IN A DISTANT LAND, PIRATE RULE GIVES WAY TO PEACE AND PROSPER- ITY — MODERN [IMPROVEMENTS CROWD OUT THR* RELICS OF BARBAKISM — PICTURESQUE FEATURE ‘THAT INTEREST VISITORS. From the St, Loufs Glob:-Demoerat To read of that distant but interesting country, Algiers, as it 1 to-day, and compare it with the condition of less than one hundred years ago, shows contrasts that are extraordinary. The old saw, “History repeats itself,” seems to reveal a dedection, in this instance at least, for it would be hard to find in the present life any suggestion of the past. When looking over Algiers now from its delightful suburbs, and seeing steamers and pleasure yachts from all parts of the world an- chored peacefully in the harbor, while the blue Mediterranean beyond is dotted with the merchant ships of all nations, it 1s not easy to realize that only & few years ago the land was ruled by pirates, with the only American or English residents Chris- tan captives From the surrounding heights, now 80 altractive to visitors, the murderous na- lives watched the spreading’ sea for prey, thelr Niotims elther being put to death or turows into very. ‘The history of Algiers in a nutshell comes in ap- Propriately at this point. After the Koman civil War Algeria became a Roman province and was exceedingly prosperous, Agriculture was encour. ‘commerce ex towns sprang up, and ¢ ty flourished. During the Afth century the Romans were conquered by the V. suc ceeding which the land was the scene ot constant strie and changes of rule. Tne conse- ‘quence was that in the seventh century the people Had ‘sunk into barbarism. There was Dut little until in 150, when Ferdinand, king Spare made htunself master. Tn 1516 he died ad Arucll Barossa, a notorious ‘Turkish pirate, Uy treachery and force, acquired the rule and intro- duced the system of piracy, that was continued to as late a date a3 Bardssa was taken prisoner and Deheaded by (ue Spaniards walle in the glory Of ‘his reign, but his successors perpetuated his mong other ‘things the. pert ot Algiers, was Among other e protected by a mole that it 30,000 Cristian slaves three years to construct. Out- Tages of all kinds were carried on until the Alge- Tian pirates were feared by all the maritime puw- era. Matters Moally came to such a pass that in 1890 the French began a war ona big scale, and on July 4 Algiers surrendered. But the French ‘Were not allowed to remain undisturbed, war and massacre aged against tuem 'by hostile tribes ‘until 1871, when there was an armistice agreed upon, military rule withdrawn, and a civil government established. Since then’ peace has Prevaiied and tue advance bas been rapid. The horrors of pirate rule have been 8 The slave prisons and gates where thi dered Curistians were displayed nave been re- moved.

In the old town silence aiid mystery reign. The houses are high and Windowless, the streets mere alleys, so barrow that the eaves of the houses meet overhead, and so dark in places that a stranger feels uncertain as to his steps, Velled women and turbaned men pass to and fro.

Never uige another to do anything against his desire unless you see danger before bin. ‘Do not ask another to do what you would not be glad to do under stmilar circumstances, Never omit to perform a kind act when it can be done with any reasonable amoust of exertion. Never needlessly wound the vanity of another or dilate unnecessarily upon disagreeable subjects. ‘Do not make wituicisms at the expense of others which you would not wish to have made upon yourselves, ‘Remember that good manners are thoughts filed with kindness and refinement and then translated into behavior. ‘Be not ostentatious in dress or ts nothing can be more vulgar, See that costumes ‘ft the time and occasions.
