When Winding Your Watch.

The old superstitious belief that you will change your luck if you ’ stop winding your watch at night and wind it in the morning may hive some slight basis in fact, according to a jeweler, who says that the morning is the proper time to do the winding. This is not, only because the hour of rising is for the average man much more regular than that for retiring but even the soberest and most orderly of men are apt to relax and prone to carelessness at bedtime, when more or less worn by the wear and tear of the day. In this condition the winding is apt to be done in a jerky, irregular sort of way. or too far or not far enough. “Nine people ou£ of ten wina their watenes on going to bed,” said the jeweler; “but if they would do it when they get up, at some regular point in the process of making their toilet, they would do it much better.” —Philadelphia Record.
