The Board OF Health VIII Seek to Have One
Established
The board of health Yesterday decided
to recommend to the council that the or
dinance relating to burials and death GER
tificates be amended so as to compel I'M
dertakers to obtain permits for the trans.
portation of all bodies, whether in the
city or simply passing through.
The board decided to accept the invi-
tation to parade on July 4th.
The mayor brought up the matter
the communication of Nathan Strauss of
New York upon the subject of sterilized
milk to decrease infant mortality. The
circular from Mr.. Strauss was filed.
DR.. E. K. Smith thought that the city
should have public laboratory for the
preparation OF anti-toxine and for the
proper food inspections. 1t is thought
that the new Southern California Medical
college would maintain such a depart
ment were the city to make small APP
preparation for the purpose, and the col
lege bacteriologist to be the city bacteri-
ologist.
1t was moved by. DR.. Smith and adopted,
that the health officer be empowered to
confer with the proper authorities regard
ing the abatement OF Calvary cemetery as
q burying ground.
DR.. kurtz told the board that ex-School
Director Whaling is going about the city
purporting to have the endorsement Of
the board for certain preparation for
the preservation OF milk. The board had
never endorsed any preparation and
asked that Whalen's statement be pub
licly denied.
The meat and milk inspector was in
structed to make written monthly report
of his labors, to be hereafter publicly
fled
Tne ordinance relative to limiting he
location of horse coIrals was ordered en-
forced. The board then adjourned.

A Jealous Old Man Who Has a Peculiar
Mania
William Ludlow of Burbank was exam
ined for insanity yesterday before Judge
Shaw, and was committed to the county
hospital for treatment, pending the de-
velopment of his case for better or for
worse. The caution with which Drs. Mac
Gowan and Mathis examined the old fell
low was gravely ludicrous in view of the
events in department two the day before.
Ludlow was complained of by his step
son, b. Lister Ludlow; his jealousy of
his wife, the latter's mother, was most
alarming. The wife is an old lady. about
ten years older than her husband, and
he is laboring under the impression that
she is unfaithful to him with his stepson,
he himself not being in such favor. The
doctors seem to think that certain Chi
nese medicines used by Ludlow have
affected his health and have temporarily
unbalanced him.

summoned before the court, so his own
rhetoric not sufficng, although IN vol

expected to be present and when the
mighty orator will advocate his cause be-
fore the tribunal in all the pomp and

Metropolis is determined that the world
shall know that no descendant of the

A TIGERS TOE NAILS.

How the Keepers of rhessWashington Zoo
Trimmed Them.
The big, sleek, ill-mannered snarlins
royal Bengal tiger at the Zoo in Wash
ington, D. c., had his nails manicured
the other day, and this is the story of
how it was done, as told by the Wash
ington Star:
Not long ago he became violent, and
frequently gave vent to cries which
startled his neighbors. To the trained
ear of Keeper Blackburne the utter
ances, betokened pain, and he immedi-
ately set about to learn the cause. The
tiger was carefully watched, and it was
noticed that he displayed no great ac-
tiyity, but walked about as if the floor
of the cage was q muss of pin points.
Such was practically the trouble, for it
was q case of ingroWing toe nails, or
rather claws, Of both front paws. Mr..
Blackburne decided to relieve the dis
tress at once, and he appointed himself
chiropodist to his royal highness. The
patient, however, had a say in the mat
ter, and loudly and vigorously declined to
be manicured.
In order to accomplish his purpose
Mr.. Blackburne first had made an en-
tirely new set of iron bars for the front
of the cage. When this was strongly
bolted into position a rope with a moose
was introduced into the inclosure on the
hooked end of long pole. The moose
was pushed over the tigers head, and
as he attempted to step through it seven
sturdy men at the other end of the rope
drew it taut just behind the shoulders
of the animal, who was then dragged to
the front of the cage. This proceeding
lowered somewhat the dignity of Mr..
Tiger and he demonstrated in an indig
nant tone. The monkeys in the cage
across the room peered through the bars
with glistening eyes, a chronic, sleepy old
alligator some feet away was sufficiently
awakened by the strange doing to open
his left eye in a dreamy, inquiring man
ner, and a pair of leopards in a nearby
cage retired to the far corner thereof
and shivered with fear. In fact, every
lnhabitant of the main animal house was
wrought up by the most unusual occur
renee.
By dint Of stenuous efforts the paws
of the tiger were finally made to pro-
trude through the bars. To each paw
was attached stout rope, and these
were made fast to rings in the floor

it must pay him a thaler. Now, don't
believe that a princess ever married a
tailor. I haven't so much as & thaler
but here is groschen; and please say I

then Jacob came up and the brothers had
an interesting interview with the little
dame; but they could not persuade her
to take away the groschen which she had
laid on the table.

most Have Intelligence.
An incident related by the author of
''The Pearl of India in his description
of the flora of Ceylon, is almost uncanny,
although we are assured that it is true.
1t is about the mimosa, or sensitive plant,
and makes one almost wonder whether
the plant has intelligence.

about ten feet from the front Of the
cage. All the while the tiger made re-
peated attempts to free himself, with an
accompaniment of blood-curdling yells
and Kisses. Although the animal is a
member of the royal Bengal family on
this occasion he was not treated with
the consideration generally accorded
nobility.
The instruments of Keeper Black
burne were not silver mounted; he did
not make use of rosaline or enameline
but placed the paws on a block of wood
and with an ordinary cold chisel and
heavy mallet removed the offending
claws without INDUCING in frills or fur
bellows. The ingrowing claws were
found to be imbedded in the flesh fully
one inch. When removed the relief ex-
perienced by the animal was apparent.
He was released and then devoted him
self to licking the sore extremities, but
did not even reward his benefactor with
a look of gratitude. The leopards re
gained their composure, the alligator
closed his eyes, the monkeys started a
game of tag and once more all was Sc
