Curious Religious Observance Among
the Peon Indians.
Grotesaue Decorations OF Animals
Tint Figure In the Singular Ger
emoniaI Of Blessing for
st Anthony.

During March there occurs in the
remoter villages Of Mexico curious
observance now practically obsolete
elsewhere. 1t is the blessing OF the
animals in honor Of st. Anthony and

of the year by the peon Indians VINO

and tiny love birds. All in turn are
brought up to the padre. sprinkled'

the venerable saint who loved their
kind to be faithful and seryiceable.
Grotesque indeed are many OF the
candidates. A visitor not long ago
described those he noticed. some Of
which were comicsl enough to bring
a smile even TO the lips Of the padre
himself, AS he dispensed his equal
blessing upon bedizened mulea,

sounds Of Tapping, trampling,

Among the animals was one puppy
