CARE OF A WATCH.


Be careful of your watch; it is too
delicate an article to be roughly
handled. Never get into the habit of
holding the stem and winding the
watch: always hold the watch and
wind the stem. If you will try both
ways. you will see what I mean, says
an expert, and perhaps find that you
have a bad habit to cure yourself Of.
Moreover. wind the watch as nearly
as possible at the same, time every
day. 1t is bad for a timepiece to be
wound too frequently or to be allowed
to run down entirely.
AT night either hang the watch up
small watchstands come for the pur-
pose, or a tiny yet firm brass hook on
the wall win do as well--or. if you lay
it down, see that there is some soft
article under it. Above all, do not keen
in ii too hot or too cold place.
Do not carry watch around loose
i'm a bag or pocketboolS. If neither fob,
chatelaine nor chain is possible with
the gown you are wearing. pin the
watch firmly under your dress. The
leather wristband with the watch set
into it is bad for the watch-it is only
too likely TO bump against everything
you touch.
About once a year send your watch
to be cleaned and regulated. Handle
it carefully otherwise, and il will be
prompt and efficient servant foi
generations.

THE HOWE PORTRAIT.
Reasons Why It Cannot 30 Placed in
Fancul Hall, Boston.

Boston. Dec. 23.-More definite reasons
for the failure Of the municipal Art Com.
mission to approve of plan to place a
memorial painting of Mrs. Julia Ward
Move in historical Faneuil hall for which
the public has subscribed nearly $1,000.
were given in a letter tonight by
Chairman Thomas Allen OF the Commits
sion to Rev. Charles W. Wandte. sec
rotary Of the Julia Ward Howe Memoir
ial Commute. Chairman Allen makes the
following explanation:
yielding to no one in its reverence
for the association centered in Faneuil
hall the Board of Art Commissioners
is forced to decide that this hall is al
ready overcrowded with portraits, some
hung so high and others SO badly light
ed that it is impossible to recognize either
the painter Or the painted. Tho only
space left is along the gallery balustrade:
and when painting is hung ther, it
not only interrupts the out look of per-
sons III the gallery but, owing to cross
lights and actual lack of light can not
be seen to advantage. The architectural
unity of the hall. moreover, is destroyed
by hanging pictures along the balcony
hall. While it may be argued that GER
tain paintings might be removed to make
place for a portrait of Mrs. Howe, the
fact remains that the paintings already
in Faneuil hall are subject to deStInc-
tive atmospheric circumstances. it seems
evident that there is no available or de-
sirable space left for portraits in Faneuil
hall"
Chairman Allen repeats the previous
suggestion Of the commission that a mar
Bile bust of Mrs Howe be made and
placed in the Public library in place of
the memorial painting planned.
