The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-06
COFFEE DRIED IN GREAT FLAT BOXES.

though there are some which are much
larger. There is a man named Shredder,
for instance, who has Thousands acres,
and who IS putting out more every year.
He had not a large capital, but he bought
cheap land and put in his first trees in
1894 He has already had a profit of
$4,000 this year from his plantation, and
he has thousands of young trees coming
on, and within ten years his income will
be 100000 a year. There is a Dutchman
from Java who has just gone into the
coffee business here who will soon have
a similarly large property, and there are
other men who are quietly buying up
coffee lands.
PRICES OF LANDS.
And this brings me to the subject OF
land values. The conditions have been
so unsettled that 1t is hard to say just
what they are. l have asked many Ques-
lions, and have been answered that cof-
fee lands are worth all the way from $25
to $500 per acre. I have heard of some
coffee men who want $500 per acre, but
this is for rich plantations in bearing.
Some of the cheaper lands are back
from the roads, and so situated that it IS
costly to get the coffee to market. The
value Of such lands will be greatly in
creased by the new roads which the gov
eminent is contemplating.
Many of the large Plantations, both
sugar and coffee. are owned by non-res-
idents. Some are the property of BARGE
Iona Jews and other rich Spaniards. They
have been paying well, and IT is doubtful
whether they can be bought cheap. I am
told that the Spaniards consider their
land of more value since the Americans
have taken possession. Among these is
a Spanish officer who commanded in the
recent war. He was asked the other day
If he was going to sell out his Porto Ri
can property and go back to Spain. He
replied:
mo, prefer to stay mere and give up
my pension. The change of government
will increase the value or my property,
and l can't afford to let 1t 60"
MORTGAGED ESTATES.
On the other hand there are many
coffee properties which are heavily
motgaged. Interest rates here run from
10 per cent upward. and l and per cart
a month are common. The war has ma
terially retarded all kinds Of business,
and at present some of the planters are
so cramped that they want to SELL Theirs
is a good chance to buy the mortgage
7 notes, and the man who brings his money
here and loans it to these Porto Rican
coffee men will get high rates of inter-
est, and in time have a chance at the
land itself.
No one should come to raise coffee

satisfied with the observation of facts as
they pass before 1t, and those obvious re-
lat1onS which 1ntrude themselves upon
Its notice; but the philosopher analyses
the phenomena, and thus discovers their
more minute relations; his genius Is dis
covered above the industry of the mere
observer of facts, when he thus traces
principles of accordance among facts,
which to the vulgar eye appear remote
and dissimilar. A remarkable example
OF this is familiar to every one: between
the fall of an apple from a tree and the
motion of that which is known as the
heavenly bodies, a common mind would
have been long ere 1t discovered any kind
Of relation; but upon such a relation,
Newton founded those grand principles
by which he brought to light the order
and harmony Of the universe" Perhaps
the best chapter in the book Is on that
fneXhaustible theme, Education from
which the following is an extract: ITO
truthfully define all that can be expressed
by the word or term education would i'm
ply the perfection Of that system of
knowledge or training which develops and
improves all the possibilities and capa-
bilittes Of which the human nature is sus-
ceptible.
In completeness it may be likened to
river, whose head being far in the land
Is at first rising little, and easily viewed;
not without pleasure and delightful
widening; while it is on both sides set
with trees, and the beauties of various
flowers. But STILL the further you follow
1t the deeper and broader it is, till at
last 1t inwaves itself in the unfathomed
ocean: there you see more water, but no
shore, no end to that liquid Yastness. In
many ways we may sound Nature, but
only in the shadows of her revelations.
We may trace her to her second cause,
but beyond that we meet with nothing
but the dazzle of the minds eye.
while we speak of things that are,
that we may dissect, and haYe power and
means to find the causes, there is some
pleasure, some certainty. But when we
come to metaphysics-or to long-buried
ant1quity-we are in sea which is deep
er than the reach of the line of man.
Much may be gained by studious 1nquist-
ton, but much more will ever rest which
man canont discover. For wisdom is a
place Of which only the vestibule has been
entered; nor can we guess what treasures
are hid in those chambers, Of which past
experience can afford oeither analogy nor
cleW."

When the Thermometer, Is the only am
bltious thing in the universe and one is
h0pelessly sunk in fathomless incidence
one turns with weary content from the
fnvolutions of Henry James, the subtle
ties Of Maeterlink and The unsolved prob
lens of Ibsen to simple, old-fash1oned
love story; and the simpler and more old
fashioned it is the greater is ones con-
tent. In this mood no ones stories are
more acceptable than Clara Louise Burn
hams, and Tho Wise Woman is one
of her best.
Miss Burnham is never mawklshly SEN
timental, and the enjoying of live whole
some, light fiction never involves the sac
rtfce Of the readers self-respect. Tho
Wise Woman" has nothing bizarre in It's
plot, nothing disturbing in its morals,
nothing startling in its characters. The
people are reasonable and quite natural
human beings, the situations very =ordi-
nary and very interesting, and the book
as a whole is very readable and restful.

without he has enough to buy his land
and to keep himself and his workmen for
the first four years. He should have as
much as $4,000 to establish almost any
kind of plantation, and above that the
more the better. He could not take
hundred acres Of land and bring 1T into
coffee bearing within five years for much
less than $25, 600. At the end of that time
his profits would come in rapidly, and
he would probably be able to make from
Is to Is per cent on his investment for

HOW COFFEE IS GROWN.
So far I have seen no well-culti-
waited coffee plantations in Porto Rico.
In Brazil the coffee estates are like
gardens. The trees are trimmed. They
grow in great bushes in regular rows,
which are plowed and hoed and kept
free from weeds. The plants are first
grown in nurseries and carefully set
out. Here the most of the plants are
from the seeds which fall to the ground.
They are set out without order. being
shaded for the first year by banana
plants and after that by larger trees.
The result is they grow tall and spind-
ling, with trunks like pipe stems.
The coffee trees begin to flower In
April. Soon green berries take the place
Of the blossoms and by October there is
a wealth of rich, red coffee cherries
shining out Of the green leaves. The
coffee berry is of just the size of a
cherry. 1t grows close to the branch
rather than on a stem, like cherry. In
each cherry are two of the half-round
coffee beans of commerce. They are the
seeds Of the cherry.
The coffee berries do not all ripen at
the same time. The trees must be picked
over again and again during the season,
and coffee picking forms one of the chief
industries Of the island. 1t IS in the pick
ing season that the poems make the most
Of their money. They have work at this
time for from three to four months, and
men, women and children are seen among
the bushes picking the berries into bas-
kets and carrying them off to the factory
on their heads. The little ones pick the
berries on the lower stems. while the men
and women bend down the taller trees
and gather the ones higher up. The pick
