BOARD OF HEALTH.
Prsliminary Steps Fay Be Taken lo
 Abate Nuisances.

The b0ardsOf health is scheduled to meet at o'clock this afternoon While there is nothing unusual on hand. it is quite likely that the preliminary steps will be taken toward abating uuis. ances which may good citizens have been complaining of for some time past. One is the presence of stables so close to private residences that the stamping of the horses prevents peo pie from sleeping and as q result they claim that if relief does not come soon they will have to move out. Trouhle from this source on Dover and Liberty streets has reached q stage where the health officer has been called in but whether he will be able to do anything III the premises or not is somethin. Which wi. not be known until later fhen tnela gre owners of chickens W.lO build GOODS beside the sleeping apartments Of tnair nsighbQrs aIl the growing Of rOosters renders rest out of the question from the first peep of dawn. Others keep an army of cur dogs that whine and bark the whole night long to the great confusion of people who want to sleep when they retire for the night. There can be no doubt but that such things are posi- tive nuisance. but the question is, has the board of health authority to abate them? What would be termed q nuisance by some folks others would not mind it at all, and there you are, But it is safe to predict that it would be hard to find a human being who could get good nights sleep while a horse was amusing himself hy tapping the side of his stall with his hoOfs in Il barn short distance away. and probably it would be even harder to close an eye with rooster Screeching within q few feet of your bed. or q pack of dogs yclping on the veranda To some these may look like tritling matters, but there must he something back of the complaints else they would not keep coming in. These noises raise the mischief in homes where people are sick. and while it may be difficult to put a stop to the business altogether ir does seem that some measure of re- lief could be reached in the interest of human beings who are ill and need perfect quiet in order to get on theit feet again. The report of the health officer for the present month shows fifteen deaths from consumption so that while we heard a great deal about the battle of science against tuberculosis, the malady appears to be holding it's own.

FATHER IN LOOKUP.
Mans Theft of Chunk of Beef Leads
 to Discovery of Sad Case.

New Haven, Jan 30-Frank Curtin's theft of five-pound chunk of meat from the Schoenberger meat market about s o'clock Saturday evening was the means of bringing to the notice of the police one of the worst cases of poverty and depravity in years in the Howard avenue precinct Curtin ran to the door of the store with his prize and threw it to young man outside before he was caught.

 On the bed was the child and a mOn- grel dog who stood watch so well that no one was able to get near the little one. Even the Brazilian gypsics who live across the corridor in the same house were unable to get near the child to give it food or to keep it waEM,r., 70, anoas?.
 Mrs Curtin returned at o'clock yes terday morning. Officers Cook, Dooley and Molly had taken turns in watching for her. The latter gave her lecture with the $2 and she was left to take care of her child and the faithful mon vro1

Some Animal Facts

Never was beast so surround
ed with fallaciouh mystery as
the tiger.
Other popular misconceptions
give the tiger extraordinary
leaping ability. 1t does not, as
habitually painted, leap upon
the back of it's victim to crunch
the vertebrae of its neck. 1t may
do so occasionally on small
game.
l have seen panthers springing
on the little barking deer, but
the usual tiger method is a
stealthy stalk, followed by a
swift rush and seizure of the
victims throat.
1t does not leap from twenty
five to one hundred feet, as we
frequently read. Twelve feet
is nearer the average of it's
jumps when chasing game, and
there is no record of it's jump
ing streams of over sixteen or
eighteen feet in width. 1t is a
bold swimmer and a frequent
wader.
1t does not give up pursuit of
its quarry on failure of the first
attack.
1t does not deliver bone crush,
ing blows with its fore paws,
like bruin, although it does give
blows that lacerate the flesh.
1t does not roar like a lion.
1t does not kill blood letting,
but by dislocating the neck.
1t can climb a tree, but rarely
does so.
There is also much eXaggera-
ton concerning size and weight.
4 tiger that measures ten feet
from the tip of its nose to the
end of its tail is a big one, and
above the average, which is
about nine and one half feet.
