SAVING GRACE OF A HOBBY.
II RsYivea Hope and Enthusiasm and
Makes Life Worth Living.


"a priceless thing is hobby The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are fayorloss, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones hobby
may offer the dearest hopes of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily task.
| 1t will at any ratio serve to entertain
and give point and flavor to an other
wise blank existence" is the position
taken by Carrie Il. Garrett discussing
"WomHn's Dreams and Hobbies IN
Tho Woman Is Homo Companion.
"ITobbies have tho power to concen
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
| purposeless flirtations, building super
fluons bonnets, reading cheap sensations
g0ssipinR away precious moments, pick
ing out our friends foibles, dissecting
our own emotions and wishing vaguely
for everything which is attainable If
the hobby did nothing else but prevent
these friYolities, il would be boon to
humanity
Man found out the value of hobbies
long ago Almost every man who is
good for anything has purpose which
no thinks is quito tho most magnificent
ono which Il man could pursue 1t is no
matter whether it is lawmaking, pill
making or shoemaking, ho pursues it
with absorbing enthusiasm and strives
TO make the best laws or pills or shoes

enough TO merely look pretty; that love

Co1lapses.
! Managua, Me-, Dec. 2.-The attempt
to effect a coalition between the States
OF Nicaragua. Honduras and Salvador,
ito be conducted under O common ad-
,ministration and known as the United
States Of Central America, has failed
lcompletely. The federal organizers
yesterday formally declared the union
dissolved, the three states resuming
respectively absolute sovereignty. The
collapse is due to the failure of the
troops Of Honduras, acting in behalf
lof the federal organizers, to suppress
the outbreak in Salvador against the
proposed federation and to force Sal
lvador into the union. The prospects
lare peaceful.

of a revolution in the judgment Of Of
ficials and diplomats familiar with af-
fairs in that quarter. President Gui-
terrez has given way to Gen. Regal
ado, who has formed a provisional
government. The changes are con-
strued by some of them as death
blow to the newly-formed republic
composed of Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua, one of whose main pur-
poses was to provide a joint military
force for common defense against up
risings, but other diplomats take just
the reverse view.
