Beard and Mustache Defended.

DR.. Arjan Das, in the Indian Med!-
cal Journal, deplores the fashion for
cropped hair which Is gaining In India.
He says hair Is an additional orna-
ment for rich woman, and often the
OILY ornament Of the poor. The shay
Ing of mustache and the epIation Of
nasal hairs Is bad, as they prevent the
Introduction of even minute particles
Of dust entering the nose. Worse still
Is the increasing practice of shaving
the beard, as this protects the throat
and binders dental neuralgia. Shaving
has become the fashion both with
Hindus and Mohammedans, though q
bearded man among the latter is
shown more respect.

Behind barbed wire entanglements
and heavily barricaded doors, Rev. G.

months has been besieged in his home
in the heart of London.
Nine stalwart detectives, working
in eight-hour shifts Of three days and
night, are the besieging force.
Last Christmas Rev. Borril refused
TO pay a tax levy imposed BY the
Socialist Borough council Of Islington.
because. he said. he was an opponent
of Socialism and didn't have enough
to meet the levy, anyway.
Unable TO seize his property. the
council got an order for his arrest.
Then the siege began. Since detectives
cannot force entry into a house under
British law. they only chance Is to
seize the clergyman when he comes
out.
Thus far. Il has cost the council
$4,000 to maintain the siege And
