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.

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

In marble just ns she appeared at her

The Royal band was playing for the
king, Louis XIV.. the "Miserere of Lul
