Musical HohenzoIlerns.

The announcement that Kaiser
Wilhelm has composed number OF
patriotic airs, which are to be sung
by the troops at the German army
maneuvers, is a reminder that the
Prussian royal family has a special
talent for the creative side of musical
art. Prince Henry of Prussia has COM
posed several marches which are very
popular in the German army and navy.
and last year the emperor presented
to the Royal Academy OF Music a
splendidly bound volume OF musical
compositions by Prince Louis Ferdi-
nand OF Prussia. William II. is partic-
ularly proud Of the stirring Song of
Aegir," of which he is both composer
and librettist The kaiser's famous
ancestor Frederick the Great. was
easily the most prolific of all royal
composers, having over one hundred
compositions to his credlt-Westmin

Earning College Expenses.

Miss Florence McArdle, a senior a

employment bureau. This year about
one hundred women students have
been supplied with work. Boston uni

bureau for its students.
Miss McArdle says that one OF the
best ways for girls to work their way
through college is to get into a fam.
lily where in return for performiEe
certain household duties they get
room, board, laundry and car fares
Never before have so many girls been
working their way by this method as
This year and the supply was net
equal to the demand. Miss McArdle
is working her way through college
and in return for a specified number
OF hours at the bureau gets her tut
ton free. Before taking up this work
she had tutored, done Office work ana
many other things to support herself

DICKENS METHOD OF LABOR
Great Novelist Evolved Plots as He
Walked, According to Testimony
of Old Friend.

Marcus Stone, the veteran painter
whose old-fashioned young men and
maidens meeting or parting IN old
fashioned gardens have for so many
years delighted the British public.
celebrated his 72nd birthday last
week He has been giving some of
his "reminiscences.
Every Christmas and every summer
for 20 years Marcus Stone used to
visit Charles Dickens at his various
homes, especially at Gad's Hill, near
Rochester.
Dickens" says Stone, was one Of
the greatest and kindest men l ever
met. He was imbued with the true
Christian spirit. What particularly
struck me at Gad's Hill was the at
mosphere OF calm and comfort one
felt at once on entering the house.
AT o'clock every afternoon we
used to have a 20-mile walk in the
country round Dickens spoke but lit.
tie while walking, and this after
time led me to discover the secret of
his amazing industry. He sat only for
few hours at his desk. and l always
wondered how he could be so prolific
an author.
We'll, owing to his taciturnlty in
our country walks began to suspect
that It was then he evolved most of
the plots OF his novels. His brain
was active all the time and the task
OF reproducing on paper the things he
imagined and thought about became
more or less a mechanical process.
