British have disarmed Oudh this trader's occupation is gone. He is now

KHiaradi-—The turner, works either as a day-labourer or as a shop-
keeper. In the former ease he receives 8 as. per diem for rough work, such as
turning boxes of wheels and legs of articles of furniture, and 6 as. for the
finest work. In the latter case, via.—when he is a shop-keeper, he works
generally for native custom only, and his chief employment is making colored
legs for charpoys. The best of these are made of shisham. It costs Us. 3 to
buy as much wood as will suffice for 8 sets. These sell at Ee. 1 per set. One
seer of coloring , which comes to about Rs. 3, will suffice for 8 pairs. It will

port himself and the laborer who pulls the tasma which moves his lathe.
