After visiting Monaco, Nice and Cannes, at Marseilles I took steamer to Algiers.

Barring its agreeable winter climate there is not much attraction there.

Here I was told that the marriageable Jewess is kept in a dark room, fed on rich foods and allowed no exercise; treated, in fact, as a goose for a fat liver.
So I went on to Blida, where is a French Army Remount Depot.

A large number of beautiful Arab horses were being inspected and shown by their picturesque owners.
