basketry, but
 more idlers and players with dirty cards. Beggars, oftenshorribly defornl- ed, are at every turn. They follow one lpersistently--old men smelling in way to haunt one, and children hissing con- stantly, "Merci, madam, merci!" The fact that they receive not a single coin has nothing to do wit htheir long re- Ipeated thanks. as An occasional glimpse of the beauti- | ful sea from these squalid haunts
 makes it all the more lovely by com trast. ..' &o't Dark hued, picturesquely clad men, leach with tiny donkey hidden under immense panniers, clean these streets, which are too complicated to acconino- date camel, even if this ship of the desert were allowed in the city.
 A primitive broom and shovel are 1 the street cleaners weapons. One Ishudders at the dust raised by the broom, and again at the savage way the man pounds the swwepings down the panniers, threatening to annihilate Ithe diminutive beast. The donkey goes down the steps trembling. Often he | is too heavily laden to budge going up l in which case the man pushes him. Correspondence Philadelphia Record.

 As the moon peeps above the range we watch it rise higher and higher. Slowly the great red orb rises until it seems to rest on the mountains crest. Only for a moment, and then 1t swings clear and sails majestically, high up into the Armament, As it rises the line of shadow retreats up the mountain and the light chases hard after. Soon the whole mountain side shines out ahead Of us and now we are riding in a sea of limpid light. We break the sil- ence with song. Jack is famous camp singer, and now the notes of Beautiful Isle of the Sea" and Dublin Bay are waited forth upon the silence of the night. Joe also regales us with some of his Mexican love songs, and as every one feels the spell of the moment I join in with Way Down Upon the Suwanee River" When the mountains are reached how quickly the whole scene changes! .......' e
 We enter a lofty canon, dark and chilling, where the moonlight scarcely penetrates, and into its gloomy depths We ride once again strangely silent. At last, when the heart of the mountain is reached, we halt. There was once a green thicket here, but now only a clump of blackened, burned trees, which the Indians have fired. greet us. But there is water and we take the saddles from the horses, hopple and turn them loose to graze, and make our beds and lie down to sleep in onesof the most gloomy and cheerless of places,

UNTRIED PRISONERS IN ENG. < I~... x., LAND. . x.

The long detention of untried prison-
 ers-all evil to which attention has re-
 peatdly been drawn in this column
 remains serious blot on the adminis- |tration of the criminal law. The crim-
 final statistics for 1902, which have just
 been published, show that 108 prisoners tried at assizes lay in jail over sixteen weeks before they were brought to trial, and that no fewer than twenty were found to be innocent. As Sir John Mac
 donald points out in his able introduc- tion to the volume, "confinement before trial is a hardship for prisoners ulti- mately convicted. who are kept in sus- pense, and whose previous confinement may or may not be sufficiently taken Unto account irl their sentences. It is
 peculiar hardship to those in the end acquitted, who lose wages and their employment, it may be, and who under Ithe English law receive no compensa- l ton. Nor is this the only way in which l the long detention of untried prisoners works injustice" I Prison life for sixteen weeks is cal- tculated to unfit an innocent man for l the ordeal of ross-eXamlnation at his ltrial. Protests against the evil have
 been made without number. As long lago as 1851 George Fox wrote: 'I laid
 before the judges what a hurtful thing lit was that prisoners should be long in jail, showing how they learned badness of one another in talking of their bad l deeds, and therefore speedy justice should be done" Justice Wright has described the long imprisonment of ac- icused persons before trial as an outrage and disgrace to the country" The l bar council, which has rightly attrib- iuted this evil to the long and regular l intervals between the assizes, has said Tt is a public disgrace that innocent men should be imprisoned three, four I and five months without trial' Surely i it is high time that some effort was made to improve a system that can
 yield such results. Nearly five years lhave passed since MT. Balfour announc, led in the houseof commons that the
 |lord chancellor would shortly make

One of the most beautiful memorial
library buildings in the country has
recently been finished in the Hyde
Park section of Chicago. 1t stands
at Lake avenue and Forty-ninth street,
with it's main entrance on Lake ave-
nue.. The building has been erected
by Mrs. T. B. Blackstone in memory
Of her husband, for many years presi-
dent of the Chicago and Alton Railway,
the total cost being $250,000. Built
of gray Concord granite, in size 11O
feet long by 60 feet wide, of Ionic
style of architecture, with vestibule,
columns and interior finish of selected
statuary marble, having ornamental
solid bronze doors, and adorned with
decorative paintings which stand for
literature, the fine arts, science and
labor, the building is literally a crea-
ton of beauty. The furniture is
wholly of mahogany and was specially
designed. Every convenience for the
operation of the library and for the
comfort of its patrons that refined
taste and ample means could suggest
has been provided. The book stacks
are intended to hold 0,00O volumes.
The acceptance of this Gift nv the
city of Chicago as a branch library
marks the beginning of a new feature
of library administration in that city.
Thus far Chicago has been content
to rely wholly for the outlying distri-
button of books upon delivery stations
Books are not kept at these stations
The stations are solely for the delivery
and exchange of the volumes which
are ordered by title from the main

BERKELEY LIBRARY BUYS
A SWEDISH COLLECTION

The free public library stands en-
phaucally for the use Of all the people
IN the community where il is located.
A wise recognition Of this fact is seen
in The recent purchase by the Berkeley
Public Library Of a collection OF works
Of Swedish literature for the special
use Of large number of Swedish fam
HES residing in the southern end
Of Berkeley. The books are all stan
dard works and include histories. BIZ
Ographies. stories, travels and volumes
Of folklore and poetry.
on the san Francisco Public Lii
brary shelves are many works in the
German, French, Italian and Spanish
languages. Nearly three per cent of
the entire circulation of the library
last year was OF German and French
fiction A large portion of these,
however, was read for culture pur-
poses by English-speaking persons.
The Chicago Public Library pro-
vides literally for the reading Of the
different nationalities of that city. In
the German collection are 22, 900 vol
umes; French, TO- 900 volumes; Scan
dinavian, $500 volumes; Bohemian,
1000 volumes, and smaller representa-
tions each OF Hungarian, Polish,
Spanish and Italian. II seems but sim
pie justice that public Libraries which
are supported by general taxation
should supply reading matter for the
use OF the foreign-born citizens who
late in life are unable to acquire pro-
ciency in English reading.

A formal order Of commitment to the

Neterer said that he had noticed

he is not really guilty of the crime for
which he is about to suffer. The Judge
said he would examine the statement.
