Hindu Barber Kept Busy.

The Hindu liaircutter is an indiyid-
ual of immense importance in India.
and as his duties are many, he is
in constant demand. AT a birth the
Hindu barber is the man employed TO
carry the %eventful news to the various
family relatives. whilst at a funeral
he shaves the heads of the living
and the dead.
The Hindu h%aircutter has no shop,
and, unlike our BARRIERS, he 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 a little bag.
AT all religious rites he is to be
observed; he bores the girls ears
and 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 a wedding this
busy barber is best man."

There is thus a decidedly seamy

The surface explanation of the
phenomenon is perfectly clear. Ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
National City bank more sugar was
imported in the 10 months of the
fiscal year ending in April than in
the corresponding period of any pre-
vious year; moreover, the domestic
production was greater than ever be-

be simpler? Yet the mystery remains
to understand how the abrupt tran
sition from a famine to a surfeit

Capable of Displaying Sagacity
That Is Wonderful.

A correspondent having written a
letter to che Star expressing doubt
as to the truth of the story that
wolves, having chased a man up a
tree, went away and brought back a
beaver to cut down the tree for them
so they could get the man, we have
been much impressed by the number
Of witnesses, especially old timers in
New Ontario, who are sending us let
tiers tending to add authenticity to the
story.
Wild animals, these witnesses de-
clare, are strong in instinct, and work
out problems instantly which one
would suppose could only be done by
arithmetic. In one letter the writer,
who lives in the Cochrane district,
gives his theory as to the manner in
which the wolves got the beaver to
the tree. According to the story, a
dozen wolves went off on this errand.
This number was in order that they
might kill a deer, and use its hide as
toboggan on which TO haul the beav-
er to the spot and take him back again
after he had felled the tree for them.
This theory must be accepted as in

called a stylus" - which suggests
