242 WINE. 



that is, if it hangs by day, let it hang by night against some- 

 thing that is soft. 



The hands of a pocket chronometer or duplex watch should 

 never be set backwards ; in other watches this is a matter of 

 no consequence. 



The glass should never be opened in watches that set and 

 regulate at the back. 



One or two directions 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 gently or slight- 

 ly at a time, and the only inconvenience that can arise is, 

 that you may have to perform the duty more than once. On 

 the contrary, 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 repeat the movements until 

 quite tired and disappointed, stoutly blaming the watch- 

 maker while the fault is entirely your own. 



Again, you cannot be too careful in respect of the nature 

 of the watch-pocket ; see that it be made of some material 

 that is soft and pliant, such as wash-leather, which is the best, 

 and also that there be no flue or nap that may be torn off 

 when taking the watch out of the pocket. 



Cleanliness, too, is as needful here as in the case of the 

 key before winding ; for if there be dust or dirt in either in- 

 stance, it will, you may rely upon it, work its way into the 

 watch as well as wear away the engine turning of the case. 



WINE. ( Vinum.) Beside the juice of the vine, we find 

 many fruits and plants have always been subjected to the 

 processes of fermentation as far back as the memory of man 

 runneth, in order to produce the liquor called wine. As 

 processes are discovered for preserving fruit and vegetables
