As might be supposed, the cost of this class is higher than that of the other and runs from 3 to 6 cents a figure or from 30 to 60 cents a dozen | How the artist manages to live upon the rates is a profound mystery. The Chinese have a hippy knack of displaying all kinds of figurettes by placing them in miniature theatres, temples or pleasure-grounds. A glass box 8 by 10 by 5 inches containing diminutive trees, rocks and 25 6gures can be purchased for a dollar.

Of the five types deicilbed there are endless varieties. The poles are bamboo or solid wood. They are plain, carved, or decorated with mother of-pearl, metal, or cord. The heads are copper, brass, iron, pewter or steel, sometimes they are silvered and sometimes bronzed, lacquered or gi Handsome ones are the exception and not the rule.
