There are four things a veteran
ballplayer fears—a high sky, a head
wind, a home umpire, and a spring
pitcher—and of these he hates the
pitcher worst of all.
There is a crop of them turned Into
big league pastures for tryouts each
year, about one in twenty-five makes
good, and the rest go back for more
schooling at the barrier before they
can make a second attempt.
They come with strong arms and
wondrous lack of control, and they
wound, malm, cripple and terrify good
batters for a few weeks until the hos-
pital list is full, and all the real ball-
players are suffering from wounds,
abrasions and bruises. Then the man-
agers realize that the youngsters
won’t do just yet, and send them back
to the minors.
More batters are hit by pitched
balls In the first month of the season
than In the other five combined, which
partially accounts for the fact that
good hitters seldom fatten their aver-
ages on bad pitchers in the spring.
They don’t like to have ribs fractured
or ‘‘blocks knocked off,” so they don't
stand up to the plate as they do later
In the season against pitchers they
know have some control of (he ball
and know where they are pitching.
The wildest spring pitcher that ever
broke into fast company was Wild Bill
Donovan, now a staid, steady old
pitcher for Detroit, when he broke In
at Washington. He came down from
some country town up In Pennsyl-
vania with a record of hitting seven
men in two innings and being arrested
for asault with intent to kill. He had
speed to burn, and sent the ball across
the plate—or In a general direction to-
ward the plate—looking like a pee
wee marble.
The first game he pitched for Wash-
ington he would have been able to
go Into the cigar business If he hud
received a cigar for every man he hit.
In Ills first five games not a hit was
made off hint. although he lost all his
games. He wounded batters as fast
as they faced him—or struck them
out, \
Joe Campbell alleged that the rea-
son Donovan wlas released was that
he hit Earl Wagner with a pitched
ball while Wagner was sitting In the
press stand on top of the grand stand.
Dut after a lapse Donovan came
b$6k. He had lost some of his speed,
but gained control, and he at once
took his place as a leading pitcher.
The spring that Eddy Doheny and
Cy Seymour, the lefthanded eccentrl-
ques, went South with New York re-
ports of injured ball players came
from all over Dixie. They were the
wildest pair that ever turned out. In
one game against Chicago Seymour
gave ll bases on balls, hit five men
and struck out 13 hatters; Doherty al-
most equaled his record, giving 13
bases, hitting three men and striking
out 10 in eight innings.
Pat Tebeau used to tell a story
about a spring pitcher he had at
Cleveland: "He trained In the spring
by standing oak boards against the
grand stand and splitting them with
the baseball. He told me he split all
the kindling at home that way—so as
to get control.
“We opened against Cincinnati, and
as all the veterans were out of shape
and he had the speed I sent him In to
start the season. He hit the first four
men, and put two of them out of the
game. Then I pulled him out of the
box. He afterward contended that hls
control was all right and be was sore.
‘Control good?’ I asked him In aston-
ishment. “Why. you hit four men In
succession.’ ‘I know it.' he said, ‘I
was aiming at them, and the Idiots
didn’t have sense enough to get out of
the way.'”
Chicago turned un a spring pitcher
who was a marvel for wildness In Doc
Rice, who droped out of the business
afterward. Doc had speed, he had
curves, he had everything, but no
amount of training could teach him
where the plate was. He was likely to
put three over as straight as a die,
and then let the next four or five men
walk, and he kept batters hopping all
around to escape being punctured.
Anson finally let him go. Rice was
pitching, and the grounds were wet on
the day that he "got through.” He
couldn't handle the greasy, slippery
ball to any advantage, so Anson be-
tween Innings told him to watch his
chance when the ball got slippery, pre-
tend to let it Blip out of his hands,
and throw It out of the field so as to
get a dry ball. Rice obeyed Instruc-
tions. He let the ball slip, threw It
over the grand stand, and got a dry
ball, but the trouble was he did It with
men on second and third.—Chicago
Tribune.
Where ChrUtloottr Betti.
The hills of Bethlehem arc full of
caves, natural and artificial, and
many of them have historic signifi-
cance. There is the milk grotto, in
which Joseph aud Mary are said to
have concealed themaelvea before their
flight Into Egypt to escape the evil de-
slgus of Herod. The snowy whiteness
of the soft chalk out of which it Is
hewn Is ascribed to the spilling of a
few drops of the Virgin's milk when she
nursed the infant Jesus. Another grot-
to is pointed out ns that In wtaidf 8t.
Jerome for more than thirty years led
the life of a hermit when bitter fac-
tional dissensions had forced him to
leave Rome. On a western bill a rock
strewn plnienu, around which stately
terebinths stand guards marks a place
where the ancient Hebrews brought
their sacrifices unto the Lord. It Is a
solemn place, well fitted to excite de-
vout thoughts—a place where a man
might well keep communion with his
Maker. In its broader features Bethle-
hem is Almost unchanged since the days
of David.—Four Track News.
Vegetable Rennets.
Those who would like to make cheese
on a very small scale are often trou-
bled to get proper rennet to produce
coagulation of the milk. A scientist
says that If the leaves of the common
butterwort are placed in a strainer and
the milk fresh from the cow is poured
over it the milk will soon become thick
and has amost delicious flavor. The
yellow^-btHlstraw also possesses the
properties of curdling milk, and the
natives of Cheshire prefer it as a ren-
net to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers are put in the strainer, and the
milk Is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads of the garden artichoke
also posscis the property of coagulat-
ing milk. In view of the carelessness
sometimes noted tn people who prepare
rennet in the ordinary fashion this
vegetable rennet is worthy of atten-
tion. The leaves, properly cleaned and
prepared, would be very much safer
and more hygienic than animal sub-
stances which may go through chem-
ical changes that unfit them for food.
Old Stitt a ea. ,
Herodotus makes Solon tell Croesus
of several men happier than he. Two
brothers, Cleobls and Biton of Argos,
he said, when oxen were lacking to
draw their mother, the priestess of
Hera, to the temple several miles dis-
tant, harnessed themselves to the cart.
When the mother, proud of her sons
and moved by the plaudits of the
crowd, had prayed to Hera that her
sons might receive the best gifts the
gods had to bestow, they lay down In
the shade of the temple and never
waked. Herodotus says that their
statues were seat to Delphi. Homolle
found at Delphi two statues practically
identical, of finest archaic work, made
early In the sixth century B. C. Since
one of them bore the signature of an
Arglve sculptor, I’olymedes, in archaic
letters, we may believe that the story
-of .Herodotus is based on fact and that
we have before us today the Identical
statues.—Obautauquan.
Two That Form Islaada.
In the course of great rivers, islands
are generally formed by the stranding
of trees, shrubs, plants and such things
brought down by the current. In the
Mackenzie river of Canada the whole
I*ocess of Island making in this way can
lie easily observed. Trees borne down
from the banks by the undermining ac-
tion of the current usually retain con-
siderable mass of earth and stones en-
tangled In their roots. They, therefore,
readily sink, and by doing so form con-
siderable shoals, which time converts
Into regular vegetable Islands. Then a
thicket of stuull willows covers the
newly formed land and their fibrous
roots serve to bind the whole firmly to-
gether. A peaty soil is formed by (he
gradual decay of the.vegetntion,.includ-
ing the trunks of the trees, and on this
many new varieties of plants spring
up. Sometimes the Island clears its
moorings and floats away down stream
until it is again arrested by an obsta-
cle, or it may become in a sense water-
logged and subside close to the bottom.
In this latter ease It often gets covered
over with mud and sand, which form
a new and more permanent land sur-
face a'.we It.
The I.obater’a Birth Xante.
"Did you ever see the name a lob-
4er Is born with?” asked a fish dealer
flhe other day. "It Is marked on hls
body. No? Well, I’ll show you one.”
The denier took a live lobster out of
a Iteap on the marble slab.
"Its name is Joe," the dealer said
after he bad inspected one of its legs.
“Now, can you find it?”
The customer took the lobster gin-
gerly by the back of the neck where
it could not reach bis hand wit jits nip-
pers. Turning it on Its back so that
the brown legs at its side flopped back-
ward. a smooth streak half an Inch
long and nearly as wide was seen on
the Inside of the thigh. In this streak,
like n mosaic, were short lines, as
though some one had printed on It with
Indelible brown ink In backhand the
characters J-O-K.
"Some lobsters are named Jim,” the
dealer said, “some Jack, others John,
and I once clearly made out the name
Julia.’’
Hot Pipe Bite* the Tongue.
"You see smoking tobacco advertised
every now null again guaranteed not
to bite the tongue. Dealers sell It, of
course, hut Inwardly they smile at the
Idea.” So spoke a tobacconist. "You
see. It's this way. The'fire in the pipe
will bite the tongue If the tobacco
burns too fast-namely, If It Is a very
loose long cut tobacco or a very short
dry cut and not packed closely enough
In the bowl. There is a point where
tobacco may be too closely packed to
draw and a point where it may be so
loosely packed that It burns fast, and
minute sparks pass through the stem
and rerch the smoker's mouth. These
are the causes of burnt tongues.”—
Pittsburg Dispatch.
A Stap and o Lodger.
Stories of deer with rain barrels or
water palls on their heads are common
enough among Maine and Adirondack
guides, but It is left for Europe to come
to the fore with a variant. Some hunts-
men near Innsbruck came upon a stag
with a ladder on Its antlers. In spite
of this handicap It made off at great
speed on seeing the man, leaping
bed gw and dashing through the under-
growth as If quite unimpeded. Its mad
career was stopped, however, when (he
ends of the ladder caught between two
trees. Its struggles were so frantic at
the approach of the huntsman’s dog
that It broke off part of Its autlers and,
thus freed, made good Its escape. The
ladder proved to belong to a farmer
who had left it standing against one of
his haystacks. While stealing the hay
the stag had evidently upset the lad-
der, which had thus become fixed on
Its horns.
A Word With o Slronge lilatorr.
"Treacle,” or molasses, is a word
with au interesting history. The earli-
est “treacle” was an antidote against
the viper’s bite and probably was made
of viper’s flesh Itself. It Is a word
with a strange history, descending
from the Greek "ther,” a wild beast,
whence came the adjective “theriakos,”
pertaining to a wild beast, which was
eventually specialized to mean serv-
ing as an antidote against a wild
beast's Lite. In English "treacle" then
came to mean anything soothing or
comforting. Chaucer even speaks of
Christ as "treacle of nil harm.” And,
as so many soothing remedies were
sirups, ‘ treacle” at lenglh meant sim-
ply slru|w of various kinds.

“ivloit Physics are Dangerous.” A good
doctor is particular about the medicine* he
prescribes, and, therefore, he never allows his
patient to take any physic th/.i makes him
weak. A physic that leaves one weak does
great harm ,*) the muscles lying along the
walls of the .lomach, bowels and intestines.
Such a physic so shocks tl* muscles that they
cannot soon reco, er theV strength and there-
fore a case of con.'ipat/on is developed. The
bowels must be cleansed again before thfc
muscles have regain a! sufficient strength to do
so voluntarily, a^ ».» another and stronger
dose of the phys'c mus. be taken. This forms
what is known as the “'hysic Habit.”
Dr.Caldwells frirun Pepsin
is a safe physic because it so strengthens the
bowel musflcs that they cat. perforin their
functions without any further aid. This great
remedy has unequalcd tonic properties which
gives great strength to all parts of the stomach, _____
bowels and intestines. A dose will give an excellent bowel movement and so
refresh snd give strength to the patient that he will soon be able to get along
without any medicine whatever.
