About the Burmese.

Mr.. Frank Vincent, in his charming
book OF travels, ''Pne Land Of the WniEe
has. much TO say of the msliI-
ners and customs Of this strange peo-,
pie that is very interesting. "It Is gen-
orally believed" he says, ''that the
Burmese, and indeed all the various
races and nations Of Indo-China, ,migrat-
ed al a remote period from the plateaus
OF Central Asia, and that they are Of o
mixed origin, possesslng some OF the
characteristics oil Tie ulnd00 (Cauea-
sian) and some also OF the Chlnaman
Mongol.) Thus in person they are very
short and stout, with the small oblique
eyes, high and prominent cheek bones,.
and fat, short and broad nose Of the
Tartar, Chinese aud Japanese race, and
the 'raven-blacR hair, pearly teetn, and
skin Of fhe Hindoos and the
Malays; and though0f nearly the same
stature as the latter. they generally pos
sess the st0uter frames OF the former.
The Burmese are simple-minded, I'M
dulent people, frank and c0ui teous, fond
of amusement and gay-c0lored apparel,
friendly among themselves, and hospit-.
able to strangers. They appreciate a.
Quiet life, smoking and gossiping
and sleeping throughout the day, anu
listening to wild music ana singing
through half the night; ssterr ambition
is among them, indeed, a very rare trait
or character. The costume Of the Bur-
mese is remarkably simple. Both men

Optical Illusions.

The c0mmonest instance of mirage is

which so eminent q man as 60uthey
could give credence, to the effect that
Admiral Villeneuve was assassinated

IL may be suspected that 1t was rather
