A DAUGHTER WOHTII HAVLNf". " Harvey Mills has failed ! " said Mrs. .Smithson, one chilly spring evening, as she ran in to sue her next door neighbor and intimate friend, Airs, .lames. " My husband just eame home, and he says that what we supposed to be a rumor only, is a sad fact; the as signment was made yesterday. I threw on a shawl ami ran over to tell you. They are to keep the house under some sort of an arrangement, but they have discharged all their servants, and what in the world the Miilscs will do, Mrs. lames, with Mrs. Mills' invalid habits, and Miss Helena, with her dainty ways and refined bringing up. is more than I know;1' and pretty, shallow Mrs. Sntilhson looked at her nerve-loving friend and neighbor with the air of an epicure regarding some favorite dish. " I heard all about it hut evening," said Mrs. James, adjusting the pink ribbon at the throat of her black silk dinner-dress "and this morning I pre Himcd upon our cousinship so far as to drive over and see how they were get ling along. And really, Mrs. Smithson, you will be surprised when 1 tell you that, although 1 expected to lind the family in great confusion ami distress, I never saw them in such a comfortable way, and in such good spirits. The worst was over, of course, and they had all settled into the new order of thing-; :is naturally as could be. My cousin. Mis. Mills, was sitting, as calm as yon please, up there m her sunny morning room, looking so fresli ami dainty as she ate her crisp toast and sipped hot eoffee." Our comfortable and cozy appear ance is all due to Helena, said she. That dear child has taken the helm. I never dreamed she had so much execu tive abilty. We were quite broken down at first, but she made her father go over all the details of his business with her, and they found that by dis posing of Helena's grand i.mo, the paintings and slabs, and costly bric-a-brac her father had always indulged Jier in buying, we could pay dollar lor dollar, and so keep the house. My husband's old friend, Mr. Bartlett, who keeps the art store, 3011 know, and who4s always taken a great interest in Helena, bought baek thc paintings, statuary, vases, etc., at a small dis count, and Barker, who sold us the piano a car ago or so, and who is an other old friend, ami Knew, of course, jusl how we wcrcsitiiated, took it back, deducting only twenty-live dollars. " Heleuahas justgone iutothekitch nn. Whatshewilldothere Idon'tknow; but she says she needs the exerc'se, that she has not attended the cooking f.ehool hero in the city for nothing, ami that so long as the meals are served' regularly and properly', ami the house is keep in good order, her father and T are mil to worry.' Alter she told me that, I drew my call to a c'oso, and ran down into my cousin's kitchen to sue her dainty daughter there. And what do you think? I found that g.rl at the sink, with her sleeves rolled up, an im mense water-proof apron on, washing a kettle!-' " Washing a A-c7c?" repeated Mrs. Smithson, holding up both her soft, white hands in unmeasured astonish ment. "Yes, Mrs. Smithson, washing a great,- blaek. greasy- iron kettle that meat had been" boiled in. ami that had been left unwashed and gummy when the cook left. And, do you know? .-he was laughing over it ail" and saying to her youngest, brother, who stood near by, that .she really liked it. for she now felt she was making her.-elf useful." "The idea! Liking to wash kettles:" and the two line ladies looked at each other in open-eyed wonder. "It seems tome as if Helena Mills was trying to make thc best of her father s altered fortunes, and was sim ply doing her duty in the premises," spoke Miss Carlton, Ida James's new drawing teacher, who was that evening ..1. ...... ...1 ;.. :..:. i -1 , " .S '".". ,!Pr '."J"1 :l losso'! ?n the opposite &ido of the center-table. She spoke earnestly and yet in amode-t way, and it being tho vogue in New City just then to patronize Mi.ss Carl ton, the pretty and accomplished gradu ate from Vassar. the two ladies looked at her amiably, and she went on: "Somebody- must wash the kettles, and it is always best, when one has a -isagrceablc duty to perform, to do it fflot only at once, but cheerfully." "Yes. perhaps," replied Mrs. Smith eon, "but how could a -young girl of real tiatire refinement'' (both" sides of Hie Smithson family were of the "old -stock") "take so kindly to washing viots and kettles? The fact of it is. pe file have been mistaken inllelenaMills. She never possessed that innate gentili ty she has had credit for. But ' everv one finds their level sooner or latci he, he."" These two women having thus sum marily disposed of Helena Mills socially, they repeated their belief that the Jove iy and dutiful young girl had now lound her proper level over and over in their set until it was the common talk ;n New City. Miss Carlton, in her round of professional calls anion"- the co-called elite, was cntert lined inncar iy every household with the information that Helena Mills had given up her studies even, and gone into the kitchen to work "and, if you'll believe it, she likes it.'" Then would follow rellcc tions upon the natural ability -and bias of mind of a young woman who vW:is "fond of washing dishes." This sensible, accomplished little drawing teacher was the only one to be found, "who miusled in the "upper cir cles" of New City, who said : a word either in praise or defense -of Helena Mills' new vocation. Miss Carlton al ways and everywhere protested that the young girl's course vas not only praise worthy, but beautiful. She mainta'ned that every woman, young or o'd, high or low, -who took upon herself the laljor of elevating the much-abused as well as despised vocation of housework upon which the comfort 'of every home de pends 10 a line art naa a. ruu"- "tuc 1 act or. Miss Carlton's friends all listened and laughed, and then went on with their serseless and malicious tirade. She was heartily glad when her engage ments in New City wc-e ended, and she was oblio-ed. to move in such "select society, "whose ideas were always a mere echo of opinion no matter how trivial and foolish-which had been cx jircEcd by a few of its more wealthy members. Mrs. Dr. Forbes, ncc Miss Carlton, had heard very little about N.CW City society for five years. Rut having occa sion to pass through tho place on tho cars lately she treated herself to a little gossipy chat with the conductor, whom the ha"d known as a New City gallant. "There is no particular news, Mrs". Forbes," said he, " unless it is the en gagement of Helena Mil's to young Lawyer Bartlett, son of Colonel .fame Bartlett, you remember, owner of the big corner art store. A capital choice the young squire has made, too. She's as good "as gold, nnd everybody says she's the best girl in the city. She's a perfect lady, withal, and treats every Lo hj well. Not a bit of nonsense or shoddy about her. Why, bless you, Mrs. Korbos, when her father failed in '75 she took entire charge of the family, and sho has managed the house ever since. " Her father is now in business again for himself; and employs more men than ever. Her mother, who had been an invalid for years was forced by Helena's example" to try and exert her self .so as to share her Slaughter's bur den to some extent. As a result of the new, active life she has followed, she lost all her ailments, and is now a hap py, hearty, healthy woman. Helena's brothers have grown up to be line, manly, helpful fellows, and the whole family are better off every way than ever before. As tilings were going on before Mr. Mills' failure, the whole family were in danger of being spoiled by too much luxury. "There was a great deal of talk at iirst among the big-bugs about Helena's pots and kettles.1 and they used to say she has found her true 'level.' I al ways thought there was a spice of nial ico'in their talk, for the gins of her set envied her beauty and accomplish ments. I am rather fond of telling them now that Helena Mills has found her 'level' in the richest, most intlucn- i tial, and just the best family in New , City." GV. istian-at- Work. High-Priced Heal Estate in New York. A recent New York letter says: The three costly hu'ddingon Fifth Avenue, for Mr. Vanderbilt ami two of his sons, are approaching completion. The double building for Vanderbilt. Sr., at Fifty-lirst Street, is a good piece ol architecture, but would be better if the building were a story higher. It looks rather squat in proportion to the ground covered. The material is the same brown stone that is used in nearly all the buildings on the avenue. It does I not wear so wen as some outer hiiii oi i stone, but there is none el.se that looks ' en rifli. It will tirobrililv bn n. ve.ir bn- fore thc h)3;lIc work is lhlis,0(i. On .llu. nexl ,)lock above grinds the new J homc of one of thc jm,i,jrs. it s not so lur,re ti10 1)alerlI!li mansion, but it is more ambitious in architecture and may be called more ornate. The angles are" very numerous and the whole struc ture mure showy. The material used is a sort of gray limestone, a novelty in stylish buildings in New York. It is not handsome, but it is different from what is seen in other buildings and that may make up for lack of good looks. Still further up, at the corner of Fifty seventh Street, the most stylish of the Vanderbilt houses has risen to the roof and is now eloscd in. It looks better than cither of the others. The general design is neat as well as elaborate, and the etleet is pleasing. In this house tie mater'al is brick and light colored stone, in about equal proportions. There is no suggestion of bareness any where", nor of overloading with fancy work, either. It will take longer to finish the inside of each of the Vander bilt mansions than it has taken to build the outside. Probably in a year from now the three will be ready to occupy. You may now walk up the avenue all tho way to the park and find hardly one vacant space. Everything is built up, and symmetrical rows of brown stone fronts line tho way on both sides. A man want'ng to buy must pay at least one million dollars for a full sized house well flushed and in good order. 1). O. Mills, the California millionaire, paid something aliout that figure, I believe, for the mansion he bought on the avenue some time ago. Mr. Mills seems to have faith in New York real estate. His latest purchase, down in Broad Street, is the largest made here in several 3 ears. An in vestment of nearly $1,.")U0.0!)0 is worth noting. The property bought by Mr. Mills runs from the Dreel Building, at the corner of Wall Street, down to Ex change Place, the length of an ordinary block, and it includes, besides, one lot on Wall Street, east of the Drexel, so that entrances may be had on both sides of that building. Tho eaet price paid for the property is understood to be SI. 100. OK). The cost' of building on it will probablvbenl least i,000. 0U0 more. J There is no place in New York where reai estate pays belter. J he neighbor hood fairly swarms with brokers, and ollieesarcalwaysin demand. Itlsdireet ly opposite the main entrance to the Stock Exchange, and the most bustling spot in the city. It is at the corner of Broad Street and Exchange Place that nearly all the call loans of the brokers '.- inane, .uiiiiuu.s aim iiniiiu:iMuuaiiru hands there every dav. and most of the ... 7.. :n: , t ...:n: 1 business is done 011 the sidewalk. All the brokers occupying offices on thc property bought by Mr. Mills lfavc received notice to vacate on the 1st of May. The notice has caused a great scramble for other offices in the same neighborhood, and sent rents up enor mously. The rents of the vacant offices in the Drexel Building went up fifty per cent, an hour after the notice was served. It is in this building that the business of Drexel. Morgan & Co., and Morton. Bliss it Co. is carried on. The location is just one block from Trinity church. It was on the opposite corner that George Washington was in augurated President of the United States. But Wall Street is a mighty different place now to what it was then. A Xevr Illuminating Fluid Highly- interesting experiments with a newly -discovered mineral essence took place a few cvonings ago at the laboratory of the eminent Parisian an alytical chemist, M. Wucrtz, in the presence of several members of the Academic des Sciences. Having filled a lamp with the linuid in question, and ignited the wick, M. Kordig, the dis coverer of the essence, tossed the lighted lamp up against tho ceiling, besprinkling the bytanders as well iis himself with the flaming fluid, which, however, to the astonishment of all presclit, proved utterly devoid of heat or burning capacity. He then soaked his pocket-handkerchief in the essence, and set it on lire: the essence burnt itself out, but the handkerchief remained uninjured, as did his hat after subjection to a similar trial. Then MM. Wuertz, Dumas and Frlcdel plunged their hands into a pan filled with the barning liquid, withdrawing them with lingers all alight, yke so many thick jets of gas. They expe rienced ho sensation ot heat whatsoever upon the skin surface thus apparently in a state of active combustion. Other experiments followed of an equally wonderful nature, conclusively demon- slrntTnr llmf. tln ' lnri1ior cfnr,, ?a capable of producing light without heat. All that is at pi cicnt known of its special physical characteristics seems to be that it is a thin and colorless oil, evaporating with great rapidity.' Its discoverer proposes to adapt it to gen eral domestic use for lighting purposes, its chief recommendation being; abso lute harmlessness. for it is altogether J incapab'e of exploding, and may be poured whilo "burning upon the most delicate textile fabric without the least risk of igniting the substance. Londcn Telegraph. (food Manners. Good manners. That is a homely, old-fashioned term. Wi rarely ever hear it now. Young people arc taught tt.-le, address, how to bow elegantly and enter a drawing-room gracefully, often to the neglect of their manners. From infancy they are allowed to be on such familiar terms wun ineir pa position are not pcrceiveu oy uieui, and they w'.ll carelessly or rudely ac cost a famous judge or a learned pro fessor, as if he were a playmate. The veneration for ae, so prevalent in some cistern nations ami frequently inculcated in the Bible, is, in this age and country, almost unknown. Atmcals you will often lind that the chihl ren are helped first; then the older members of thc family, and at length the aged father or mother, who has waited all this time in a silent meekness and submission pitiful to be hold. Thus these little ones are taught that they arc of the greatest impor tance. They become impatient and clamorous. Seltishness, irreverence, boldness and a disregard for the opinions, feelings and rights of others are cultivated. If you call upon a friend, her little boy or girl will perhaps rush into the parlor and, heedless of your presence, interrupt the conversation with a child ish ciuery or complaint, while thc moth er turns from you to satisfy or console her darling, even though she breaks off your sentence in thc midst. I have seen a girl of fourteen go before an elderly lady into a street car and take the only vacant scat. 1 have been mortified to -ce boys and girls possess themselves of every easy chair in a room, leaving their elders to occupy the more hard and unpleasant ones. They were not so much to be blamed for this as pitied. Their parents had neglected to train them to feelings aud habits of reverence and respect. Not long since i saw a party of four seated in a street car. They were an elderly lady, two young ladies and a young gentleman." It was evidently a mother, son, daughter and her female friend. When they left the car thc young man assisted his sifter and her friend to alight and walked awav with .. . them, chatting and laughing, while the . mother w:is allowed to get her-elt out and hobble along behind as best she could. If instances like these wero rare I would not mention them; but they oc cur frequently and in small towns as well as largo ones. It. is probably a result of tho reaction that has taken place from thc strict discipline and severity of the past. A sail and bitter memory of the privations and punish ments witl which their own early days were darkened induces many parents of to-day to indulge their children to an extreme and unwise degree; to put upon them no restra'nt not absolutely necessary. I have seen a mother, who in child hood was forbidden sugar in any form, place thc sugar-bowl before her little one of three years, saying: "There, darling, cat all" that you want." An other, whose little plate was supplied with food utterly unpalatable to her, .and which, in obedience to the com mand of a stern father, she was com pelled to swallow, though she ran out and ejected it immediately after, al ways consulted ner cinuiren, even in infancy, respecting their diet. " hat would you luce to eat, my dear.-' w ill you have s-alloped oysters, or a piece of cake or mince pie?" Hie poor little thing, of course, could not decide judi ciously, and, instead of being fed and strengthened with plain, simple food like oat-mcal. milk, beef and fruit, its appetite was perverted and digestion impaired uy improper delicacies. This is only one way in which a lack of judi cious training and restraint is illustrat ed. The boys aud girls of fifty y'ears ago used, at least in the little towns aud villages of New England, to bow and curtsy to every one they met in the street." Now they- not seldom pass their elders with a bold stare and loud, "Hallo! old boy!" Wo arc sometimes told to be patient: that as they grow older they will gradu ally lay aside their rude and disrespect ful ways. Probably; or nt least they will acquire more or less of tact anil dis cernment to perceive that polite man ners and kind attentions to all arc more politic. But these will be so superficial as to be easily penetrated by an acute observer. Gentleness, kindness. a thoughtful consideration for others ami res'ieet and reverence for superiors, should be cultivated in the child, else ; we may look in vain lor ineir presence in the adult, except as thev arc assum ed for effect to gain some specific: or selfish end. Some of the time now spent in our schools would be more profitably employed . in training pupils, not only in industrial acts, but in good morals and good manners. E. A. Kingsbury, in the Wo nan's Journ d. "The Tale of a Tub." Since the days of Dean Swift there have been many tales of a tub which Irfck the vivacity of his genius, but which have had very much to do with the commonplace affairs and practical welfare of humanity. Tubs are an in stitution. The Monday wash-day al most deserves enumeration in thc calen dars of the saints. Perhaps it is next to Sunday, because cleanliness is next to godliness. It is a vessel of honor or dishonor in every household. This en tire laundry business has very much to do with the condition of families and with the public health. It is a very important question how far a system of public laundry can be made to super sede thc house system of washing. Of course, it cannotbe practicable in very scattered communities. Then the risk of disseminating contagions by reason of foul, unwashed garments is worthy of Untight in a sanitary aspect. The Monday kitchen or washroom is a source of peril to manv families.

Thc diirfial of the wash water is of much.1 more importance than some imagine. ' It is jiotonlv fouled bv the organic ma- teri.il. tbn shrills of fiber, etc. that it derives from clothing. Our soaps are m-?Ji of foul nnd dutomnosinr ureases. ! When used as they are in washing and allowed to stand, a re-separation often takes place. If a tnb of wash water is ' allowed to stand in the sun. a day or j two, we soon have convincing evidence j of its foulness. This is the material , which. fnrm a larre bnlk in our cess ! nools. Even in sewers the flow of thc -.- -- n i Monday wash gives quite a perceptible increase to the volume of the current. In 'every private family cleanliness and the right disposal oF srids in connection with the washing must be fully ar ranged for. W here there are sewers. amfespecially in public institutions, we 1 have more frequently found, the outlet for sud water out of order than any other nirf nf thn hnnss-sewer system. I In two institutions, recently examined, I the drain was in the floor of the wash house, and so imperfectly trapped as to serve as a vent to the sewer and the soil pipe. It has now become quite common to fit up the washing room with a lloor of slight incliuo toward a central pipe, which may thus difTuso odors or odorless particles through thc basement. The useof stationary wash-tubs is now so common that much diligence needs to bo exercised in having them dry. when not used, and iapreventing any accumulation at tfeo Dase. urease is change, . ana thc absorbent wood is favorable to the foulness. It would be better if all these stationary tubs were made of some form of galvanized metal. In addition to fresh air and good ventilation, tho free use of disinfectants is desirable in anv laundry. Thc scrub bing up of the lloor with some zinc or J Iron solution thus helps to rid it of the possibilities of evil from decomposing tilth. Where thc ironing is done in the same room, as is often the case, the j temperature has to be such as is very apt to hasten decomposition. Where clothing has been especially soiled, or is to be carried from a bed which ha3 been occupied with contagious diseac, the garments should be put in a gallon of hot water containing a half ounce of chloride of leaxl aud a handful of s-alt chloride of zinc.

It is well known that certain dyes, as found in llaunels, cause troublesome irritations of the skin. Even materials used for facilitating smoothing like mostgluos consist of animal matter and mu-t not be too freely employed. It is thus e:isy to sec that the lauudrv department has much to do with the sanitary care of households. If everv tub could tell its tale, we would have some naughty stories of uncleanly washings, which would shock us more than the ready spittle of the Chinese, which we confess is our chief prejudice against their art.

General Gordon was severely wound ed four times in one battle and within an hour, aud lived to light again; and j this is only a specimen of the singular good luck that attended some in mi. In 1801 a Michigan cavalryman named Drake was out foraging in the Shenan doah Valley in company with a com rade named Cooper. Cooper was in a smoke-house after meat and Drake was on guard at the door wiien thirteen Confederates suddenly appeared. They were mounted, and advanced at a gal lop, part of them firing as they rode up. One bullet found a suitable opening m thc stone wall of the smoke-house :.nd Hew in and killed Cooper dead in his tracks. Drake was standing beside his horse, and his saddle was hit by three bullets, one of .which glanced through his hat. As soon as the trooper could realize what liar happened he swung himself into saddle and dashed at the circle around him. The moment he happened in view ho was a target for carbine and pistol. His horse made a rush at the line, but was driven ba-k. Followed by Cooper's horse he galloped anhind and across a circle not over one hundred feet across, all the time under a steady lire by the Confed erates. This lire was soon returned by Drake, who fired away seven cartridges and then drew his saber. His seven bullets, as afterwards vouched for, killed two men, wounded two more, and killed one horse. His fire broke the circle and he got out of it, but for thirty rods, as he made off. he was ex posed to the fire of nine or ten men. Cooper's horse was killed in the circle, while Drake's was hit no less than nine times and yet not disabled. As for the rider, his comrades, on his return to camp, counted up a record of a truly miraculous escape. Three bullets struck his scabbard, two his hat, four went through his clothing, one burned his cheek, one raked his knee, ami two hit his left boot. While one single bul let killed the one trooper, the other had sixteen fired point-blank at liim and yet did not lose a drop of blood.

You may fool some folks on oleomargarine, but I can tell it a block away." "Then you don't like it?" " Like it! Why, a pound of that would kill 9 man!" The second man lifted up thc roll, sincllcd all around it, and finally put a crumb into his mouth. Pretty fair article, isn't it?" queried the grocer.

One of them is about a " hired man" who came home one day with his oxen pulling along the tongue of a hay-cart.

A new girdle called thc Grecian den ture is likely to supercede the popular Hungarian cord and spikes so much em ploy ed for fastening the dainty chate laine pouches t'i the wearer's belt.

'. l'u.tt. MoJ?m .Mills and 3Iillinr. The modern flouring mill is a huge structure, employing many men, and the wheat is turned into Hour by the freight-train load daily. One ot the in nster mills in Minneapolis, Minn., covers an area of 30 by M) feet, and is seven stories in height. Its capacity is -l,'J' 0 barieis daily, which requires about ".'0,00 beshels of wheat, or fifty car-loads, to keep the mill in operation. It does not depend upon the old-fashioned burr iiiill-stonei to convert tho wiieat hit-. Hour, but the process of manufacture is to first run the wheat through a brushing machine, the old fashioned smut machine having been discarded. After the wheat has been cleansed by running through the brush machine it is run through corrugated iron rollers, u h:ch split the crease of the beiry open, thus liberating the dust which lies in the create, so that it can be removed by bulling. A very small percentage of low giade flour is made during this first reduction. The I grain then pastes thiough a process I Technically known as a scalping iceU to I remove the dirt ami Hour, after which it pa-ses through a second set 01 cor rugated rollers, by which it is further broken; then it is passed through a sec ond reel, which removes the Hour and middlings. This operation is repeated uccesshely until the Hour portion of the berry is entirely removed from the bran, the necessary separations being made after each reduction, sometimes reqti'ring live or six. 'J he middlings from the several operations are reduced to Hour, after being run through the purifiers by successive redu -tions, on smooth iron or porcelain rollers. One of the principal objects sought by this system of gr tiding is to avoid all bruis ing of the grain: another, to extract all the dirt from the cie.iso of the berry, aud a third to thoroughly free the bran from the. four in order to obtain as large a yield as po'sible. '1 here are in Minneapolis twenty e'ght of the-e h ige merchant mills, making it the largest Hour manufact uring place in the world, and its prod ucts are sent to an parts 01 the earl n. Eastern or Middle States are small and unpretentious concerns, only useful in grinding provender for the fanners of the neighborhood for the purpose of feeding their horses, stock and swine. And even now they are forced to com pete with largo mils in the West and Northwest which make a specialty of grinding feed b. the car-load and .-end. ing it to an Eastern market. The mil ler of "ancient times, who used to be regarded as an important factor of so ciety, is nearly obsolete, and the time is not far distant when he and his toll dish will be relegated to the doma'n of the flax -spinning wheel, the haudloom and the reaping sickle. Folk Lullabies. Babies show an early appreciation ol rhuhm. They rejoice in measured noise, whether it takes the form of words, music or the jingle of a bunch of kevs. In the way ot' poetry we are afraid they must be "admitted to have a perverse preference for what goes by thc name of sing-song. It will be a long time before the in'antilc publicare brought round to Walt Whitman's views on versification. For the rest, they are not very severe critics. Thc small ancient Roman asked for nothing better than the song of his nurse: J.3U-J. lal'a, lalla. .A tit dounl. aut lacte. This two-line lullaby constitutes one of the few. but sufficient, proofs which have come down to us of tho existence among the people of old Rome of a sort of folk verse not by any means resem bling thc Latin classics, but bearing a considerable likeness to the eanti jwjiti Inri of thc modern Italian peasant. It may be said parenthetically that thc study of dialect tends altogether to the conviction that there are country peo ple now living in Italy to whom, rather than to Cicero, we should go if we want to know what style of speech was in use among the humbler subjects of ths C.-vsar. The lettered lan guage of the cultivated classes changes; tho spoKen tongue of the uneducated remains the same; or. if it too undergoes a process of change, the rate at which it mores is to the other wlial the pace of a tortoise is to the speed of an express train. About 800 years ago a handful of Lombards went to Sicily, where they still preserve the Lombard idiom- The Ober-Engad-iner could hold converse wilh his re mote ancestors who took refuge in thc Alps three or four centuries before Christ; the Aragoncse colony at Alghe ro, in Sardinia, yet discourses in Cata lan; the Roumauian language still con tains terms and expressions which, though dissimilar to both Latin and standard Italian, find their analogues in the dialects of those eastward-facing "Latin plains" whence, in all proba bility, the people of Rou mania sprang.
