A New Experience for Germany.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE struggle on
the Berlin boerse over the shares of
the Hibernia Coal Co. is the sensation
of the day here. 1t is a new expert
ence for Germany to see great banks
engaged in fight to get control of an
immense property, accompanied by
the threats of one party to oust the
old directors and elect their own men.
The German market hitherto has as
sociated such phenomena exclusively
with Wall street finance. An interest
ing feature of the contest is that the
Prussian governiaent is the power be-
hind the throne.

years old, this far. Then comes the
confusion of placing the note. The
child Will earn each of the treble C's,
but every eighth note on the keyboard
is called c. Now, which shall she
strike? OF course, with pupils little
older, this may be managed, but my
method does away with all this con-
fusion.
Il teach the keyboard as lines and
spaces, not as letters. The notes are
called lines and spaces; each line and
each space on the music has its par
ticular place on the keyboard and the
child places it there. This makes
splendid sight-readers. The pupils at
tention remains undivided for, instead
of thinking of the note as G or G, the
pupil sees the note and places it imme-
diately."
Have you any actual results from
this method?"
Most certainly. have a great
number of pupils whom l began with
the very l.rst step-all of whom are
splendid illustrations of my method"
when do you teach the pupil the
names of the notes?"
After the pupil has learned to
place any note she sees, and this may
be done in a few lessons. begin the
scale work of one octave, and the
pupil learns the name of each scale
as 1t occurs-thus the first letter it
learns is c ana not A And now the

street and across many commonplace
housetops, and little turrets here and
there against the sky. Below, mingled
with the changing bells on the cars,

rumble of carts.
Down a long corridor flanked with
studios, through the open doors of
which one glimpse of art students at
their easels, the '1ise" class with their
charcoals, pupils decorating exquisite
porcelains, and each studio a story in
itself, bit of art bohemia, a world
distinctive and apart from that out
side which never looks across the
r.ousetops.
The Academy of Music is in the
Watts building, and occupies a large,
lcharmin'; room, overlooking Twen-
tieth street. The walls are hung with
blue, all an immense window occu-
pies almost the entire space on the
western side. There are soft drap-
cries through when the light fiickers.
1t is an extremely attractive studio. In
one end are two magnificent grand
pianos. The walls are hung with pic
lures of old masters, of latter day art
lists. There are several busts of the
comp osers. The book cases are filled
With musical histories and biographies,
and there are attractive sketches of
foreign life, German, French, Dutch
and Italian pictures picked up in Eu-
rope.
There is a 10 window seat filled
high with cushions and the wide re-

bles near by-his battered up fingers

1.-THE following Christmas he sent
me an exquisite copy of Later Love

his very th oughts had been Influenced
by his music, and had turned at
Christmas time to the beautiful and
eleyating thoughts, for which this lit
tie book is SO noted"
With reference to her book, Miss
Rowley said
1.-THE frs. edition of my Graded
Piano Course for Teachers has just
been completed. Oh will note that
have patronized home industry by
giving the publication to Roberts &
Son. This work consists of three d.
visions: Primary (first, second, third
and fourth grades); intermediate
first, second, third and fourth
grades); senior (first and second
grades.) Each grade consists of list
of books used in tn. grade, giving the
composer, opus, number and publisher
of each finger exercise book, scale
work, et1de, senate, ETC., used in the
grade. Following this list are all of
the lessons necessary to be given. The
entire book, consisting of $40 lessons
written out in detail, covers the entire
ground, from the very first lesson to
the last lesson of the senior course
The work in the first grade primary
is unusually interesting. 1t is based
upon the same principle that the pub
lie schools use in teaching a child to
read before it memories the alphabet
and enables me to teach children
End years of as, who have not yet
learned the alphabet.
Nov, to give you an idea of the
work with the old method child must
know the first seve.- letters of the al
phabet before it CT be taught" said
Miss Rowley. After memorizing these
letters the child is told that is in
