mood, and refused to give even Tie
smallest coin. At this, the artist with
drew to the other corner of the room,
forgotten. Presently he returned, hold
ing up plate with picture on it,
His friends Immediately focked around
him TO admire this work After listen
ing to their praises. he offered it for
sale TO the highest bidder. The bid
ding was spirited, and the plate was
finally sold tor large sum. Now"
said he, this money is for the widow
to whom YOU would give nothing to
save her from starving. but you would
give this sum Of money for plate with
smoke upon it :"
The plate is held over a lighted wax
candle or taper, just far enough away
to be sure that the wick does not touch 4:
if it did this. it would become greasy
Wave it steadily TO and fro so as to
