That Christian IX. of Denmark, whose Ulness is at prasent causing much anxiety, brings up liis children in the way they should go is sufficiently evidenced by the following anecdote: One day at the dinner table the young prinee asked hia father what was the meaning of a word be had never heard before. This word, "lusing," is the Danish equivalent for our "box on the ears." The king asked his son where b.e had heard such a word. The boy, blushing to the roots of his hair, confessed, aftw a little natural hesitation, that he had been out in the streets amusiüg himself by ringing the bells and tfcen running away. But at one door an angry porter rushed out and shouted after him that he would give him a "lusing" ii ever he did such a thing again. WHen the prince had flnisiird his expl&nation his father exclaimed: "Vcry well, to-morrow you shaü go with me to that very house and beg the porter's pardon for such rudeneBS." Accordingly, the next day the kinR went with his much-abashed son arjd made him apologize.
