THE church-seat, or sedilium, of which the engraving below is
T an illustration, was carved at the Cincinnati Woman's School
of Wood-Carving. This school is one of the many recent outcomes
throughout the country of the effort to open new branches of indus
try for female labour. The church-seat of which we give an en
graving was made for a church in Cincinnati. Its character is Gothic, in keeping with the chuirch-edifice. The centre-panel design is the passion-flower; the panel to the right contains palm-branches, that at the left the almond. The length of the seat is six feet, the
height of the panels about seven feet six inches from the floor.

Amserican Wood-Carving.
The design was made by Mrs. Henry L. Fay, the superintendent of
the school. The Cincinnati School of Wood-Carving has been in
operation about three years, and has already led to the foundation
of schools for the same purpose in other cities. Its success, con
sidering the short time it has been in operation, is noteworthy, and
affords proof not only of the readiness of the women of our land to
take up new industries, but the facility with which they accommo
date themselves to new conditions, and the prevailing need that
exists for new channels and improved opportunities for industry.
Wood-carving has been adopted, however, not only as a new
industry, but by many ladies of leisure as an agreeable- recrea
tion.
