DR.. John q. Patton, missionary to the
south sea islands, describes the dress of
native bride on her first appearance at
church after the ceremony. Perhaps those
who follow the fashions" will like to
make q note Of the various garments for
future reference. though hardly for imi-
tation.
Her bridal gown was a mans drab col
ored greatcoat, put on above her native
grass skirts and sweeping down to her
heels, buttoned tight. Over this she had
hung on vest, and above that again, most
amazing Of all, she had donned pair of
mems trousers, drawing the body over her
head and leaving a leg dangling gracefully
over each OF her shoulders and streaming
down her back.
Fastened to one shoulder was red
shirt, and to the other striped one, wav-
ing about her like wings, as she sailed
along. About her head red shirt had
been twisted like turban and her notions
of art demanded that q sleeve thereof
should hang aloft over each of her ears.
She seemed to be a moving monster,
loaded with mass of rags. The day was
exceedingly hot and perspiration poured
over her face In streams. Her husband
looked at me and then at her, as II to say,
You never saw, In all your white world,
a bride so grandly dressed"

HE BEAT THE MASTERS.
A short Sketch OF Piilsbury, Who Won
the Great Chess Tournament.

sn0 uHoos Onoso AOoEnosnonss
The great chess masters tournament at
Hastings, England, Is over, and Pillsbury,
the 22-year- old player from Brooklyn, has
been heralded far and wide as the proud
winner of the first prize. In consequence
. short sketch of the young man will be
appropriate at this time
Harry n. Pillsbury was born at Boston
on Dec. 8, 1879. He learned to play chess
when 10 years DID, but he had become so
formidable player In 1890 as to defeat H.
n. Stone, the famous Boston crack, In a
set match by score of to 2. In 1892,
after having been a member of the Boston
Chess club for two years, he defeated John
+. Barry, another strong Boston player,
In a match by games to 4.
When Steinitz visited the Boston club
In the same year, he tried to concede to
Pillsbury the odds of pawn and move but
In vain, for the young player won about
all the games played. A year later he de-
feated both Schottlander and Walbrodt,
who had visited Boston, while he made a
big showing himself at the Franklin
Chess club In June, 1898, by winning six,
losing one and drawing two match games
against the principal players of that club.
In the fall of 1898 Pillsbury won the
first prize of the international tournament,
played under the auspices of the City
Chess club, and within the last two years
he played with great success In all the
matches arranged by the Brooklyn Chess
club, as the representative Of which organ

But through the fields and pastures go
The vagrant breezes. signing

All its brown pebbles showing

To call them forth from sleep.
There comes q breath from out the west

And. 10, their dream Is donei

When the year grows old,

And the sundower's gold
Turns to common dross and crumblcs into

Fade and pale before the splcndor Of the
aster's purple dyes;
Then the copse-ent anYled byways. and

Flecked with bits of flaming crimson that
the fiery maple yields.

And the hilltops wear a halo--whcu tho

Pipes and whistles down the highway like

When the GRAY clouds frowu
Aud the thistle-down
Fits and trips merry measure in its
silver spanglcd gown:
Then the hazel nuts are falling IN mad
and may trance,
Aud the rustling leaves are calling to the
thistlc's airy dance:
Yet touch of melancholy rests upon the
wood and void,
And the sun is yelled and hazy when the
year grows old.
When the year grows old
When the bright days fold
Their phantom tents aud speed adowu
the centuries untold;
When the moments fly,
And the hours slip by
Like the shuttle Of n footstcp or the

Then the sumac clad In glory holds the

And the oak tree, grim and hoary, guards
