80 AOTUAL AFllIOA.
It is a universal custom. Further on to the right of the road, is
the (Jkamp de Mauwuvre., which contains a race-course as well as
a drill-ground for the troops.
The other drive which I took was to till west and then to the
north and east anu back to the city. I found the country very
fertile and given up to grain and the vine. The road returns by
the seacoast, where it is occasionally cut from the hills or bum oot
upon the rocks of the shore. Along this route there were frequently
little cafes and hotels for people comiug from Algiers for
fishing, hathing and general picnicking. We next pBSB the large
suburb of St. Eug~ne, where is the general French cemetery and
where very many Jews reside. There are here also many pretty
French and Spanish villas, and up upon the hill in a conspicoous
place is the Church of Notre Dame d'Afrique. This is built in a
Byzantine style of architecture and is very gay in appearance.
Within the church above the altar is a black Virgin and around
the apse the inscription, .. Notre Dame d'Afrique prie pour nous
et pour les M u88ulmans." Going on we notice several seminaries
and Cardinal Lavigerie's former country residence. Omnibuses
run out here as also in 'several other directions from the city and
at frequent intervals.
