KILLED A MAN A YEAR.

A BLOODTHIRSTY BRIGAND AND GREATEST OF ALL MURDERECS.

“Kismet” Comes At Forty-five—The

Bloody Career and Horrible Tortures

of Areski--The Untamable and BGlood- thirsty Race, the African Berbers,

The most ferocious and successful brig- and and assassin that the modern world has known has just been arrested in his career of robbery, murder and abduction in the rocky defiles of the mountain coun- try adjacent on the north to the great African desert.

This country is called Kabyles, and its inhabitants are Berbers, an untamable and bloodthirsty race, descended from aboriginal Africans and claiming descent from Ham, the son of Noah.

Areski-el-Bachir (the butcher) is a wor- thy descendant of such a stock. He is now forty-five years of age, and by his own confession has, in obedience to a vow, for he isa most pious Mussulman, slain a man for every year of his life. How many more he has disposed of in the way of business he declines to state.

He is about five feet ten inches in height, well made and sinewy. His fing- ers are long and tapering and have a marked resemblance to the talons of a bird of precy. His feet are arched and small, his forehead high but retreating, and thickly seamed with wrinkles. His eyes are piercing when aroused, but at rest are veiled and somnolent, like those of most Orientals. In fact, his counten- ance has many characteristics of the wild creatures of the rocks and woods.

In ancient times the Jand of Egypt was subject to invasion and conquest by these flerce and relentless mountaineers, and mural paintings, monuments and pictur- ed papyri have preserved the forbidding and fierce figures of these dark-skinned robbers. Their original names of ‘‘ May- zgi,’’ or ‘‘Madgi,’’ or ‘‘Mahzy,’’ were handed down in their legends as demons and evil Jins under the name of ‘‘ Mazi- keon,’’ and were used by mothers to frighten naughty children.

The robberies of this modern Barabas recall the exploits of Kobin Hood and Fra Diavolo, save that they are unrelieved by a tinge of chivalry.

At the head of a band of twenty-five robbers Areski has terrorized all Kabyles, and set at defiance the forces sent against them by the French Colonial Government. His men are as murderous as himself. All but one are im the vigor of life; they are from twenty to forty years of age, and extremely secretive. Wrapped in their burnous, a flowing robe, silent and im- movable, they wait their prey. They have slain, robbed and cheated, but, strange to say, only their own compat- riots, for there is no record fof any white man having been molested by them, and for this reason they look upon the interfer- ence of strangers as uncalled for and un- fair.

Areski has been many times caught, and even sentenced, but until now has weontrived tw escape by the aid of false witnesses. Unfortunately for him he committed the grave error of murdering aman ‘‘witha pull.’’ His last victini, an Arab sheikh, Abdul-Reschid by name, held friendly relations with the French Governor-General of Algeria. While car- rving the tribute of several native vil- lages to Algeria, he was captured, robbed of the money and put to death with hor- rible torture. He was beaten with rods of the thorny hibiscus common to the coun- try, his hands and fect were cut off, his tongue torn out by the roots, and, to finish all, his eyes were put out and he was stabbed to death with a hundred wounds. The Colonial Government at once sent an overwhelming force of native police and French military to capture El Bachir and his band.

The strange discovery was made among the effects of Areski’s camp of a well thumbed copy of the Koran. A richly carved and gilt rosery, such as is used by dervishes, was also taken from the bosom of his dress, so that it does not appear that this tiger of the desert did not con- sider that his life of murder and robbery in any wise endangered his passage of the bridge ‘‘At Sirat,’’ finer than a hair, over which the true believer in Islam must walk bare-footed to Paradise, or, falling from which, by reason of the weight of his sins against the faith, must drop headlong into the embrace of hell.

Notwithstanding his crimes Areski found favor and assistance with the very people among whom he murdered and robbed. This was owing to his undaunted bravery and the report that his body was impervious to ordinarily weapons, and that his life could be only taken by means of a silver bullet consecrated with mysterious ceremonies to ‘‘Azrael,’’ the angel of death, and to ‘‘Eblis,’’ the mon- arch of hell. A few years ago Areski was a porter on the quays of Algiers. Having committed a robbery upon a fellow work- man he fled to his native village, where he assembled a band of villains over whom he established complete mastery.

One day three of his band gave into his hands a sum of 700 francs, which they had stolen from a traveler. The next day, learning that the traveler was a yenerable marabout of Soummam, —he hastened to restore the stoler money and slew the principal robber. From that time forth the name of Areski was res- pected by the most influential marabouts, and the wise men of the country declared that he was under the special protection of the Prophet.

One day, at a family fete, Areski as- sembled at Bou-Hini, his native village, all the natives of the country. More than a thousand guests were present at a festi- val where the Nautch-Wallahy or dancing girls, displayed their most fascinating graces and gathered more than two thous- and francs from the spectators, which they dutifully handed over to the bandit chief. It was owing to thé excess committed on this occasion that he and his band were captured at the moment they were about to eseape.

Being tried and condemned to death, the robber-assassin and his band display- ed the brutish resignation that distin- guishes the Berber at his last gasp. The faith of Islam ineulcates the belief that every man’s ‘‘kismet,’’ or destiny, is writ- ten upon his forehead by the finger of Allah, and that no efforts of his can change it. Consequently when his time comes the Mussulman wraps his head in his mantle and awaits death imperturb- ably, murmuring ‘ Ailah-il-Allah, Mu- hammad resoul Allah,’’ which he believes to be the shibboleth or password which will admit him into the gates of Paradise.

Thus during his trial, when the Presi- dent of the Assizes put the usual ques- tions, Areski replied, ‘‘The dead speak not."’ And from that moment till the fatal sentence was prononced, like Iago, **he never ;

ODD FORMS OF MONEY.

Straw Mats, Shells and Other Primitive Mediums of Exchange.

In the Portuguese possessions of Ango- la, before the year 1604, the circulating medium consisted of small mats woven from a species of straw, and which the natives called libongos. Each libongo re- presented a value of five reis. The sub- stitution of copper coin for this curious straw money came near bringing about @ revolution, and was the cause of the death of many. As a melium of the trade among the aborigines of California, sea- ears of abalone (Haliotides) have been highly esteemed both for their beauty and their importance when used as _ shell mopey, the shells in the latter case being cut into strips of from one to two inches in length, according to the curviture of the shell, and =bout one-third as wide as long. These were strung an a string and used both as money and ornaments. The string bore thc name of uhl-o or aulone. As an illustration of the purchas- ing power of an abalone, it may be stated that in New Mexicoa house has been traded for a single shell.

From the reign of Henry I. down to the period of the establishment of the bank of England, the legal tender money of Eng- land was fabricated out of wood. This instrument was called an exchange tally, and, by virtue of it, the holder was en- titled to receive from the crown the value prescribed thereon. It really consisted of one half of a four-sided rod, or staff, on which, when in its entire state, the sum it purported to represent was carved in transverse notches, varying in width for thousands, hundreds, scores, pounds, shil- lings and pence. For the advantage of those who could read the sum was writ- ten in ink on two opposite sides of the staff, and finally, with a knife and mal- let the staff itself was split in two longi- tudinally. One half, called the tally, or check, was given to the person for whose service it was intended; the other half, called the counter tally, was laid up for safe keeping until its corresponding tally should be brought in by the person who had last given value for it.

Its intrinsic value was, of course, only that of the wood of which it was compos- ed, but, by representation, it denoted large sums. It was a current token of real money and served actually to distribute it from man to man by this exchange.

From this primitive tally was derived the |

exchequer bill, first introdced in 1695 by Mr. Montague, the chancellor of the ex- chequer. The word ‘‘bill,’* too, was no doubt derived from the old French fbille, which means a staff. Bank post bills and bills of exchange in our own day come from the same wooden base, and soldiers in England are still saic.to be **billeted,’’ because formerly they tender- ed wooden ‘‘billes’’ for tallies to the vic- tualers upon whom they were quartered. In olden times officers of the army who were taken into the King’s own pay were said to be put on the staff—that is, they were paid with exchequer tallies, or wooden money.—London Public Opinion.

IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE.

f <» ons ee oe ee Modern Literature Filled With Reference to the Great Book.

Take this matter of ignorance of the Bible. Recent statistics show that it exists, toan extent inconceivable to any person a generation ago, in-college stud- ents. And this ignorande is disclosed not in attempted religious instruction, but in the study of the ordinary branches of a literary education in our universities and colleges. The pupils are entirely unable to understand a great mass of illusions in the masterpieces of English poetry and prose. Some of these pupils are victims of the idea that the Bible should not be read by the young, for they will be preju- diced in a religious way before their minds are mature enough to select a reli- gion for themselves. Now, wholly apart from its religious and from its ethical value, the Bible is the one book that no intelligent person who wishes te come in- to contact with the world of thought and to share the ideas of the great minds of the Christian era can afford to be ignor- ant of. All modern literature and all art are permeated with it. There is scarcely a great work in the languages that can be fully understood and enjoyed without this knowledge, so fullis it of illusions and illustrations from the Bible. This is true of fiction, of poetry, of economic and of philosophic works, and also of the scientific and even agnostic treatises. It is not at all a question of religion, or the- ology, or of dogma, it is a question of general intelligence. A boy or a girl at college, in the presence of the works set for either to master, without a fair kow- ledge of the Bible, is an ignoramus, and is disadvantaged accordingly. It is in it- self almost a liberal education, as many great masters in literature have testified. It has so entered into law, literature, though the whole modern life of the Christian world that ignorance of it is a most serious disadvantage to the student.

How this is to be overcome in our ma- chine system is a grave question. It re- sults partly from the discontinuance of the use of the Bible in the public schools, but more especially from the change in the estimation in which it is held in the family. In comparison with its position in the family a generation ago, it is now a neglected book. It is neglected as litera- ture. There are several suggestions for reviving interest in it. One of them is already in operation in Sunday school work. Another is its study as literature in the schools and colleges. But we be- lieve that the change will only come effectively by attention to the fundamental cause of this ignorance, the neglect of its use in the home in childhood. If its great treasures are not a part of growing childhood, they will always be external of the late possessor. In the family is where this education must begin, ana it will then be, as it used to be, an easy and unconscious education, a stimulus to the imagination, and a ready key to the great world of tradition, custom, history, litera ture.—Harper’s Magazine.

Shaving Set to Music,

The latest thing in barber shops isa musical box which the boss of the estab- lishment regulates to suit the times. On Monday, for instance, he keeps the ma- chine up to light opera airs just fast enough to keep his assistants shaving customers at 4 nice steady gait. Tuesday being a quiet day in the barber shop, ‘Home, Sweet Home’’ and ‘You'll Re- member Me’’ are good enough. Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday the barber com- fines the musical box to popular selections of a rather lively nature, On Saturdays he puts the reels and jigs on top, and every barber in the house is on the run. —Philadelphia Call.

Dairymen, Attention |

Of the Cheese and Butter Factories in operation in 1894, we furnished, to the satisfaction of all concerned, the necessary apparatus for the following:—Winsloe, Hampton, Tryon, Crapaud, Grand River, Dunk River, Mount Stewart, and Vernon River Bridge.

In the summer of 1894 we made nine Cheese Vats (each holding from 650 to 700 gallons of milk), and two Butter Vats (each everaging 400 gallons of milk); no complaints were made— satisfaction given.

From our large experience in the ne we are now better than ever prepa to meet the wants of Dairymen. We guaran- tee satisfaction, and respectfully solicit the patronage of those who are contemp lating the erection of Cheese or Butter Ftories.

Our make of Vats is superior to all others, and our fifteen and twenty gallon Cans are the best and cheapest in the pro. vine.

Terms to suit puchasers,

M. STEVENSON
