He was a builder as well as a fighter, and the noblest period of Arab art in Morocco and Spain coincides with his reign. After his death, the Almohad empire followed the downward curve to which all Oriental rule seems destined. The Beni-Merins or Merinids were nomads who ranged the desert between Biskra and the Tafilelt. It was not a religious upheaval that drove them to the conquest of Morocco.
Furunculus orientalis, or its synonyms, Oriental boil, Aleppo boil, Delhi boil, Biskra button, etc., is a local disease occurring chiefly on the face and other uncovered spots, endemic in limited districts in hot climates, characterized by the formation of a papule, a nodule, and a scab, and beneath the last a sharply punched-out ulcer.
You haven't even that of ordinary brotherly affection, for you have never given me any, so you cannot expect it from me. We needn't make any pretence about it, I am not going to argue any more. I will not go back to Biskra." "If you are afraid of being laughed at " he sneered; but she took him up swiftly. "I am not afraid of being laughed at.
"Here are the witnesses," said Abdullah, "ready to be Christians." "It is not necessary," said the priest, "if they can make their mark; that is all that is required."

Sanda, with Captain Amaranthe and his wife, travelled to Oran, thence to Biskra, and from Biskra on the newly finished railway line to Touggourt.

That would be something new. Biskra is so commonplace now that it has been discovered and exploited." She went on, with a deep, wistful note of plaintiveness in her voice, "But everything's so commonplace now!" and added, "There's Java. I've never been to Java."

"Where did you see her?" asked Saint Hubert curiously. "In the streets of Biskra, for five minutes, four months ago." The Vicomte turned quickly. "You love her?" he shot out, with all the suddenness of an American third degree. The Sheik exhaled a long, thin cloud of blue smoke and watched it eddying towards the top of the tent. "Have I ever loved a woman?
"And why do you go to Biskra?" asked Abdullah. "My father sends me," said the girl, "to a great lady who lives there. Her name is Mirza. Do you not know her, since you lived in Biskra?" Abdullah did not answer. Something suddenly went wrong with his saddle, and he busied himself with it.
