Hindu Barber Kept Busy.

The Hindu halrcutter is an lndiyid.
hal OF immense Importance In India,
and rs his duties are many, lie is
in constant demand. At birth the
Hindu barber is the man employed to
carry the eyentful news to the various
family relatives, whilst at funeral
he shayes the heads of the living
and the dead.
The Hindu haIrcutter has no shop
and, unlike our BARRIERS, lie displays
no poles, signs or symbols. He can
be seen strolling along near the ba-
Zars with a small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag.
At all religious rites, he Is to be
observed: he bores the girls ears
anu noses for the various rings which
are worn; and, in fact, the busy Hindu
barber will undertake almost any
surgical operation.
Besides births and deaths, he at
tends marriages. At wedding this
busy barber is best man."

Mo Lead In Lead Pencil.

The word pencil originally meant a
small fine brush. such AS artists still
use under the same name, but II now
chiefly denotes the black-leaG wood
cased pencil and its varieties. Lead
pencil Is misnomer, because there
is no lead about 1t. The case Is wood
or paper, and the substance that makes
the mark is graphite, also called plum
bago. from the latin word pumbum,
Lead. This Is the only connection the
substance had with lead, because 1t Is
q form Of carbon, and It's one of the
softest minerals known.

He had been nominated for the Office

turned over to the bank sufficient funds
TO make up the difference between the

his sister decided to the bank and the

democratic conference and has not
seen fit to initiate any reservations.
The fact that Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.
Wilson are to have conference caused
interest in the treaties to remain at a
high pitch in the Senate to-day. though
there was no formal consideration OF
them. Speculation is rife whether a
conference with Mr.. Wilson, who at
times can be very persuasive, will serve
to shift Senat6r Hitchcock's position.
If 1t should do so it might have q
marked effect on the Democratic side
by reason of the prominence of Sena~
tor Hitchcock in foreign relations mat
ters
1t was generally assumed that SEN
ator Hitchcock would adhere to his
first decision to vote for the treaties
The possibility is recognized. however.
that this might not keep him and other
Democrats who will vote for the treaty
from lining up for proposed rcserva-
tions.
Senate leaders said to-day they ex-
October Is, at the latest, and possibly
on October IA, which is the day when
debate viii be limited.
Few more extended speeches on the
treaties are expected. Senators Borah,
Reed, LaToilette and King will make
speeches against tho German treaty.
The number of reservations offered, it
is predicted, VIII be fewer than orgi-
naIly supposed. At least one Demo
cratic Senator who proposed to intro
duce several reservations has given
them up.
Leaders said they were more fully
satisfied than ever Of ratification by a
decisive vote and of the defeat OF
reservations not sanctioned by the
Foreign Relations Committee.
