%T WINTER'S END. The weedy fallows winter-won Where cattle shiver under sodden nay, The plouchlands long and lorn? The fading day. The sullen shudder of the brook, And winds that wring tbe written trees 'n vain For drearier sound or look? The lonely rain.

"Has tUe widow no friends?" |"xes, but tney are as poor as inc. "How will she manage to live?" said the Frenchman. and his friend replied carelessly: "Soeh people have few needs."

An interesting ethnological discovery bus just been made as a result of tbe observations of Father Jette, 8. J., son of Sir L. A. Jette. Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Quebec. Father Jette is a missionary among the Xulato Indians whose babitat is near the polar circle. He has mode a careful study of their language, and in writing to some of his colleague* in New Mexico he quoted words used by the Nulato. To the jntrat surprise of those who received Father Jette's letter the Nulato words were found to be identical with words in the Apache tongue. The result was further correspondence. and ultimately the discovery that these two tribes of Indians, now living thousands of miles apart and in vastly different climates, have the sniue language. From this fact tbe deduction has been tuade that the Apaches of New Mexico originally came from the far North, thus tending to contirm tbe theory of a common Asiatic origin. ? New York Sun.
