Kind. patient wives, when you mistrust--
As noble women sometimes must
Your lords have toyed with liquor,
Apply to them this certain rest,
Aud from their tongues the secret wrest.
For nothing could be slicker.
First let them in a manner feet
And oft and hurriedly repeat
These two words, "Truly rural"
Then follow up with this, The sun
Shines on shop signs" and in each run
Bee that they mind each plural.

Then make them put their tongues to this
And see il twill detect them
II ''Bhs sells sea shells" they can say
You can console yourselves that they
Aren't drinking to affect them.

CARE or WATCHES.
The Manner In which u Pocket Tim~ptecs
should he Handled.

A watch, even of very good quality,
can only give satisfaction if it is treat
ed according 10 its subtle construction,
says the american Andiyst. Its pos
SCISSOR must prevent it from falling or
being knocked about. A Jump from a
street-car has more than once caused a
good timepiece in the jumpers pocket
TO change its rate. A watch must be
kept in a clean place. Dust and small
articles of the pocket lining gather
continuously in the pockets, and even
the best-titting case can not protect the
movement from dirt finding its way to
the wheels and pivots of the MOVE
ment. Watch-pockets should be turned
inside out and cleaned at regular in
tervals. A watch ought to be wound
up regularly at about the same hour
every day. The best time TO do it is in
the morning. for two easons. First,
because the hours of rising are more
regular than the hours of disrobing and
retiring. Second, because the full
power of the handspring is more likely
to reduce TO a minimum the irregulari-
ties caused by the movements of the
owner during the day. When not car
ried in the pocket a watch should al
ways hang by its ring in the same po-
sition that it is worn. As a rule
watches will run with "A different rate
when laid down. Only high-grade
watches are adjusted TO position and
will only show a few seconds diff
ference in twenty-four hours, while
common watches may be out of time
several minutes in one night.
Ladies often complain that their
watches do not run regularly. This
may be on account of smaller size and
more difficult regulating, but the main
reason for the faulty rate is TO be found
in the fact that ladies do not ALWAYS
carry their watches and consequently
often forget to wind them. Never
leave a h~unting-case watch open dur
ing a considerable length of time. A
careful observer will find in the morn.
ing a layer of dust on the crystal of .
watch that has been open during the
night. The dust will lind its way into
the movement. The dust on the out
side of the case will be unconsciously
rubbed of by the wearer, but When The
watch is closed the dust inside of the
case must remain there. A watch
ought to be cleaned every two. or at
the utmost three, years if it is not to be
spoiled. The oil will change. 1t will
become thickened by the dust that can
not be kept out of the best closing.
case. The dust will work like emery,
and grind the surfaces of the pivots Of
the train. The best of movements will
be spoiled II this requirement is neg.
lected. Even after being cleaned and
put in order they will not recover their
exactness. Many times it has been OBJ
served that a watch rau well for years,
and that it was unreliable after having
been cleaned. The reason is TO be
found in the fact the pivots and their
thick oil tit the jewel holes, and the
cleaned pivots and their clean oil Dc
not tit the same Jewels.
