A wealthy young man named Lean- dro Improta after taking refreshment at cafe in Naples called for pen anei ink and wrote a number of notes and letters. He then quietly took out Il small revolver and shot himself in the breast. One of the letters found in his pocket runs:

Is that not fine idea ? So much has been written on the subject. and 1t pleases me to discover instead of talking So I determined to die and see whether l shall be reborn in the form of some animal.

 The passenger, without waiting for the other to finish, responded:
 "Your umbrella? Well. presume ii Is, sir. You will allow me to explain that I picked it up on coming out of the train just now. I have great pleas ure in restoring it to the rightful own er."
 The stranger expressed his thanks and quickly made off.
 A few minutes later the same stran- ger, with brand new umbrella tucked carefully under his arm, asked another individual the same question he had intended to ask the man who handed him the umbrella.

Let No One Boast.

Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just as every man, though he be the great est genius, has very definite limitations in some one sphere of knowledge, and thus attests his common origin with the essentially perverse and stupid mass of mankind, so also has every man something in his nature which is positively evil. Even the best-nay, the noblest-character will sometimes sur prise us by isolated traits of depravity as though 1t were to acknowledge his kinship with the human race, in which villainy-nay, cruelty--is to be found in that degree.-Schopenhauer
