The Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely into the structure of the nose and de- termine its characteristics that it un- dergoes little perceptible change, as a rule, with the lapse of years. The brow becomes wrinkled, and crows feet gather round the eyes, which them selves gradually grow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks lose the bloom which cos metics cannot replace and lips their fullness and color.
 The chin, dimpled in youth, develops angularities or globularities, as the case may be, and the eyebrows become heavy with the crop of many years growth. The nose shows no mark con- parable to these familiar facial indica- tions of the approach of old age and practically enjoys immunity from the ravages which time makes on the other features of the face. Next to the nose, probably the ears, as rule, show the fewest and least obvious signs of old age

1t cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the minds of American men and
women that the nerves rule every ac-
ton of our bodies and control all the
affairs of our existence. The nervous
system is the fountain from which flows
the very essence of life. and which pre-
serves throughout all the years of our
lives that personality and individuality
that makes each one of US what we are.
When the nerves become irritated or
exhausted from sickness or strain, when
the brain has been weakened from
overwork, loss of sleep, or any cause
whatever, arrangements Of the nerve
centers follow. and such manifestations
as sick headache, loss of appetite, fiat
uIency, sour stomach, dyspepsia, nerv-
BUSINESS, irritability. follow as a natural
result DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
is fully competent to correct all such
disordered conditions Of the nerve CEN
tiers. 1t gives the tortured nerves rest
and permits them to recover their tone
and steadiness. It invigorates the d1-
gestive organism, puts new life into the
blood and soothes the tired brain to
sweet refreshing sleep. BY it thousands
of weak, sickly, incompetent inVahds
have been made strong and healthy.

answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there IS mutual love and respect if there is

does not count, and marriage is invariably
q failure.

possess the most deadly weapon ever in
vented 1t is of 2.95 inches canber, and
discharges twenty shells a minute Ea
shell can be loaded with go bullets Many
practical experiments have been made
with the gun at Chalons. It proved its
ability to destroy a~regiment or a battery
in one minute.
The barrel of the new gun is Of nickel
steel. The breech-lOck is constructed on
the Interrupted screw principle. but great
ly modified from the old form. It can lrl be
closed quickly with one motion. The
closing of the breech cocks hammer. The
gunner at the same time holds the Ian
yard, aims and fires.
The gun with its carriage weighs 5000
pounds, which is distributed at the ra te
of GOO pounds to horse. This makes 1t
easily movable.
One of the most valuable features Of the
gun is that the recOil is practically abol-
