NATIVE POPULATION OF ALGIERS. fPHE term Moor is unrecognised by the many thou I- sand natives of Algiers whom Europeans indicate by that word. According to their own phraseology they are simply Arabs of the town, children of El Djezair, or, in English, Algerines -a term certainly more appropriate to a people whose ancestors may in some cases have been Spanish Moors, but who, for the most part, are descendants of Arabs, Berbers, Turks, Christian slaves, and Spanish or Italian renegades. Yet, withal that varied ancestry, this mongrel race, whom we call Moors, are characterised by similar tastes, manners, habits, dress, and looks. Generally handsome, and with a fair but colourless complexion, the Moor's large dark eyes and regular features are mostly characterised by an expression mild to effeminacy. Fond of dress and of brilliant colours, he always arrays his somewhat portly person in as costly a manner as his means permit. Indolent The Arab name for Algiers. THE MOOR. 21 by nature, he never in any grade of life engages but in some sedentary occupation. If belonging to the upper classes, he keeps a stall in a bazaar or native street, where, quite indifferent to the absence of customers, he smokes, drinks coffee, and chats with passing friends. The greatest effort which he makes, is to jog placidly along to his country garden, seated on a broad well-cushioned saddle, borne by a quiet mule. Every act, look, and attitude of the Moor Indicates his love of ease. The occupations of the Moor in a humble rank of life are very limited in number. He embroiders jackets, vests, girdles, purses, shoes and trappings for horses. He makes silk laces, trinkets, and earthenware jars, which he embellishes with coloured streaks in a peculiar manner.
