Hindu Barber a Man Of Parts.

Now that the price for haircutting
has risen, which means that possibly
the barber will not be so busy in the
future, perhaps we shall find him even
tually emulating the Hindu haircutter.
The latter is an individual of i'm
mense Importance in India, and as his
duties are many, he is in constant de.
mand. At birth the Hindu barber
is the man employed to carry the
eventful news to the various family
relatives, while at funeral he shaves
the heads of the living-and the dead.
The Hindu haircutter has no shop.
and, unlike our BARRIERS, he displays
no poles, signs or symbols. He can
be seen strolling along near the ba-
zaars, with a small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag. At all re-
ligious 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 I'M
dertake almost any surgical operation.
Besides births and deaths, he at
tends marriages. At wedding, we are
told, this busy barber is best man."
The touch of this handy man, by
the way, Is exceptionally light, and
it is said that he can shave his Gus
toners while they sleep.
