to land him into the deepest place.
In trying to turn corner where the
walk is high. the wheel takes notion
to go straight ahead much to the
chagrin and disgust of the rider, who
finds it hard to be christian at all
times. He starts to go down a nice,
smooth Hill, with all of the confidence
of gold bug, and finds himself butt
ing his head against harder one in
the ditch. The doctor tells him he
will be able to try it over again in a
few days. He rides on majestically
thinking of the fine appearance he
must pe making when he feels the
wind gently lifting the ne! of the S.!
of his hat; when he stitfens up his
strong right on the handle bar and
proceeds to adjust the tottering head
gear, the bike again takes mean ad-
vantage and doubles up like jack
knife, and again he feels Inundated
at his position in life. He persevers,
however, and if his life is spared he
finds in time that his once obstinate,
headstrOng bike has become as gentle
as a lamb, is always ready to respond
to the slightest touch of the pedals or
turn as he wills without a particle of
hesitation. 1t gently glides along the
smoothest places, stunning the
stones, ruts and mud puddles, until
he wonders that he could be SO stupid
in learning to manipulate such a
simple machine. La passing through
the conditions mentioned above the
careful. cool-headed, considerable per-
son generally comes out ahead at the
end. Cycling, like everything else,
requires patience, consideration and
little judgment.

GOgebic and VermiIion Out.

The Illinois Steel company, it is
reported, has closed contracts for the
seasons supply of iron ore, and is now
out of the market, It's purchases
amount to 100000 tous in addition
to 100000 tons which were, not de-
livered in last years contracts, max
ing 5000 ton to be delivered this
season, which is all, that will be re-
quired.
There are some strange facts in con-
nection with the contracts made by
the IllinoisGSteel company that will
prove pulling to ore men. Allof the
supply will come from the. Mesaba,
Marquette and Menominee ranges, no
Gogebic or Vermilion ore being in
Guided. Of the i 900, GOO tons pur-
chased last week 60O,OO tons will be
supplied by the Minnesota Iron COM
pany from the Mesaba range, the re-
manning 100000 tons coming from the
Menominee and Marquette ranges.
| The NOrrie mine which held out at
the meeting of mine owners in Cieve-
land with the Minnesota Iron com
pany for the ruinously low prices now
prevailing, and which was responsible
! for the dissolution of the old pool had
expected the Illinois Steel company
to be one of its best customers. and
now since that company is out of the
market, and has purchased. it's entire
supply for the season without taking
a ton of NOrrie ore that mine has put
its entire force on half time and is
curtailing it's output. With it's pros
pective best customer out Of the way,
with $500, 900 tons of unsold ore on
the Lake Erie docks, and the Carnegie
mills getting their entire supply from
the Mesaba and the Consolidated pro-
perties on the old ranges the market
for Norrie ore is indeed very limited

MOKUAWEOWEO: A PARAPHRASE

[For the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
and Hawaiian Gazette.l
High above the cloudy girdle hung
around the mountains breast,
When the flames of sunset burned all
along the crimsoned west,
l stood on Mauna Loa's height by the
fiery fountains head
Saw the spires of Mauna Kea in the
evening blushing red.
But the twilight never fingers in the
tropics, when the sun
Sinks beyond the golden waters, and
his daily cours is run,
The Southern Cross is trailing DER the
dusky wings Of night,
And the Polar Star is twinkling with
its pale and frosty light.
Here the god of Desolation sits un-
challenged on his throne,
There is never bud nor blossom where
the icy breeze blown
From the northward lift the curtain
of the smoke and yapOr drawn
Ger the pahoehoe and ashes, where
unfathomed assures yawn.
of fern or blade of grass.
Not a tiny moss or lichen TO tighten up
a dark creVasse.
Only clouds of sulphury vapor, from
the clefts among the stones,
And lambent tongues of flame aleap
from blowing cones.
High encamped on beds of lava, mid
the wastes of ice and snow,
Where the shattered rocks are light
ened by the crater's fitfuI glow,
We gaze in awe and silence into the
wide and deep abyss,
Where the molten rivers run and the
fiery cataracts hiss.
All the vault of heaven is kindled with
weird unearthy glare,
From the burning pits and caldrons
where Geheunas torches flare;
The rocks are rent asunder by the
stress of blood-stained waves,
And long reVerberate thunders echo
through the believing caves.
The hills to their foundations shake by
the earthquakes shivering
shocks,s
The loud resounding echoes of the
crash of falling rocks,
Till the night with fear and terror as
they boom from from fell to fell.
While the cliffs are drenched with
spindrift reeking red as rains of
hell.
From the white heart of the furnace
and unfathomed deeps upsprung
Intermittent f1aring fountains that
Tapped with quivering tongues
The SCARED and riven boulders, and
enveloped every spire,
And drowning rocks were wallowing
in whirlpoOls of fire.
My wearied wOrn-out comrades had ex-
hausted fallen asleep,
| alone of my companions stood in
awe upon the steep,
With the frosty stars above me SHIN
mering through the yellow haze
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1897-09-30

TraiIed across the vault of heaven by
the crater's ftfuI blaze.
| alone on Mauna Loa, when no human
eye but mine
Saw the fash of angry fountains, and
the splintered rocks ashine,
With the light by God enkindled on the
lonely mountain dome,
And the fires forever breaking in a
surf Of crimson foam.
Knew that miles and miles below us
there were palm and mango
groves,
With the shafts of moonlight stealing
into sweet and shady coves-
That the dews of night were kissing
the bright blossoms on the tree
And the rivers Tapped the yellow sands
by the margin Of the sea.
In my loneliness I wondered if the
sun would shine again,
Would there ever be cessation of the
binding crimson rain?
Would the earth be green again, and
all things fair and bright,
And would l e'er to human ears tell the
tale of this midnight?
Far uplifted DER the world, 'bove it's
storms of love and hate,
Above the wreck of thrones-the ever
varying pulse of fate,
Above the clash of human thought,
here with music of its own
The volcano roars, and burns for the
eye of God alone.

TWO TALENTED MUSICIANS.

Tho many friends of Mr.. Henry Hum
phrey Of this city, who has been abroad
for two and one-balf years completing
a musical education, will be glad tc
know that he has made his plans to re.
turn home with Mr.. Chas. True, the sue
cessor of Mr.. Harvey Murray. Mr.. Hum.
phrey was former pupil Of Mr.. Murray
and upon his advice went abroad fol-
study. He spent his first year in Brus
sells, then went to Leipsig where he stud
led with krauger, one of the first of liv
ing teachers.
Mr.. Humphrey had planned TO remain
abroad until early summer of 'eS, but
as he has been associated with Mr.. True
felt that he would prefer to return with
Mr.. True, who will take up his new du.
ties, the first Of the year.
These two young ambitious men have
had unusual opportunities rs Leipsia
is celebrated for its splendid music. I,
is here that the Gewandhaus orchestra
give their first concerts, among tho best
in the world, and Mr. True and Mr..
Humphrey have many times awaited
themselves of the privilege of listening
to them. 1t is good thing for Portland
that just at this time when mir. Murray
is to leave here, two such talented mn-
sicians are to return to take his place, land
that their interests are to be identical.

w5sTBRook SEMINARY NOTES.

The fall term OF Westbrook Seminary
closed on December 10, after enc of the
most successful terms in its history. The
attendance Was unusually large and the
whole tone and character of the school
were of tho highest order.
Hersey hall (the hall for the young
ladies) has just been thoroughly renovated
and newly furnished at large expense.
All the halls are now in most excellent
condition, with steam heat and modern
improvements, affording ample accom-
modations, second to none in the state.
Improvement and progress seem to be
the order of the day. The courses of
study are broad and well,ordered, allow.
ing much scope for elective work 1t has
large and experienced corps of teachers
representing five New England colleges
Bowdoin. Colby ,asBates, Tufts and Welles,
ley. Its president, Rev. Il. S, Whitman
Is now on his--sixth year. Its preceptress,
Hiss ID. N. Morton, is now on her
twelfth year. Four other teachers are
on their third, fourth, or sixth year.
Most thorough and painstaking care is
given to preparation for college, and its

from High schools are availing themselves
OF the superior advantages of this school.
The attractiveness of the situation and
the homo atmosphere of the school are to
