Anderson. Thay Still S.rv.d tha Old Slugger After Ha Quit Baseball. One of the oldest and most eccentric characters baseball has ever produced was old Pete Browning, the famous slugger, who played with Louisville iiround the eighties and later joined i lie Cleveland club In 1SU0 during the Brotherhood war. Tete was a little off In his roof gar- ion and bnd only one Idea in his bead tay or night. Anything that concern- id bis precious batting average was tuent and drink to him. It made no difference bow many fly balls be drop ped or let get by him as long as no landed two or three safe ones during a game. Bats were a mania with Browning. and whenever be could pick up a club which suited him It was added to bis enormous collection. So many were gathered at various points on some of bis trips that be sometimes was forced to pay excess baggage on the prizes. According to Van Baltren. It was Browning who Introduced the habit of rubbing down a bat with tobacco Juice. which custom Is followed to this day by many of the players. The Idea Is to roughen the surface of the stick and prevent so many fouls slipping off one side or the other. Browning, who was a great user of the weed, nsed to polish down his sticks In this way without any appar ent reason until he commenced to be lieve that It made a difference with bis hitting, and after that no wagon tongue of bis ever escaped a coating of the ob noxious fluid. Other players took It up In the hope of emulating Browning, and now It is a common custom throughout the coun try. When Pete retired from the game ail the bats, relics of former days, were still in his possession. In order to keep them always in his sight Pete had them turned down to a uniform size and used them as posts for the baluster in his house. To the day of his death they remain ed the most valued of his possessions. New York World. ENGLISHMEN'S GAMES. Quaint Hindu View of the Beating and Kicking of Balls. Some amusing descriptions of East Indian life are given In Mrs. Penny's book, "The Rajah." Here is a Hindu servant's opinion of the English de votion to ball games, given to four ranis princesses whom he was -trying to enlighten: "The English," he said, "all play ball. Some beat balls with iron shod sticks, standing In the fields and striking with sufficient force to break a man's skull; some beat the ball with a long bit of wood In front of three sticks that rep resent their gods, some with corded spoons over a net wall, some with long handled hammers as they sit on horses; some kick the ball with their feet. The balls are of all sizes from a small orange to a man's bead." "By whose orders do they kick and beat balls?" be was asked. "By order of their pujarls," the syce replied, "and he must know, because he serves the writing sahib." "Why should such an order be giv en?" asked the second rani. "They are a fierce and warlike peo ple, those English, who must be al ways fighting and beating some one. It is by this means only that they are prevented from killing each other." "But the Mlssle Sahib would she, too, beat and fight?" "She is strong. Who knows? At Bombay and Calcutta the English la dies beat balls over the wall of net. They do It that they may bear chil dren fierce and strong like their fa thers. When the babies are but a few months old they give them balls to beat with their little hands and to creep after as soon as they can move by themselves." A Queer Monument. A monument erected in the Stra- glieno cemetery has a very curious history. It is that of an old woman of Genoa, who made a living by selling strings of nuts in the streets. By frugality and Industry she succeeded in amassing a small fortune In this way and then commissioned a well known sculptor of Genoa. Lulgi Oren go, to make a life sized portrait of her In marble just ns she appeared at her pitch In the streets. This statue she ordered to be placed in the famous Ftraglleno cemetery, probably the lar gest In the world. Wide World Maga fine. Sweet and Hard, The Royal band was playing for the king, Louis XIV.. the "Miserere of Lul !y." The king was on his knees and so was the whole court His majesty kept the awkward attitude until the end of the hymn. After rising, the king turned to the Count de Gram mont and asked how he found the mo lie. "Very sweet to the ear, sire, but Tery hard on the kueea." Doge Know. "I don't know why it Is that when ever I pass, a place where a dog Is kept the animal rushes out and barks at me as if I bad no right to be on earth. Others can pass the same place and never be molested." "Well. I can account for It only on the theory that ifa mighty bard to fool a dog." Chicago Record-Herald.
