Watches Have Nerves.

The watch is scarcely less sensitive
than the razor, sympathy being the
special virtue. There are people who
cannot get a watch to keep regular
habits, however careful they may be
about winding, carrying, keeping
warm at nights and so on. Their
nerves exercise a deplorably unset.
Ting effect on the mechanism. The
writer has had this experience with
hereditary watches which had pre-.
vious unbroken record Of regularity.
One watch, Of Swiss origin. kept time
only once, when II was temporarily
tack in Switzerland. The question iS,
whether 1t was the native air and soil
that did It or the temporarily perfect
nerve condition Of the wearer.
