SCIENTIFIC PATERNALIsM.
Paddists Overstepping the Mark

Paddists Overstepping the Mark fin
 Improving Farmyard Inhabitants. Cleveland Leader.
 Up to a certain point, the guard ianship of science in the personal af- fairs of man Is a matter of thankful ness on his part. He Is glad to know that the investigations of the learned are being turned to practical account for his pleasure, his welfare. and hts health. He goes about his daily work with the warm feeling around his heart that men of brains are wearing them out in his interests.
 Still, it may be that this scientific parternalism can be carried too far; that 1t may grow tyrannical, in time, by its increasing tax on our sensibil- ities, and that. by pointing out the myraids of dangers which turk around us, hidden and unsuspected science may be the wicked nursery maid rais- ing up bogeys to frighten the children of men.
 Who, for instance, would think that the gentle moo-cow needed a tooth- brush and dentifrice, not for her own health. but as a preservtive of ours? Yet W. Kelsey Schoepf, a millionaire stock owner. near Philadelphia, who makes a speciality of blooded cows. has now ordered that their teeth shall be brushed daily. Science has egged him on to such 8 revolutionary step and 1t is only fair to say that the COW, cooperating with the savant, has proved materially appreciative of such treatment. The Schoepf brand of COW ! has given two gallons of the purest milk imaginable. owing to these acts of minor dentistry.
 Milk is high enough now. heaven knows, and the fact that they may have to buy toothbrushes. extra large and extremely tight bristled. may give the milkmen an excuse for further raise in the price. And those who cannot buy this toothbrushed milk, should 1t be toothbrushed. will shud- der in the dread that the ordinary nondental milk in insanitary. And what about manicuring hens so that they shall lay finer grade of eggs in greater profusion, or insist ing that oysters shall be grown in sterilized water t0 avoid the danger of typhoid?
 Then, too. when science has started in dictating in the matter of hygiene, why is 1t not equally logical that the esthetic side of life may insist upon its domination and demand. in the name of Giotto. Michael Angelo, and Schreyer. that all horses be put in corsets to give them more artistic outlines? So 1t will be better to take determined stand. 1t seems to us at bovine toothbrushes, for if the matter is left unchecked no one can forsee to what length the movement may go.

sAWTELLE, Oct. 9.-The latest So

here at an estimated cost of $12,5OO
AS membership in the homes is rapid

why at this late day such an improve

many of them say that if the money
uselessly spent at the home were adj

out among their relatives and friends
and pass the remainder of their days
much more satisfactorily than they
do here.
About thirty acres of land belong

MONSTER OF DEEP
CAUGHT FROM PIER
SHARK WEIGHING $50 POUNDS
LANDED AT OCEAN PARK
Big Fish Was snagged with Barracuda
Hook Attached to Line by
Piece of Mo. 20
Wire
Especial to The Herald,l

OCEAN PARK, Oct 9.-What is
claimed to be the largest shark caught
in these waters for several years was
hauled in by II. j. Spencer with the
assistance of several men after ter
rife battle this afternoon. The weight
of the big fish was estimated at be-
tween $50 and 400 pounds. 1t was ex-
actely feet inches in length from tip
to tip.
Spencer, who has been a law book
book publisher at Los Angeles, operates
a small battery at the end of the
Marine avenue pier. For some time he
has had an ordinary yellowtail line,
baited with herring, in the water near
his shop. Today he put live herring on
his line, which is only about an eighth
of an inch thick and threw it back
into the water. He paid no further at
noon, when Mr.. Loop, a local real
estate man, told him that the line was
moving around quite friskily
William Thoms, an emplaye OF
Spencer, pulled on the line, and when
the big catch, which proved to be an
oil shark, came to the surface Thomas
could hardly believe his eyes. The
hook, a small one of the variety used
to catch barracuda, attached to the
line by a piece of No. 20 wire, was
found imbedded firmly in the monster.
After a half hours struggle the fish
gave up and allowed itself to be drawn
near enough to the pier for Loop to
seize it securely with gaff. 1t re-
quired the strength of ten men to hoist
the shark on the pier, a distance of
about twenty-five feet.

WANT PAVING WORK
ACCEPTED BY CITY
THIRD STREET RESIDENTS ARE
READY TO FIGHT
Mayor and Council Opposed to Assum=
ing Responsibility for Future
Repairs-Matter May
Get to Courts
Especial 10 The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 9.-In an
effort to secure the acceptance Of the
recent improvement work on Third
street by the city council in ordinance
form the property owners of that thor
oughfare are circulating a petition and
an effort will be made to force the
city council to take the action desired.
Mayor S. w. McNabb and the council
stand firm against accepting the work
in that in future years the city will
be forced constantly to maintain the
pavement and all new work will have
to be done from the funds of the city,
in that the Vrooman act could no long
er be brought into play. The property
owners are equally as firm that the
city should accept the improvements
and maintain them in years to come
and should the officials accept Third
street it would be necessary, likewise,
to accept the remainder of the miles of
paving now in the course OF constitute
tion.
The mayor is unwilling to allow the
burden to be placed on the city, which,
in years to come will drain the street
improvement fund maintaining the
paving. The Third street property
owners have consulted attorneys in re-
gard to the matter and 1t is stated
they will force the issue.
