in the habit of meeting, year after year,
in friendly and brotherly intercourse in
these unpretending Danish homes and
the ruling will among these powerful mag
mates al the autumn gatherings has al
ways been that Of Queen Louise.
All Europe owes her a debt Of which it IS
scarcely conscious. For this little woman
has been one of the most successful peace
makers of Europe. Certainly a marvellous
position, and one of which she could never
have dreamed when she married a poor
princey officer In the little Danish army.
Nothing seemed more unlikely than that
her husband would ever become King Of
Denmark. He was her first cousin, but il
was in her veins that flowed the Danish
ROYAL blood through her mother, Princess
Charlotte Of Denmark.
If the ease OF public life has been lack
ing to the King of Denmark, he has en-
joyed to the full private happiness. He
has been the happiest of husbands and
fathers, blameless and irreproachable. It
was not derisively that the populace of
Copenhagen sang beneath the royal win
dows on a raw November evening of 1883
a music hall ditty, of which the refrain
runs, 1T is a fine family, that of King
Christian" This happiness fell to his
lot largely because of his good fortune in
his wife

PoIiteness In MEXICO.

From the Chicago News.
No other nation can equal Mexico in the
stately courtesy practiced in everyday life
among all classes. Even the poor laborers
rarely address one another without some
terms of erdearment. Como estas, mi al
MAJ" CHOW are you, my soul?'D is a
common form of address. Every one seems
to have gentle consideration for the feel
ngs of others. MY lady, I am at your
feet" is the prescribed form of saluta-
ton from a gentleman who meets a lady,
whereas if two gentlemen meet they say
II kiss your hand"
A Mexican Will never permit lady to
descend the stairs alone; he takes her by
the hand or offers his arm and only takes
leave of her at the street door Often in
their rambles through Mexico strangers
lose their way, and if they have a slight
knowledge of Spanish an appeal to a ma
tive IS certain to bring courteous relief.
The Mexican lover calls his sweetheart
THE very eyes of me" and II she rejects
him he is likely TO say. "Since there is no
help bow before you, kiss your feet and
depart"
Mexican politeness always has the ap-
pearance of perfect sincerity. An Ameri-
can young lady was once talking with an
old Mexican gentleman and she laughing
ly said something about having some lit
erary work to do. 1t was good to see the
old fellows impressive manner as he ex-
claimed: Work! Miss, such lips as yours
should never mention work You should
be a queen and wear pearls as beautiful
as those incased in your lovely mouth"
