gained over Steinitz, who unsu

tried to concede him the odds of pawn and
move. He was entered in 1890 in the
American chess congress, receiving odds
from Burrille and other leading players
Young Pillsbury defeated Stone at evens
with score of to 2. He also played
match with Barry, strong New England
player, winning by score of 5 to t.
All of the leading devotees Of the game
played at Hastings. Lasker was looked
upon as probable winner, with Tschi-
gorin, Steinitz Blaekburne and Tarrasch
rs dangerous rivals while Pillsbury and
the others were in the dark horse category.
Pillsbury's victory against such an array
of talent is therefore the more remarka-
BILE rs he was pitted against men whose
experience in tournaments and matches
was calculated to at least overcome the
younger and less experienced players.
Pillsbury Is an active member of the
Brooklyn Chess club, and on his departure
for the scene of his great victory was the
recipient of a cordial demonstration at the
hands of that organization.
One feature of the great tournament
should fill Americans with pride. Pills
bury was the only native of the United
States in the contest, and he carried off
first honors for his country. He is the on
ly native American to beat the world at
chess since Paul Morphy won the honor
81 years ago.

BEES FORM FRIENDSHIPS.
Experiences Of a Young Man to Whom They
Took a Liking.

II always loved bees" said the young
man in gold bowed glasses behind tho
dairy counter as he handed down honey
comb for the inspection of an idle custom
er. "When 1 was on the farm he con-
tinued, II could go all about the hives
and not get stung, and none of the others
dared go near the bees. We used to have
an old farmer come around and tend to
tie swarms, hut one day when was boy
working in the fields heard great hum
ming noise up in the air and saw swarm
a-coming Well, picked up tin pan that
was there and hammered on 1t till the bees
settled on the end of fence rail Then
thought could tend to the swarm as well
as the old farmer, so 1 got an old hive,
washed it out with honey and water, rub
bed my hands and arms with burdock juice
and honey water, and went at the bees.
got them off that rail by the handful and
they never stung me
after that l regularly tended to tho
bees. Whenever there was swarm,
rolled up my sleeves, took off my shoes and
hat and went at them. have taken them
from all sorts of places, but was stung
only once. They'd light on my head by
the dozen and crawl through my hair.
That used to send cold chills down my
back. Sometimes my arms were so COW
cred with bees that from wrist to elbow
you couldn't see the flesh The one timo
when was stung had found swarm on
a high limb and was saving it off, and at
the same time holding ON to it so that it
should not fall to the ground with tho
bees. In doing this squeezed one of tho
bees, and it flow straight at my temple and
stung me just above the eye. Since left
the farm tic folks have given up the bee
business. There's no doubt about it, bees
Ike some folks and hate others, and 1
don't know any reason for the difference"

Two of a Kind.

Mrs. Salisbury, the mother Of Hetty
Thrales, never tired of telling the follow
ing story, which she averred actually &C.
CURED to lady friend of her acquaintance.
This lady was engaged to Lord Harry
Powlett, and one day in his presence ex-
pressed wish for a couple Of monkeys Of
particular kind, whereupon her fiance ut
once offered to obtain them. Lord Harry,
who happened to be On indifferent scribe
and worse speller, wrote to a friend In
the East Indies, requesting him to obtain
two monkeys and send them to England.
According to the story, he spelled the word
two too, but the 1T" was uncrossed and
so badly formed that his friend read it 100.
Accordingly, he wrote back to Lord Harry
to the effect that he had that day shipped
be followed by another 80 in few weeks
time.
We have no wish to cast suspicion upon
the veracity of Mrs. Salisbury by doubt
ing this story, the truth of which she
vouches for. All we would point out Is
that, a century before, Sir George verney,
in a letter to his son, has the following
passage: ITO roquite your news of your
fish l will tell as good tale from hence,
and as true. A merchant of London, that
writ to factor of his beyond the sea, de-
sired him by the next ship to send him or
apes. He forgot the r. in the 'or, and
then it was 203 apes. The factor sent him
fourscore and says he shall have the rest
by next ship, thinking he had written for

No Training of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach snake to do
anything whatever. Their brain power Is
SO limited that the marvel Is how they
have ever managed to survive in tho great
competition, especially when one finds that
they are still on the Ascending curve" Of
evolution. Most of them can be tanned to
some extent l.y constant human compan-
lonship and judicious handling (some spc-
cics very much more readily than others).
When they have learned to trust, to appre-
ciate the fact that there is no necessity for
self defense, then they may be trusted, u
principle which applies to most animals,
and there the scope and possibility of their
education comes to an end
After that the most that skillful ex-
hibitor can do with them is to adapt him
self and his actions to their movements,
which by familiarity he can pretty nearly
anticipate, so that these may appear pur
posive and intelligent. He may affect to
listen to the serpents counsels, or receive
Its kiss on his lips if its head incllncs in
un upward direction, or to lure itfrom ono
hand to the other, or to guide it to some
given spot, should it by chance glide hori-
zontally or downward, just as the Indian

THE DARK HORSE OF CHESS.
Harry Pillsbury, the Yankee Expert, and
His Wonderful Victory at Hastings.

His Wonderful Victory at Hastings.
When Harry N. Pillsbury sailed for the
other side not long ago to compete in the
great international chess tournament at
Hastings, England, no one versed in chess
matters imagined that he would do any
thing worth mentioning against the chess
masters Of the world, among them Steinitz,
Lasker, Tarrasch and Tschigorin. Pills
bury, however, was the dark horse of the
tournament. He won 1619 games, lost but
AZ and captured first prize. Tschigorin, tho
Russian champion, took second; Lasker,
champion of the world, third; Tarrasch,
Worlds Champion Steinitz fifth.
Pillsbury was born is Somerville, Mass,
and is boyish looking man, with beard
less face and slight figure. His career as
a chess player has not been of the brilliant
order, but rather one of constant advance
mcnt. Pillsbury is 90 years old and his
chess playing dates from his sixteenth
birthday, when he first learned the moves
Of the game at which he has now proved
himself to be the international champion.
Addison Smith, q leading member Of
the Boston Chess club, became interested
In the young man shortly after he began
to play, and Pillsbury was not slow to take
advantage of Smiths valuable experience.
He became an active member Of the Bos-
ton Chess club, and enjoyed reputation
among Boston enthusiasts as coming
player.
Pillsbury's first important success was
gained over Steinitz, who unsuccessfully
