 nothluK for moderns to learn In the way of HHWlnic. morllslni:. miter 

 and dowel Jolnliif;. turnlne, and wheel inaklnc. It is well known that

 hlRhest Older. It was all hnndwork. of .o'trse. as machines drlv.-n liy 

 power were unknown. It Is worthy of note that some of the lln.si 

 wood inlay of the present time micIi as is seen In parlor rnrs ami In 

 slat.' rooms of the finest sleain ships, is liiiiid done. The workman now 



lias the help of mnchlnery. hut much of the pinclni; of the lilts of w I

 years when rompell workmen were producing the One pieces of furni-

 \oIcanic nshes--liin*e come down to the present time to call forth ad- 

 iiiirallon from the foremost wood artists of lod.ny.
