How TO KEEP AN UML-S.ItLLA.—Dr. Buckland
could not bear to lose an umbrella. Ho lost two or three
in one way or anothra, and at last ho inscribed, in conspi-
cuous letters on the handle of a new one he bought pur-
posely, " Stolen from Dr. Buckland," and this he never
lost, although it often invitingly stood by itself in a soli-
tary glory in the umbrella stand in the hall.
A. GOOD WATCH AT A MODERATE PRICE.—" The
stranger in walking through the City of London must be
astonished to see so many establishments whose windows
are filled with watches and jewellery of the most costly de-
scription. Among these there is one fast rising into
celebrity for the beauty and excellence of its productions—
we mean the establishment of Mr. J. W. Benson, watch
manufacturer, of 33 and 34, Ludgate-hill. As a good
watch is admitted on all sides to be indispensable to the man
of business, we have great pleasure in pointing out a watch
manufactory where our friends can purchase the article
without paying an exorbitant prise, Daily Telegraph.—
Benson's Illustrated Pamphlet, post free for two stamps,
is descriptive of every eonstruction of watch now made.
Watches safe by post to all parts of the globe.
