1‘. Y. Herald Weather Forecasts.
Dangerous gales will probably advance
today off the Atlantic coasts uortesst-
ward from Cape Hatteras, in front of a
storm now movtng uortlieastwardly from
the Lake Region. The latter will be fol-
lowed by a large anticyclone (maximum
pressure 30.9t inches) and a severe “cold
wave" reaching this section tomorrow,
and likely to prove one of the most in-
tense of the season. Temperature rose
in the United States yesterday, except in
the Northwest; the chief minimum re-
iorted was 20 degrees below zero at
"lloorhead, Minn.; the chief maximum,
:0, at Jupiter, Fla. In this district to-
day, partly cloudy to cloudy weather
.will probably prevail, with slight ther-
._, mal changes and fresh to brisk variable
winds, becoming northeasterly, increas-
I' log in force on the coasts, followed by
‘ rain. In the Middle States and New
i. England, partly cloudy to cloudy, slight
1- 1y warmer weather and fresh to brisk
variable winds, mostly southerly, shift-
Illg tonortbeasterly off the Middle At-
Idntic coasts, followed by rain or snow,
Ind by a "cold wave" in this section and
northwesterly gales. On Saturday in
.his section and in New England consid.
‘erably colder, cloudy to partly cloudy
Iwather and brisk to high northwesterly
ywinds, with rain or snow, followed by
b ‘ .‘Iearing in this section; and on Sunday
\lder, fair weather, preceded by snow
‘in the New England coasts.

New York on Fifty-third street. Charlie
Thorne lived on the same street and I
had just returned home one aflern
from a visit to his house. I sat down,
picked up an accordeon and began to
play old scraps of airs, improvisations,
anything. A little one's head appeared
in the doorway and a little voice cried
'Peek-a-Bool' I answered ‘Peek-a-Bool‘
and repeated the words thoughtlessly,
fitting them to the notes that happened
to becoming from my accordeon. It
was the work of a few seconds to speak
the words that make the chorus of the
song. They came to me as fast as I
could utter them and the tune came
with them. I made the chorus and first

quired had reasonable prorata arrange-
ments been made. The question wheth-
er Prmldsnt Bostwick of the New Eng-
land road was not the largest stockowu-
er of the Housalouic elicited the ans.
war that Win. Rockefeller of the Stand-
ard Oil Company is tho largest stock-
holder of the Consolidated road and a
member of its Board of Directors. It
was admitted that he held 3,000 shares.
"That is more," said the Colonel, “than
all the other members of the Board own."
He also stated that since the Housatonic
had control of the Derby road there has
been an average reduction of 40 per cent.
on the cost of freight on that line. He
guaranteed a like reduction on thorugh
freight to New York if his road should
be granted authority to build its branch
lines 30 miles in length.

The Dollie-stir,- Monthly [oviduct], 1889.
The issue of quadruple supplements of
the newest Paris Costumes is the latest
feature of the popular Domestic Monthly.
They are rightly named for the ”Supple
ment" is the exhaustive presentation of
New York fashions, which has made The
Domestic the most reliable of any maga-
zine of fashion. The March number
contains over 100 illustrations of the
f resliest ideas in every department of the
costume; and the departments of “Knit-
ing and Crochet" and “Fancy Work”
are, asiianal. the-best that appear. In
fact, there is no other magazine which
has a separate department for Knitting
and Crochet with complete working de-
signs and patterns.

The literary and artisticzfeatures are
up to the careful standard which has
made The Domestic such adainty and
elegant journal. It is free from all cheap
sensationalism, and its stories and
sketches are by the most popular authors.
Its illustrated articles are always an at-
traction; and well edited departments of
various phases of the world’s work com-
plete what has'justly been called “the
cheapest good magazine published.’
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher conducts the
Household Department, which she has
made so pupular for years. All this is
sold for $1.50 a yrar, post-paid. Besides
every subscriber receives coupons good
for $1.00 worth of paper patterns free.

The Domestic Monthly is‘published at
853 Broadway. New York.
