Placards were put up in the public streets, which
showed that a movement was on foot for drawing

all the Christians of the place. These facts give
US glimpse under the surface of Mahometan polit-
lcal society. Their festival of the Mohurrum pass

expressed. Of'

lar ceremony which took place near the town on

lucy nave CHOSEN for that purpose portion of the
beach, the most dangerous in the vicinity. WIN

tnere to break the force of the wave which even in
me weather rolls high and strong. Still here the
Basques bathe once every August They como
here In bands from their villages, all wearing a
costume peculiar to the occasion-white Jacket and
Whlte pantaloons for the men, the women also all
IN white, while both sexes wear head dresses
OF flowers and ribbons The deputation from
each village is preceded by a band of Musicians
using queer instruments, something in form
IKE an ancient Tyre. The women walk along
IN the centre, singing monotonous song or chant
to the sound of the instruments and at intervals
taxing each other by the hand, they dance sort of
jig or quick step. Thus accoutred and thus dane
ing ana singing, they walk into the water. Re-
naming some time among the waves they come ont
dripping wet, and then commence dancing on the
peach, staying there all day long. The appearance
OF these people is picturesque, and their annual
ceremony quite original, to say the least of it.
