PICTURESQUE ALGIERS.

All Its Streets Are staircases, and
All Are Safe.
Here is pretty pictue of Algiers by
Frances e. Nesbitt: "Now it is pos
sible to 60 safely into even the darkest
and remotest corners, and they are
dark indeed. A first visit leaves one
breathless, but delighted-breathless,
because all the streets are staircases on
a more or less imposing scale-the
longest is said to have at least 500
steps; delightful, because at every
turn there is sure to be something un-
usual to strangers eye. The newer
stairs are wide and straight and very
uninteresting, but only turn into any
old street and follow its windings in
and out between white walls, under
arches, through gloomy passages, here
a few stairs, there gentle incline, al.
ways up and always ithe cool deep
shade leading. to the bright blue Of the
SKY above.
Being so narrow and so steep, there
are, of course, no camels and no carts.
Donkeys do all the work and trot up
and down with the strangest loads,
though porters carry furniture and
most Of the biggest things. Up and
down these streets comes an endless
variety Of figures-town and country

French soldiers, italian workmen, chill
dren in vivid colors, Jewesses with
heads and chins swathed in dark wrap.
pings.
Interesting beyond all these are tho
Arab women fitting like ghosts from
one shadowy corner to another, the
folds of their hacks concealing all the
glories of Their indoor dress, so that in
the street the only sign Of riches lies in
the daintiness Of the French shoes and
the fact that the haick is pure silk and
the little veil over the face Of a finer

FAMOUS BALLET DANCERS.

Stories OF La Taglioni, Fanny Elssler
and Lola Monies.
It has been asserted that the grand
ballet died when the famous Tagiioni
retired in 1S45. At any rate, the ballet
today is chiefly a spectacle of dress
and colored limelight. Except for a
very few performers, dancing as
high art has vanished.
There is no one now to set beside
La Taglioni, who was the queen Of the
stage. Balzac introduced her into his
novels. Even Thackeray condescended
to notice her and declared enthusiast
tically In "The Newcomer that the
"young men Of the day will never see
anything SO graceful as Taglioni in
La Sylphide'" At that time she was
the rage. Stagecoaches and great
coats were named after her.
La Taglioni owed her charm to a
wonderful lightness and grace. Her
style was rather ideal than realistic
and voluptuous, as was then the vogue.
The hideous ballet skirt Of today she
never wore, but skirt that reached
nearly to her ankles. 1t was one Of
the principles Of her father, who taught
her all she learned Of the art, that the
dancer should be modest In dress, In
movement and In expression.
Another famous master, who called
himself lie Dieu de Ia Danse," always
told his pupils to use all the coquetry
they could.
vestris, who founded the famous
vestris family, was an eighteenth CEN
fury celebrity and quite remarkably
conceited even for a dancer. There
are but three great men alive" he used
to say, myself, the Prussian Fred
erick and Voltaire." Ut is interesting
to compare Southey's remark that
male dancer deserves to be ham,
strung.) That profession Of which he
was so proud is indeed an arduous one.
Vestris used to practice for about six
hours day. A dancer must be ex-
tremely strong and supple.
A curious story is told about Fanny
Elssler, q German dancer with coal
black hair. which illustrates the ex-
treme muscular strength dancer re-
Quires. She was crossing to America
when she entered her cabin one day
and discovered thief abstracting the
jewel case which she kept hidden I'M
der her pillow. Before he could attack
her she planted her foot full in his
chest and killed him on the spot.
1t is curious that no Englishwoman
has ever achieved supreme success as
a dancer. 1t is possible, as foreigners
assert, that they lack the dramatic gift.

Testing Meters.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Now as our new city hall will soon
be started there should be set aside q
small place for testing room where
meters Of all kinds could be tested by
the city (if not already provided for)
II would be welcomed by all citizens
and no doubt by the different compa-
niles also. Complaints are often heard
some due and some undue, and many
q mind would be at rest when they
knows that for small fee their
meters could be tested at the city
testing station and the company IKE
wise could assure the consumers, "1f
you don't think your meter is correct
take 1t to the station and test It,"
Let us suppose A has meter and
claims 1t wrong. Take 1t down have
II tested by the city and If found Ger
rect let A pay for testing. If wrong
let the company be the loser and put
up new meter.

fort to Initiate the Deity.
Hiram, the Phoenician monarch,
strove to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
seven heavens-apartments-to be built
The first was constructed of glass, 500
by 500 yards, storing therein mock i'm
ages Of the sun, moon and. stars. The
second compartment of iron. 1000 by
1000 yards, was the receptacle Of pre-
cious stones, causing q terrific noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and the easement of
the Enclosure. The third chamber was
Of lead, 1900 by 1900 yards. The
fourth was Of tin, 2oo0 by 1900 yards
The fifth was Of copper, $500 by $500
yards. The sixth was of silver, 1900
by 5000 yards. The seventh was Of
gold, $500 by $500 yards, containing
precious stones, pearls and a magnifi-
cent throne. A channel of water sep
arated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splendor
of the court Of King Solomon, sur
rounded himself by the grandest con-
ceivable display Of magnifcence In
the seventh apartment was stationed q
golden bed. the corners of which were
set in pearls without value In all the
world. sparkling forth beautiful flashes
resembling lightning. which spread
wonder and terror among his subjects.
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered to
appear before Hiram, who, at a loss
as to how to reach the seven heavens
wherein the monarch presided, was
transported into his castle by the locks
OF his hair. Upon perceiying the d.
vine messenger Hiram trembled. "who
