A child's nose can be molded almost
as if it were clay, and the "retrousse"
nose that will cause many a heartburn
in after life might be avoided if the
mother would give the proper time
and attention to gently pressing it so
as to lengthen the "snub." Wide nos
trils may be corrected In the same
manner.
FOR HER,
DAYS TRIAL
Preserved Bartlett Peart.
The quantities given will fill four
pint Jars. Select fifteen good stood
ripe Bartlett pears; peel and cut them
In halves; remove core and drop fruit
Into a bowl of cold water to which
the Juice of a lemon has been added.
Place a preserving kettle with two
pounds of sugar and one pint of water
over the fire; stir to partly melt the
sugar, boll a few minutes, removing
all the black scum: put In the pears,
cover and cook until a straw will pen
etrate them easily. Then fill them
with the sirup into the Jars; let the
sirup overflow, at once turn upside
down until cold, then sot aside.
Green Grape Jelly.
Stem the grapes, removing any that
are Imperfect; rinse well In cold
water, put Into a stone jar and sot in
a pan of boiling water. Ctok until
the grapes are soft, mashing with a
wooden spoon. When the seeds are
separated and the Juice flows freely
strain through a Jelly bag without
pressing, as that might make the jel
ly cloudy. Use what Is pressed out
to make up for marmalade or jelly for
IJelly cake. Allow to each pint of the
juice a pound of sugar. Cook the Juice
In a porcelain or granite kettle twenty
minutes, then add the heated sugar;

up again, then turn Into sterilized
glasses. When cold cover closely with
brandied paper, as all grape jelly ia
liable to mould, and cover the tops
with papers pasted down with the
white of an egg.
How to Relieve Tired Feet.
If the feet become tired and swollen
from long standing a hot sea salt
bath will do much toward relieving
them. The following dissolved in the
bath water will also be found good:
One ounce of alum, two ounces of
rock salt and two ounces of borax.
Peach Cobbler.
For this purpose the richest and
ripest fruit is selected, usually some
variety of the yellow peach, because
of Its superior richness. Butter a
deep earthenware pudding dish. Line
the sides of the dish with good pastry,
then fill the dish with peeled peaches
torn In halves Instead of cutting.
Leave enough pits to Impart flavor.
Sweeten abundantly, then cover with
a rich layer of crust sealing down so
that none of the Juices may escape.
Bake In a hot oven about three-quarters
of an hour, covering with paper
If there Is danger of It browning too
rapidly. When nearly done draw to
the oven door, dredge with powdered
sugar and set back to glaze. A real
old-fashioned cook is a stickler for a
few spoonfuls of brandy poured over
the peaches before the top crust Is
put on but the majority of folks find
it quite delectable enough without any
spirituous additions.
Notes.
When the eyebrows fall out, this
tonic application will reform them at
once: Three ounces of red vaseline.
one ounce of tincture of cantharides,
one ounce of Jamaclca rum, five drops
of oil of rosemary. Mix all thorough
ly and apply twice daily with a tiny
eyebrow brush. .
To plump out the hollows under the
chin, massage with cocoa butter, us
ing rotary movements and working
from the neck out. Practice whistling
and singing to round the throat and
fill out the flesh around the chin es
pecially. Use a small, stiff brush to nib the
silk out of corn on the ear; it Is very
effective.
The eyes of newly born Infants are
always blue. They do not begin to
assume their permanent color until
the sixth or eighth week after birth.
To thoroughly clean wall paper mix
some flour and water into a stilt
dough and rub well the walls, taking
a fresh piece of the dough when It is
dirty. ' "v

Bound to Stop Them.
In a suit lately tried In a Maryland
: court the plaintiff had testified that
'his financial counsel took him In
hand for cross-examination and under
itook to break down his testimony un
ion this point.
i "Have you ever been bankrupt?"
! asked the counsel.
"I have not."
"Now, be careful," admonished the
j lawyer with raised finger. "Did you
ever stop payment?
"Yes."
"Ah, I thought we should get at the
truth," observed the counsel, with an
unpleasant smile. "When did this
: suspension of payment occur?"
1 "When I had paid all I owed," was
'the naive reply of the plaintiff.

THE CLOSED ROOM.
A little old locksmith, who waa also
u genlo, sat at his bench, working dil
igently, when the door opened and a
breathless woman entered.
"I am about to take possession of a
new dwelling a man's heart," she ex
plained. "Those who have lived In It
before have carried off the keys. But
you will be able to fit nu out, will you
not?"
"What kind of a place Is It!" asked
the accommodating little locksmith.
"A rather conventional house, largo
and sunny and commodious," she re
plied. "There are no mysterious pas
sages about It, and no blind doors. The
locks ought to bo easily fitted, al
though some of them have grown
rusty from disuse, and a few of the
doors have never even been opened.1'
"It Is sometimes so with a house,"
commented he.
The woman nodded. "But I could
never be happy living In a part of any
house," sho said. "I must occupy It
completely."
The locksmith took down his great
key rings without answering.
"Now this," said he, holding out a
key to her. "Is the first you will need.
It opens tho outer door of the bouse
Into the vestibule of Interest."
"Oh," said she, with a little laugh,
"that Is already open. I shall not
need that key."
Ho gave her another to the wide
central hall of confidence, and the
took It, glad to get It, of course, but
without great enthusiasm, and hung It
on her girdle.
"And this Is the key to the living
room of comradeship," he went on.
"That, I suppose, Is a large west fac
ing apartment, with plenty of win
dows and a good fireplace. It Is usu
ally the most cheerful and the most
comfortable room In the house."
"Perhaps," said the woman. "I
shall sit there a great deal, 1 am
sure," and she slipped the key care
fully In place.
The locksmith delected another
from one of the rings.
"This fits the lock on the door of
the room of constancy," said he.
"I'm afraid that room has been
rather neglected," she said, with a
charming little grimace, "but I shall
look after It at once."
The locksmith's eyelid flickered at
the way the red bow of her lips
straightened Into a thin line.
Then he gave her other keys, little
and big. naming them as he gave her
them, and she hung them one by one
upon her girdle.
"Hut." said she, when he would
have put the key rings away at last,
"you have given me none for the un
used nx.ms of which I told you."
He hesttated, fingering the keys on
a small ring which he had not touch
ed. "You are certain you wish them?"

"Oh. very well." said he, and drop
ped Into her pulm two slender keys of
beaten gold.
"Now." said she triumphantly, with
a sigh of relief, "I shall go where I
please!" !
And she went away, her girdle
weighted with the keys as the stom
acher of Cleopatra with Its jewels.
Days after she came back, so radi
ant that her beauty made the eyes of
the little old locksmith blink as they
always did 'when the sun, catching
them wide open, would flash his auda
cious smile straight Into them.
"Well?" interrogated he of her.
"They fit!" she cried. "Every key
turns Its lock like magic! It Is quite
wonderful, Is It not?"
"By no means." he replied. "You
are a very clever woman and I am a
I locksmith and genie. Between us we
! should be able to accomplish mosi
things.
The woman's answering smile was
vague. "There is something else,
said she. "I need still another key."
"Bless me. What key Is that?"
A shade of annoyance lay over her

i closed door. I have looked In at the
kevhole and can see nothing but dust
and shadows and cobwebs. But I am
sure there Is something else there."
"The room of the past' murmured
he.
"Yes," she nodded, "and I must turn
the lock.
"Why?" he asked. "Why must
you."
She flushed, anil her eyes fell. Then
she lifted them defiantly.
"It Is my house, is It not? -Besides,
it needs air and light."
The wise little locksmith smiled
curiously; and the woman's color
deepened beneath the smile.
"It Is not curiosity that urges me,"
she flamed, as if he had accused her.
"The whole house has need of my
care."
He shook his head.
"Leave the room closed," said he.
But she held out her hand per
emptorily.
Give mo a key for It," she com
manded.
There Is none In the shop that will
fit that lock."
"Make one, then,"
"I could not. if I would."
"What shall I do?" she cried.
"The man has a key. Ask him for
it, If you must."
She smiled at him In quivering dis
dain. ,
. "Surely there must be a duplicate
somewhere," she urged.
"There Is none," said he.
She stared at him in amazement.
"You mean that you cannot help me
to get in there," she demanded.
The locksmith made her his pro
fondest courtesy.
"Madame," said he, "there are
things which even you and I can not
do with all our cleverness and skill."
