Rugmnkers of Persia and Their Pay

Rugmnkers of Persia and Their Pay.
A square foot of the best Persian rug
is worth about so, and it takes a sin
gle weaver twenty-three days to com
plete this portion. This allows the
weaver about Al cents per day for her
wool and her labor. but three fourths
of this amount goes to pay for .he
wool Only II cents per day is left for
the weaver.
The wages of the producer of the in
ferior article is somewhat better. \
square foot Of an inferior rug is sold
for about 60 cents. and the time re-
qured for weaving it is but two days,
thus allowing the weaver so cents per
day for her wool and labor. She uses
inferior wool, washes but little of ii
ard pays only a nominal sum for a
cheap dye. The framework of her loom
costs comparatively little, as the rug
# produces is from twenty to thirty
times the size of the superior rug. Thus
It appears that in the long run the infe-
.ior weaver is better paid than the one
who fatigues her brain with her Hforts
to produce q rug of the best quality
rugs. Oriental and Occidental"
