Ears rs Cigar Holders.

The women of Burmah, like the smokers of
Siam, use their ears as cigar holders, but they
use them in different way. Every Burmese
girl prides herself on the size of the hole she
can make in the lohes of her ears, and have
seen Burmese ears which had holes in them
as big around as napkin ring. These holes
are made when the girls are young, and the
lobe both stretches and grows until it gets as
big around as the thumb of big boned man.
Into these holes some of the poorer women of
Burnah put their cigarettes and cigars when
they move from one place to another.
Cigars are more used than anything else,
and the Burmese cigar is the biggest of its
kind in general use. 1t is from eight to ten
inches long, and Is often more than an inch
In diameter. The Plrnese women are very
beautiful, and even their big cigars cannot
take away the beauty of their juicy red lips
They make the mouth look a little large while
they are in them, but it resumes its natural
size when the young lady, holding her cigar
between her two first fingers blows the smoke
out in a stream 1t Is not unusual for Bur
mese maiden to make her lover a bundle of
cigars as a present during their courtship,
and some Of the best Of the Burmese i'm
ported cigars are made by women.-Letter in
