Among other things, it had been deposed that plaintiff had been guilty of a breach of dis- cipline in eating a certain plate of straw- berries. Mr. really ? ‘Witness—Yes, sir; she was eating straw- berries. Mr. Coleridge—How shocking! ‘Witness—It was forbidden, sir. Mr. Coleridge—And did you, madam, really consider there wasany harm in that? Witness—No, sir, not (n itself, any wore than there was in eating an apple, but vou Coleridge — Eating atrawberries, know, sir,the mischief that came from that. | The court smiled and Mr. Coleridge seemed to lose the thread of his ideas for the moment.—Household Words. sk - The Japanese are extravagantly fond of children, and treat them so kindly that Japan has been called the Children’s Para- dise.
