One of the most interesting houses
we saw in Agiers was the House OF
the Retired Wives"
II 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 superfiu-
oIs or undesired. for any reason, she
was sent across the street, where she
had much more freedom than In the
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
ants which the hey had bestowed upon
her In the palace for her successors.
Duo she was fed and clothed until she
died In her new hOme.-NatiOnal Maya

Comparatively few people thoroughly
realize what a delicate and sensitive
structure the human ear really Is. That
which we ordinarily designate so Is,
after all, only the outer porch OF a
series OF winding passages which. like
the Hobbies Of a great building. lead
from the world without to the world
within. Certain Of these passages con
tain liquid. and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor Of different places
and can be thrown into vibrations or
made to tremble like the head Of a
drum OF as the surface OF a tambOu.
rlne does when struck with a stick or
with the fingers. Between two or three
parchment-like curtains a chain OF very
small bones extends. which serves to
tighten or relax these membranes and
TO communicate vibrations to them. In
the innermost place Of all a row Of
white threads. called nerves, stretches
Ike the strings OF a piano from the
last point TO which the tremblings or
thriilings reach and pass inward to
the brain.

According to the Moorish idea a.
beauty, the chief charm OF a beautiful
woman IL that she can only waddle.
not walk. The fatter she is the more
beautiful she Is considered. If she can
attain two or three hundred pounds OF
flesh she is the envy Of all her sex.
The Moorish shape-if shape It can
be called-apprOaches the perfection OF
feminine beauty when It resembles, O.
rather exceeds, the circumference %
q barrel.
What a paradise for the fat wOmaA
There she can eat and drink and feast
to her hearts content, denying herself
nothing, living an easy, indOlent, luxuri-
Gus life. with no horror Of accumulat
ing fat, but rather rejoicing in it
There the ambition OF a woman is to
acquire bulk. Physical culture she
would regard as an enemy to beauty.
and to toke Turkish baths and dieS
herself would be considered the heighs
Of folly. She waits to be beautiful
and to be beautiful she must be fat
