A Variety Of Expedients.
Muriel, a five-year-old subject of
King Edward, has been thought by her
parents too young to feet the weight of
the rod, and has been ruled by moral
suasion alone. But when, the other
day, she achieved disobedience three
times In live mint tes, more vigorous
rueasues were called for, andhar moth
er took an ivoy paper-knife from the
table and atruck her smartly across her
little bare legs. Muriel looked astound
ed. Her mother explained the reason
for the blow. Muriel thought deeply
for a moment. Then, turning toward
the door with a grave and disapproving
countenance, she announced in her
clear little English voice:
“I’m going up-stairs to tell God about
that paper-knife. And then I shall tell
Jesus. And if that desen’t do, I shall
put flann on my legs!”—Everybody's
