Shutting Out the Sun in New York.
New York Post.

= The bill limiting the height of buildings,
which recently passed the Senate, is one in
which al residents of New York are inter-
ested. and whose passage the city repre-
sentatives ought to secure To say moth
ing about danger from fire, the necessity of
sun light is being more and more recognized
by sanitary reformers and physicians. A
block of buildings 125 feet high means a
series of cold, gloomy, unhealthy wells
instead of the light and airy courts that
ought to be provided.

Origin of the Bagpipe.
Boston Journal.

The popular belief which assigns the
origin of the bagpipe to Scotland is mis-
take. Long before it sounded the war
note Of Lochiel" it had been heard in
various countries in Europe, especially in
Rome, where it was held so much in es-
TEEN that Nero gave it place on the coin
of the empire. The famous instrument
has always been popular in Scotland. The
magistrates in Aberdeen in 1880 forbade
its being played in the streets of that city.

Oriental Fire WoTshepers.

There are not many Parsees now. the
largest Parsee community being at Bonn
bay, where reside 10000 worshipers of the
sacred fire. They hold there much the
same position as the Jews do in London.
They are respected for their integrity,
their thrift, their care for their own poor,
and the generosity of their wealthier mem
bers toward obj ects of public interest.

MOTHERS WORK.

Baking -stewing and brewing,
Roasting, frying and boiling,
Sweeping, busting and cleaning,
Washing, starching and irning,
Ripping turning and meRding,
Cutting basting and stitching,
Making the old like new
Shoe-strings to lace,
Faces to wash,
Buttons to sew,
And the like of such;
Stockings to darn
While the children play.
Stories to tell,
Tears wipe away,
Making them happy
The liveong day
il ever thus from morn tall night
Who says that a mothers work is light
PART II.
At evening, four
Little forms in white
PRAYERS all said,
And the last good night,
Tucking them safe
In each downy bed,
Silently asking,
Ger each head,
That the dear Father
In heaven will keep
Safe all his darlings,
Awake or asleep.
Then think the old adage true ever will prove,
"lt i easy to labor for those we love"
PART III.
All me dear me! | often say
A. hang the tumbled clothes away,
And the tear drops start,
While my burdened heart
Aches for the mother across the way,
Where oh where are
Her nestlings flown
AL all are gone,
Save one alone!
Folded their garments
With tenderest care,
Impressed the pillow
And vacant the chair;
No ribbons to tie,
No faces to wash,
No hair all awry;
No merry voices
TO hush into rest;
God save them,
He took them
And he know eth best:
But ah the heart anguish the tears that fall!
This mothers work is the hardest of all!

Korner's Crime.

On Saturday morning, Dec. %, 1888, most
brutal murder was committed south of the city
the victim being the wife of Andrew Korner, a
dairyman. The murdered woman had evident
ly been killed by some blunt weapon the skull
and jaw being crushed. The discovery of the
crime was made shortly before daylight, and the
husband of the murdered woman arrested on
suspicion. The promiscuity of assertions, his
improbable and contradictory statements and
the circumstances of the murder caused the
officers to take him into custody. The reputa-
ton of Korner was bad. He was known as a
man of brutal nature, savage disposition and
cringing bearing. The neigh borhood in which he
lived had long anticipated bloody sequel
to the treatment Of his wife, and
the crime was not a surprise. Korner and his
wife came from Germany, and had three chill
dren. Although earning good living from his
business, their home had a poverty stricken ap-
pearance, being cramped in three small rooms
The wife had endured the most savage treatment
from the hands of Korner being beaten and as
saulted frequently. Apropos of the circum-
stances of the crime, Henry Wamp, an assistant,
on the night of the murder slept in the house,
and was awakened at 2 o'clock by a
noise. At 3 o'clock Wamp was
called by Korner and fifteen or twenty
minutes later was informed by his employer that
my wife has been murdered"
Korner made partial confession after his ar
rest to Superintendent Lange. He waived d
preliminary examination and went to the grand
jury, who returned an Indictment for murder in
the first degree at the January term. His trial
was commenced last Monday, Prosecutor Brown
and Deputy Robbins appearing for the State,
and Judge Claypool and B. F. Watts for the de
PENDANT. The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial but of a convincing nature. No especial
defense was made further than general denial
and an effort to break down the States case.
