In China firc,rackers can be purchas.
ed nt a cost Of 62 cents Ter 10. 600, al
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This is but little more than
the actual cost Of manufacture. The
straw paper used is Of the cheapest
grade The powder is also Of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably ac-
counts for so many "sizzers" in every
pack.
Most Of tho hrecraciers are made by
women and children al their homes, and
rapid workers are able Co earn from 3
50 cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents, while q novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
same as those paid the common laborer.
Besides being unhealthy, the work Of
making firecrackers is more OF less dan
