It descends from the now obsolete art of figurehead carving for vessels in ancient llint*, and requires equally skilled workmen to properly execute the designs now used. At least twclvo or fourteen years' apprenticeship Is m smsry to becomo |>roficleut In this branch, even though poasemed of the neoeamry talent, and considering the wages paid It's little wonder no apprentices ore to be found now and that very few uwn follow It for a livelihood.

The log Is suspended borixontally between two blocks, just high enough for the carver to reach handily, lie draws with pencil tho outline of front and back of the propoeed figure, and hews it oat roughly to within half an Inch of the line. Then the log is turned over and a like proems b gone through regarding tho sides, which completed the fine work begins. The Rjarp tools are produced tho carver puts his thinking cap on, and in the course of a few days a perfectly formed and expreaslvo foe* will have modo its appearance. The rest, of course, Is easier, the most difficult part of the remaining work being the pose, fur a poor attitudo spoils the effect of the most perfect facial expression." a xi so nut $350.

"Is your demand mostly borne trade P "Jfut by any means. I hnvo plenty of repairing here, but sell very few new ones, as a figuro with moderate caro huts a lifetime. My demand is mostly from inland clUes and mostly for Indians, which will always be the substantial stand by in way of design. 1 get occasional orders for clowns, or darkies, or dudes, or some such specialty as a Pickwick or s king, but rarely.
