 With Past.
 One of the oldest and quaintest lit. tie independent states that ever existed in Europe-the tiny republic of Noli. founded before Rome and maintaining its liberty for many centuries until Napoleon swept away it's privileges-is today merely a fishing village near Genoa, but it Is full of reminders of its former greatness and affords won. derful glimpse of mediaeval times Destroyed by the Carthaginians in 217 B. C.. and who knows how often by subsequent marauders. there seemed no limit to her powers of recovery.
 This quaint little fishing village main tained itself as a sovereign state for centuries. took a prominent part in the quarrels of Guelphs and GhibeIlines. sent doughty warriors to the Crusades. commanded the interest of emperors and popes and only succumbed at last to the armies of Napoleon. Dante clambered hither over terrible hills on hands and knees and revenged himself by consigning Noli to his "Purgatory." ]"

Excitement.

People who easily get excited don't usually live nearly 50 long as people who keep calm. Excitement, iD fact wastes the vitality and affects ones health to very great extent. This is true. too, of all who seek excitement whether physical or mental. Excite ment makes the pulse beat above the ordinary rate, and one's reserve of eD ergy Is used up so much the quicker Occasional excitement, however. Is very good for ones health, especially where the pulse is slow. but the natu, ral condition of the body should be one of calmness and regularity.

 Credit for the first skyscraper built in this country Is generally conceded to Chicago. It was built in the Hoop dis triet" of that city in 1886. from plans by Holabird & Roche. The first exam pie of lofty building in New York city was the structure at 50 Broadway. de signed by Bradford Lee Gilbert in 1888. A few years later both these wondera became insignificant and prac- tically forgotten because they were so greatly outdone by succeeding sky scrapers. But these were not the in- ftial efforts. for a skyscraper was de- signed nearly three centuries ago. many generations before the discovery of the steel cage system of this day.
 Jacques Ferret, an architect of Cfambery, Savoy. is the accredited au- thor of plans for an eleven story build hg. ;361 feet in height. which must have had twice the space between floors, for today eleven stories are crowded within q height of 15O feet. Perret's building was planned to be 166 feet long and 1AO feet wide. with supporting walls twelve feet thies at the base.
