 98 PAR The Bárhai is uncommon except in taluqdari villagos, and his remunera- tion is on no fixed scale, The Chamár holds up to one bigha of land from the zamindar, while for each occasion of child birth, at which his wife attends, he receives either one or two annas. The Mehtar, unfortunately for sanitation, is far too rarely met with amongst the existing roll of village servants. Where kept, he is favoured with a pittance of from two to eight annas a month. The Manihar manufactures lac bangles, and his wife generally sells and fastens them on to the wrists of the purchasers. For the performance of this ceremony at the house of the zamindar she receives her food for the day. The Múli obtains cash presents from the zamindar on each festive occa- sion. These gifts seldom, if ever, exceed three rupees at one time, The Tamboli exists entirely by his trade and receives no perquisites. All village servants comprised in the category of parja, in addition to the jágís, presents, and allowances recapitulated above, receive on the occasion of each marriage one suit of female apparel. The custom of the country is that when a daughter is married, the bridegroom's family supplies the dress to the parja of both villages, since it rarely if ever happens that the bride and bridegroom reside in the same village. Not included in the parja, but nevertheless formerly a regular part of the vil- lage establishment was the Baya or weigher. The office is now, however, very nearly obsolete.
