AFTER THE FIRa-BUGs.
$500 Reward offered for the Convic-
ton OF an Incandiary.


ton OF an Incendiary.
An effort was made some time during
Sunday night or yesterday morning to burn
the frame house of a colored family
named Backus, living on Second street,
between Barnard and Whitaker streets, but
the plot was discovered in time and the
building was saved.
The frequency Of fires of incendiary
origin has led to feeling of insecurity
which the arrest and conviction of the
guilty parties VIII greatly lessen.
Mayor SchwarZ was asked last night
what steps had been taken to ferret
out the inceldiares, and he said that
the city offers $3.50 for the conviction of
anyone who has set fire 10 any building, and
he says that he has added $3.50 to the re-
ward; so that any one who can and will
identify an incendiary will get $500.
a &c tleman connected with one of the
loan associations said yesterday that he
would will g,y be one Of ten men giving
500 to tr elk down the incendiaries. He
believes that there is "a systematic effort to
destroy property in the city, and he is will
ing TO pay his proportion to q fund to hunt
down the fire-bugs.
A etition will be presented to the CITY
council tomorrow night asking the APP
pointment of fire marshal, or an ofiic or,
whose duty it shall be to investigate ali
suspicious fires.

The careful and periodical inspection of
the bodies Of growing children, by the fam
lily physician as well as By the mother, would
be the first step to the prevention Of many
physical deformities, and the basis for intel
hgent care and physical training. Such an
inspection should be made in the case Of
growing children as often as twice yearly,
and any tendency to faulty poses, stopping,
one sided development, or other imperfec
ton, be noted The causes for such condi
ton should then be inquired iuto and re
moved, and Intelligent direction as to GER
tain sports, plays, or, with other children,
systematic exercises could take the place Of
haphazard method Once year such chill
dren should be carefully measured to ascer
tain their chest girth, arm aud leg develop
nent. their weight compared with height.
and other data. which would prove not only
of present interest, but the means of compar-
ing them with the standard of development,
and directing their home and school train
in- accordingly
The constant carrying of school books in
the right hand. or the weight OF heavy
school bag suspended over the right Shout
der. will tend to lower that side, pulling
down one shoulder aud leaving the other
apparently raised If these weights be un-
usually heavy the spinal column is some
times bent tribe to bring the center Of
gravity where it can sustain the burden
Prolonged piano practice in the case Of
children whose muscles are not strong may
result in such faulty positions on the part Of
the tired player as to leave a permanent i'm
press upon the figure. The wearing Of coats
or garments which are even but trife too
tight across the chest will prove to be q CON
slant though mild restraint to the develop
