them. Several years ago one of the most
capable men in the employ of Harpers not
only suggested but strongly urged that ad-
vantage be taken of the steadily increas-
ing interest In music that was observable
in this country by paying attention TO lit
erature which dealt with that subject,
literature which treated not so much of
the technical side but would appeal TO
the amateur and the musically unedu-
Gated He was not listened to. The re-
suit was that another publishing house
saw what the Harpers did not and began
TO make a speciality of musical literature
with the result that It practically con-
trolls the market for books of this kind
and mas built up most profitable BUSH
ness. Other publishers seeing its success
nave gone into it to greater or less ex-
tent, but 10 all intents and purposes the
field Is closed TO them because the firm
which was bright enough to see an oppor-
tunity and grasped 1T, through its timeli-
ness mas not only made foreign connec-
tons which allows il TO control the impor-
tations, but Ii has become so dominant in
the field that the public turns to ii instinc-
lively when in need of such books.
Inc injection of new methods into the
publishing trade, which have caused so
much worry and trouble for some of the
oioer and more conservative houses, is un-
doubtedly unfortunate and possibly I'M
necessary but regrets over the loss of dig
nifty and the like will not change any of the
conditions. The fact that two of the Oldest
and most prominent publishing firms In the
country nave failed within a few months
OF each other is no reason for the pessi-
mistfc views one is constantly hearing
about the present and future state of the
trade. Men who are best informed say
that these failures are merely incidental TO
the change that is being wrought in the
business and do not in the least indicate
desperate state of affairs as some would
make out Moreover, in both cases, there
are specific causes of purely business ma
ture which would have made ii difficult for
any company in any business to endure for
long. Mismanagement, bad policy and
shortsightedness with other things will
ruin any business IL given a chance. The
Harpers seem once more to have recov-
cred their grip, although almost all of the
original company has disappeared. The
new management has so far, according to
best accounts, been very successful, and
there is no reason TO believe that the name
will not continue to hold its honored place
in the trade. AS for the Appletons, the
trouble seems to be but temporary and not
nearly so complicated as was the Harpers'
failure, so there is no reason TO believe that
there will be any serious interference with
it's business. Nearly all the publishers,
new and old. that keep abreast of the times
are prosperous, and those who are best
fitted to speak on the subject are confident
that the present uncertainty will in the end

INVESTMENTS IN MINING STOCKS.
A Matter to BE Entered Into with
Great Caution.
New York Financier.

New York Financier.
We are frequently requested to render
opinions concerning the value of mining
stocks as investments. Technical replies.
OF course are dependent upon expert IN
vestigation, and as a general rule, nothing
but answers covering the field casually are
possible. Considering the matter In broad
light, several fundamental principles Will Do
found sufficient to shape a general policy
with reference to mining investments, more
especially those which are based on ieg1ti-
mate expectations. III all the representa-
tons made In prospectuses were true, or IL
sanguine hopes, often set forth with as
surance, were even half realized, IL would
be easy to tender advice. But, unfortu-
nately, this is not the case.
The investor who is not familiar with
mining should always remember that
prospect is not a mine, and no expert can
do more than report what he sees; what he
does not under the ground Is often OF
more Importance than what he reports
on the surface. Hence IL is not uncommon
for experts to report unfavorably on min
ing property which afterward. by devei-
opment, is shown to be very valuable On
the other hand, no mining shares should be
purchased without disinterested expert adj
vice. Many people reason that since no one
can tell exactly what lies underground hav-
ing surface veins or indications, IL Is good
business TO risk funds in the hope OF quad
rupling profits in the future. This has been
done over and over again, but IL Is gam
bler's chance at best, and considered from
worse. We are not now referring TO devel-
opment work by owners, but rather 10 the
average prospectus that reaches the public.
The question of chance settled nearly
is possible the problem Of management
is quite as important Even a rich prop
erty without honest or efficient control Will
be a disappointment to the shareholders
Development work Is usually tedious, and
unless conducted with economy and a fixed
plan in mind, is apt to result in delay and
failure. Mining is a legitimate industry
as legitimate, in fact, as agriculture. and
has done much to add to the prosperity OF
the country. but when IL comes 10 invest
ment, we can only say that IL Is best TO act
upon conclusions based on the several
points outlined above. In fact. the caution
exercised in placing money in any legiti-
mate industrial or commercial project
should be exercised in mining investments.
Another important point to be remembered
after dividend paying shares have been
purchased is that a sinking fund for the
security of principal is essential. mine
Is not a railroad, and revenue is liable TO
stop suddenly.

advanced ladies and two advanced men,

blonde and her volubility was amazing.

COFFEE FROM CENTRAL AFRICA.
Beginnings Of Wonderful Develop
ment I'm the Region Of Lake Nyassa.
New York SUI

New York Sun.
Some forty years ago Livingstone saw the
great Lake Nyassa and told the world of
his interesting discovery. Few Of the ma
tives had even heard of a white man and
none had ever seen one. II IS beautiful
region of mountain and valley, particularly
south of the lake on which steamers now
ply for 300 miles to the north.
Fifteen years ago two brothers, named
Buchanan, who were pioneers In that re-
gion. took a few coffee plants to the Nyassa
highlands and set them out on the slopes
OF one OF the mountains. The little plants
were carefully nurtured and they thrived,
and from the few coffee trees thus intro
duced have sprung all the tens of thou
sands that are now bearing on those fertile
uplands. One of the Buchanan brothers is
dead, but other planters have come to the
country and the exports of Lake Nyassa
coffee may before long make an impression
upon the European market.
Mr.. Patrick Robertson, who has recently
arrived in England from British Central
Africa, as that district is called. says the
coffee crop now growing VIII yield at least
1000 tons for export and will all be sent to
the London market. where the merits OF
the products have been recognized for some
years. Every pound of the crop will have

evangelical church, and differs In its creed
from other denominations only in the fact
that its members are pledged to forego a
diet of flesh. Outside of any organized cult,
the diet question has become a matter OF
such serious consideration that there are
vegetarians who, when they are asked out
to dine or sup, carry bread of their own
baking with them. Among vegetarians
there is a threatened split over ducks. Some
of the cult claim that the meat of the duck
is really fish. Whatever their differences
