House Of Retired Wives.

One OF the most interesting houses
we saw In Alglers was the House Of
the Retired Wives"
Il stands directly opposite the Cath.
ole cathedral, which was once the pal
ace Of the hey; and the House Of the
Retired Wives IS now occupied by the
archbishop
When the hey was supreme in Al
gers, before the Intervention Of France,
the palace contained several hundred
wives And as new ones were fire.
quently added, old ones had to be re
tired. So as a wife became superhu-
ous or undeslred, for any reason, she
was sent across the street, where she
had much more freedom than In ths
bey's palace; for there she was sup
posed to keep to her own apartments
ana not wander about at will. In the
House OF the Retired Wives she could
move about at will.
She left all jewels and valuable pres
ents which the hey had bestowed upon
her in the palace for her successors,
but she was fed and clothed until she
died In her new Unconstitutional Maya

Evidently we must not believe ais
that we have read OF Beau Brummel
There were stories that he appeared IN
"a dove colored coat and white satin

lists to make his gloves. a special ex-
pert being assigned to the thumbs. snd
that he had three hairdressers who spe-
cialized. so to speak. on the different
parts Of his head. All these stories. II
seems. are fiction. according to Leon n.
vincent's "Dandies and Men of Let
ters:"
simplicity and unobtrusive elegance
were his ideals. To attract notice by
conspicuousness In dress was In his
opinion the most notifying expert
ence that a gentleman could have.
Byron told Leigh Hunt that there was
nothing remarkable In Rrummels
dress except a certain exquisite pro
priety. From which It may be inferred
that his reforms were OF sensible
sort"

Is the criminal 50 because he wantA

met a criminal who did not hate his

his victim exasperated him TO It. He
has robbed society because society
made war on him. The offender hates

WEIRD TALE OF The SEA.
When Death w. Cheated by a Ropes
End In a Raging Gale.

When Death w. Cheated by a Ropes
End In a Raging Gale.
Few living men have ever looked
death so square I'm the face as a Ger
tain Captain Hodson who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu. Before that he
was shipmaster, and the remarkable
adventure Of which he was the hero
occurred while he was I'm command OF
a schooner that traded in the Pacific.
On this occasion the vessel was sew
eral days out from land, In the midst
Of the ocean. when it was Overtaken
by a severe gale and thick weather
For a time Captain HOdson tried to
keep the schOoner's head up into the
wind, but the storm became so violent
that there was nothing for it but to
run before the gale. He brought the
vessel about and. pursued by a heavy
following sea, scudded it under almost
bare poles to the nOrthward.
The captain himself stood by the
wheel to give the helmsman direc-
tons. The rest Of the crew, having
made everything as secure as possible.
were crouched in the lee Of the deck
house.
A flaw in the wind took the schooner
aback for a moment and in that in
slant a tremendous wave that was fol-
lowing close behind mounted over the
bulwarks and swept several feet deep
from stern to bow.
Every one but the captain had some
thing at hand to cling to, although the
wave wrenched the man at the wheel
from his hold and threw him on his
face. However. he brought up against
the deck house and scrambled to his
feet just in time to see the rushing
water carry Captain Hodson over
board.
HOdson's case was as nearly hope
less as 1t could we'll be. for 1t was, Of
course. quite impossible to put out a
boat I'm such a sea or even to bring the
schooner about to pick him up. But at
the very moment that the catastrophe
happened the ropes that held the gan
Of the foremost in place broke and let
the stick drop to the deck. One end
hung out over the side OF the schOon-
er, and several broken ropes dangled
from it. As Captain aodsOn swept by
these rope ends struck him on the
head. Instinctively he seized one OF
them and chung to 1t with desperation.
The schooner tore on through the
water. and her master at the end OF
the dangling rope was drawn In close
under her bulwarks and dragged along
through the waves. He could not have
long wlthstood this sort Of treatment,
for the sea beat him about fiercely and
flung him again and again against the
side Of the vessel.
But presently a gust Of wind lurch-
ed the schooner well over. her lee rail-
plunged beneath the water, and at the
same instant another wave picked the
captain up and tossed him sprawling
on the sloning deck. Battered as he
was. he had enough strength left to
seize the standing rigging and cling to
It. while the water poured back again
into the sen.
The helmsman had seen Captain
lIodson swept away TO death, as he
firmly believed. and his establishment
at seeing him back again on deck may
be imagined. Hodson was not seri
ously injured by his experience, and
his vessel weathered the storm and
brought her cargo safe into port
