The handsome deposed ruler Of Por-
tugal, ex-King Manuel. although un-
lucky in war and state, seems to be
lucky in love. His engagement to the
pretty Princess Augustine Victoria Of
Hohenzolern has recently been an
nounced, and the royal lovers are said
to be very devoted to each other.
Little is known of the Princess Au-
gustina in Berlin. as all Of her life has
been spent in the south Of Germany.
There is much talk in German court
circles, however, as to what title she
will bear as Manuel's wife. Some ex-
perts declare her rank will be only
that of duchess. with the title of royal
highness, while other well posted au-
thorities assert she will share her hus-
bands courtesy title and be known as
Queen Augustine Victoria.
The young couple will be able to set
up housekeeping in good style, as ex-
King Manuel has pension Of $4,000 a
month and the family of the princess
| Is wealthy.

Hobbies Fine For Ones Health.

Have you hobby? If you haven't
you should have, for a hobby is the
short cut to health.
SO says a woman with a hobby, and
she ought to know
The woman who broods on her trOu-
bles, who broods on her poverty, who
brOods on her wealth or her health, is
likely to suffer for it, Poor health be-
comes the poorer for thinking Of 1t.
Poverty becomes the harder to bear
when it is continually contrasted with
somebody else's plenty. A hobby will
give the mind something else to dwell
on and so will avert all health break
ing worries.
you know" said this woman who
advocates hobbies for health, I'VE are
good deal like animals, We are
influenced by one idea at a time You
know the story some one tells Of the
donkey who wouldn't go. Coaxing and
beating were both useless. Then some
one came along and forced clod Of
earth in his mouth He got so inter
ested in the unusual thing in his mouth
that he trotted along without know
ing It.
"JVell If we have hobbies to think
Of we go straight ahead and live our
lives as we ought to live them without
knowing it."
Any sort Of hobby is healthful. II
you are interested in photography
maize that your hobby, only go at 1t
with a purpose Take up one subject
and keep to it. Perhaps It is trees or
sGllboats or children or cats or door
ways. Take all the photographs you
con, sort and classify them and com
pare them, and the work will be en-
crossing.
Or perhaps you are interested in
flowers. Go in for roses or bulbs. Col
lcct them in the winter, grow them in
the summer, read about them, write
about them, cut clippings about them
and sketch them, or, If you are inter
ested in books, haunt the book shops,
go to old book stalls and buy few
books judiciously. Catalogue your own
books and read until your eyes are
tired.
II you pursue hobby faithfully 1t
will help you out Of all your troubles.
Moreover, a hobby produces results
Of actual money value sometimes or Of
artistic or scientific value, which is bet
ter. A woman who had always been
interested in genealogical matters sud
denly realized this fact She had gone
about from graveyard to graveyard
making impressions Of old tombstones;
she had copied records in old churches
and courthouses; she had questioned
old inhabitants OF all the towns she
bad ever visited. Her taste for ances.
toru gave a point to her travelling and
an interest to her life. And finally she
found that she had copies Of records
which no one else had and a vast col
lection Of material well sorted and
classified which was Of real value.
Have hobby. Stick TO It and It will
bring you happiness Candlesticks or
cookbooks, puppies or prlmroses-any-
thing will do. only-hnve a hobby.

Rodney Temple was at Cranes Beach
that summer for the express purpose
of proposing to Miss Worthington.
He, too, was swimmer, and many
