It looks to the New York Sun as
though the cave-dwelling race, which
once lived IN Arizona and the regions
thereabout, had been discovered as far
north as Alaska, or upon small island
off the Alaskan coast which was recently
visited by the United States cruiser
Bear. The Bears officers, while explor.
ing the upper surface of the rock known
as Kings Island, which rises above the
waters of the Bering Strait, found an alb
original tribe of cave dwelers, who seem
to possess some Of the characteristics of
the curious people which in old times
existed far to the southwark. From the
account given of the dwellings we infer
that, in construction and in grouping,
they resemble those of the cliff dwellers
of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
Some of their implements are similar to
those that we're made by the cave and
cliff people elsewhere; but their food Is
not like that which was used by their
southern kin, who had no opportunity
of fattening upon whale blubber or wal
rus meat. 1t is hardly worth while,
however, to speculate about these Alas
kan cave dwellers until we have fuller
information concerning them. That the
island had some inhabitants was known
before it was visited by the Captain OF
the Bear, whose report is likely to be OF
interest to American archeologists.

And Minette, in her enthusiasm, over
ruled poor Mr.. Trebleton's feeble objec-
tions.
"a comfortable home" she had called
it, but to the poverty-stricken inhabi-
tants of a tenement-house on Grand
street the little brown-stone dwelling
seemed a palace, with its bright open
fires, its sweetness of hot-house flowers,
its moss-soft carpets, dark oiled boards
and walls tinted with the softest Of
cOlors.
Mr.. Trebleton sat feebly down in the
big velvet armchair; his pale, sickly
daughters stood beside him, embarrassed,
yet happy in their young cousins warm
Southern welcome.
"Do you mean," he faltered, "that
we are to live here-always?"
"What else could 1 possibly meant"
said Ninette, kneeling to arrange the
coffee and fruit on the table at his side.
"Are you not my cousins2 Where should
your home be but with mea"
Mr.. Trebleton brushed something
from his eyelashes.
"Ninette, said he, family, 81 do not
deserve this. II didn't treat you SO,
when you came solitary orphan to my
housel"
"Let all that be forgotten" said Nj
nette, gently. "Remember, only, that
you are welcome, more than welcome to
my hearth aud home!"
So Stephens Trebleton and his daugh-
ters stayed on, always, in the sunny lit
tie brown-stone house. And Ninette
was happy, for she had it in her power
to bestow happiness.
''Of what use is money, if not to help
others with2" said sweet Ninette. "And
they are my cousins, tool"
But Mr.. Trebleton had not argued
thus on that snowy December night
when Ninette Beauvoir came, homeless
and solitary, to him.
"Lord be mercitul to me, sinner, ="
he breathed. "But never knew, until

THE sNow-wEAvER,s SONG.

TIL e SN0 SoNos
Back and forth the shuttles go,
Fashioning the cloth Of snow,
And the weaver you may hear
At the wind loom singing clears
"Slumber, little flowers, and dream
OF the silver throated stream,
Shining through the April day
As it were music ray
Bearing melody along
From the mellow sun of song.
Slumber, little fragrant faces.
Dreaming in your quiet places;
Soon the dreams shall pass-and then
You and spring shall wake againP
Thus the weaver at his loom
Sings away the winters gloom,
While he weaves the coverlet
For the dreamers who forget:
''Slumber. little flowers, and dream
or the ApriPsgolden beam
Which shall come and fill your eyes
With the sunlight of surprise:
Wsking, you shall hear once more
Song birds at the daybreak's door.
Slumber, little fragrant faces,
Dreaming in your quiet places,
Soon the dreams shall pass-and then
You and spring shall wake againp
