A FEW GOLDEN RULES rOR THE OBSERVANCE OF
ALL THOSE IN POSSESSION OE A. WATClL—First
Wind your watch as nearly as possible at the same time
every day. Secondly—Be careful that your key is in
good condition, as there is much danger of injuring the
maohine when the key is worn or cracked;
there are more main-springs and chains broken
through a jerk in winding than from any other cause,
which injury will, sooner or later, be the result if the key
is in bad order. Thirdly—As all metals contract by
cold and expand by heat, it must be manifest that
to keep the watch as nearly as possible at one tempera-
ture is a necessary piece of attention. Fourthly—Keep
the watch as constantly as possible in one position,
that is, if it hangs by day, let it hang by night against
something that is soft. Fifthly—The hands of a pocket
chronometer or duplex watch should never be set back-
wards; in other watches this is a matter of no conse-
quence. Sixthly—The glass should never be opened in
watches that set and regulate at the back. One or two di-
rections more it is of vital importance that you bear
in mind. On regulating a watch, should it be going
fast, move the regulator a trifle towards the slow, and
if going slow do the reverse ; you cannot move the
regulator too slightly or gently at a time, and the only
inconvenience that can arise is that you may have to
perform the duty more than once. On the con-
trary, if you move the regulator too much at a
time, you will be as far, if not farther than
ever from attaining your object; so that
you may. re-
peat the movement until quite , tired and deeply disap-
pointed-stoutly blaming both watch and watch-
maker, while the fault is entirely your own. Again,
you cannot be too careful in respect of
the
nature and condition of your watch-pocket ; see
that it be made of some material that is soft
the best, and
and pliant, such as wash-leather, whiehmisay
be torn off
also that there be no flue or nap, that
when taking the watch out of the pocket. Cleanliness
too, is as needful here as in the case of the key before
t engine-turning of the
e
winding ; for if there be dust or dirt in either instance,
it will, you may rely upon it, work its way into the
case.—Edward

TRADE or PAISLEY.--The trade of Paisley is at
this moment much better than it has been for several
years at the same season. A large quantity of tartans
have been made, and for these a ready market has been
obtained at very encouraging prices. Of harness goods
the quantity made has been somewhat limited, but
several houses are also doing a good trade in that depart-
ment. Altogether, we may hope to get over the present
winter with less destitution and misery than we have
. hitherto experienced.—Renfrewshire Advertiser.
