Morocco for the Moors Not that they are any the better for that perhaps, but if a nation wants to krep aloof from civilisation It ought to be allowed to do so. Of course it is mean to want Australia for the Australians, but still, if the natives want it who has the right to say way?
The Moor bellers it is a mortal ala for a woman to show her face to any man except her own busbaad. When she goes out into the street she la muffled up so that only one eye is visitle. When an Arab woman is making journey on homeback, she sits like a ball of wool on a great cushion. When she falls off, as she often does, she shricks and covers up her face, but lets her legs go unheeded. They hold opposite views to our women.

It would appear that there were also combats between mas and wild beasts, as Torquemada says that at the coronation of Techells there were warriors who fought with lions and tigers "—that is, jaguars and pumas. But the form of diversion which consiliated a mode at once of exercise, pleasure and fulfillment of religious duty was that of dancing, associated as it was with almost every public function or celebration,
The dance was a rite of the religious creed of the empire, and special figures or forms were taught, peculiar each to its respective occasion or purpose. That these dances might be taught properly were established the Plaza del Volador and the Clocoran, The Plaza del Volador, as the Spaniards dabbed it, from the amurement to After considerable hymn-singing, the chief which it was masily devoted, was the space now missiones read some passages of scripture, and occupied by that picturesque, but foully dirty, offered a few words of prayer in English, and then feature of modern Mexico, the great central
