Hermann and Jones, the authors of

clares that the whole play, save some
unimportant lines, was written by him,
and that every character in it was drawn
by him, although he comedies that Her
mann assisted in evolving the plot.
An exchange states that "when asked
recently when he did his composing,
Strauss, the distinguished musician, re-
piled that he usually worked in the morn
ing, as his nervousness interfered with
his labors in the afternoon. His musical
ideas, however, come to him uneXpect-
eddy at all hours OF the day and even at
night. In the latter case he does not get
up and write them down, but tries to
give general idea OF them to his wife,
who has good memory and repeats
them next morning. Occasionally
Strauss added, 4 attend concerts in my
dreams, at which 1 hear the most won
derful compositions.
