SUPPLY OF TURKEYS
FOWLS IN PLENTY FOR CHRIST.
MAS TRADE.

wholesale prices for( turkeys and
other fowls for the Christmas market
will be slightly lower than they were
about Thanksgiving, and this should
mean lower prices for the Christmas
turkey from the retailer to the Wash
ingtoIi family man for his Christmas
dinner
! The foregoing was the way one Of the
largest dealers in poultry, both live and
dressed, last night summed up the mar
ket situation for reporter for the Star.
The top of the market for prime turkeys
yesterday was Is cents, and excellent
ones could be bought as low as IA cents
wholesale. Dressed hens sold at II and
II cents per pound, chickens at IL to Il
cents per pound. and ducks at II to Ia
cents. The supply of turkeys and other
fowls is large and there is absolutely no
indication of any shortage in the supply
in the next two or three days. With
these conditions 1t is safe to say that a
good turkey for dinner Christmas day
should ne bought at retail at 70 cents or
a little lower per pound and other fowls
in like proportion over the wholesale
market.
A large supply of oysters in the shell
from the Potomac beds and from those
in Chesapeake bay is on sale at the
wholesale market on the 11th street
wharf large fleet of vessels have the
bivalves aboard, and are lying at the
wharf, waiting to dispose of the oysters.
The dealers at the wharf believe that
the oyster. market next week will be
lower than it has been about Christmas
time for several years past.
Prices for Oysters.
BivaIves were selling yesterday at prices
ranging from 40 cents to 81 per bushel,
AMI there were more of the lower-priced
oysters on sale than of the higher. The
accent oysters were small in size. but
are Of excellent flavor and will do ad-
mirably for dressing for the Christmas
turkey, or to be served fried or stewed.
The receipts of fresh fish at the mar
ket are not heavy. but prices are not high.
as the demand has been light. Perch.
bass, rock whiting ling carp. catfish and
other varieties are on sale. and the deal
ers expect to have an ample supply on
hand to meet the demand next week
Wild ducks and geese are being re-
ceived by the dealers at the wharf In
small quantities from the gunners on
the Carolina sounds. Yesterday morn
ing nearly all varieties of the water fowl
were on sale at prices ranging from "a

Two Paths in Life.

Just in front of every young man

partment are two paths leading into
the future and it is for them to select
which path they will journey in. To
aid them in selecting, some of whom
in early life selected one path and
others the opposite. The neighbor

The Peace of Poverty.

Poor people never live in brown
stone fronts or elegant villa residences
with all the modern improvements.
Consequently in the dead of winter,
their furnace CRATES neve break down
their fiat roofs never leak, their water
pipes never burst. Their plate glass
windows are never broken, their dumb
walters never give out, their patent
burglar alarms never 60 off at the
wrong time. Their coachmen never
get drunk, no careless servants break
their Serves china.
In fact, one of the chief pleasures
of poverty is exemption from atfilc-
tiOn of servants. No domestic range
around the humble dwellings of the
poor. When the daughters of poverty
exchange calls, their conversation may
dwell upon ~pleaSanter themes than
the trials they have undergone with
the cook, the minutial of the cham

fashionable yet to speak of desalcat-

doubtless yet reach even that point OF

mites of what has been dubbed ser
vandalism, L disturb not the peace of
poverty.

A Good Vile.

We recently received a letter from
an old friend, in the sunset OF life,
conveying to us the sad news Of the
death of his wife. Among other beau
tiful things he says, my domestic
enjoyments have been perhaps as near
perfection as the human condition
permits. She made my home the
pleasantest spot to me on earth, and
now that she is gone, my worldly loss
is perfect" How many poor fellows
would be saved from the p~enitentiary
and the gallows and from suicide ev-
cry year, had they been blessed with
such a wife. "She made my home
the pleasanteSt spot on earth" What
a grand tribute to that woman'S love.
and piety and common sense. How
different the testimony Of an old
man recently hung for numbering his
wife whose last words before dropping
into eternity were: II did not intend
to kill my wife, but she was a very
aggravating woman" Let each wife
who reads this ask herself, (which

How to Begin Married Life.

In the first solitary hour after
the ceremony, take the bride
groom and demand a solemn VOW
of him and give him a vow in re-
turn. Promise each other sacred
ly, never, not even in Jest, to
wrangle with each other. Never
to handy words or indulge in the
least ill-humor. Never, we say,
never! Wrangling in jest, putting
on an air of ,ill-humor merely to
tese, becomes earnest by practice.
Mark that. Next, promise each
other sincerely and solemnly,
never to keep a secret from each
other, under whatever pretext or
whatever excuse it may be.
You must continually and every
moment see clearly into each 9TH
er's bosom. Even when one of
you have committed a fault, with
in an instant, go confess it..
And as you keep nothing from
each, so, on the contrary, preserve
the privacies of your home mar
riage state and heart from father,
mother, sister, brother, aunt and
all the world. You two, with
Gods help, build your own quiet
world. Every third or fourth
n you draw into it with you,will
form a party and stand between
you two. That should never be-.
Promise this to each other. Re-
member the vow at each tempta-
ton. Your souls will grow, as it
were to each other, and at last be-
come as one. All, if many a pair
had. on their marriage day. known
this secret, how many a marriage
were happier than, alas, they re-
ally are.

A Word to Girls.

The woman who is Indifferent to
her looks is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to
look we'll, to please, and it is one of
her duties to carry out this intention
OF her Maker. But that dress is to
do it all and to suffice is more than we
can be brought to believe. Just be-
cause we do love to see girls look we'll,
as we'll as to live to some purpose, we
we would urge upon them such a
courseof reading and study as will
confer such charms as no modiste can
supply. N. p. Willis wrote a very
pretty paragraph or the power of ed
ucation to beautify. That it abSo-
lutely chiseled the figures; that he
had e e many a clumsy nose and a
thick pair Of lips SO modified by
thought, awakened and active senti-
ment so as to be unacceptable. And
he put 1t on that ground that we Of
ten see people, homely and unattract-
i've in youth, bloom in middle life in
to a Softened Indian Summer of good
looks and mellow tones.

There are other ministers of love
more conspicuous than she, but none
In which a gentler, lOvlier spirit
dwells and none to which the hearts
warm requitals more joyfuily respond.
She is the steady light OF her fathers
house. Her ideal is indisSolubly con-
nected with that Of his Preside. She
is his morning sunlight and evening
star. The grace, vivacity and tender
ness OF her Sex have their place in the
mighty sway which she holds over his
spirit. She is the pride and orna-
ment of his hospitality, and the gen.
tie nurse of his sickness.

The Possible Common Loss.

Men, in their inmOSt souls, feel
more than woman can, the change
which must come Over the world when
the publicity they know and feel in
their own lot come to turn the whole
race out of doors They themselves
live 10Y in the reverence, admiration
and love which they feel for the deli
cate, the domestic, the private nature
of women. They see the homes where
alone their public cares are soOthed
and made tOlerable turned into dis
privacied parts of hotel life. They
feel the romance, the poetry, the SEN
timent of life OOZing out Under the
blows aimed at the chief hoop that
binds the slaves of society together,
and they know that women without
their consent is able to diScrOWn her.
self queen Of her own home, in order
to uSurpa barren scepter in the king
dom of public life. 1t is idle to warn,
to propheSy, to complain. The fruits
Of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil are fair to the wOman'S eyes as of
old: and the tempter is nc less OF a
serpent but though we shall still go
doubtless hand in hand with the mo-
dern Eve when she expelS herself
from the garden of Gods W plant
ing, we know better than she the
charm of Paradise which we shall lose
together, and the GOODNESS and empti-
ness of all that lies outside. 1t is on
ly some divine interpositiOn which
can divert the mad determination that
does not mind running man in rashly
protesting against the fat that made
humanity male and female.

There is no question that habitual
cheerfulnesS is a great blessing, but
when cheerful people are landed, let
it be remembered, as a general thing,
they are no more to be commended for
it than a person with a pair of beauti-
full eyes. CheerfulneSS is a matter of
health and constitution. An invalid or
a nervous persona very sensitive
person, easily affected by atmospheric
and other influences cannot be uni
formly cheerful. He may do much
toward eudeavoring to be so, it is true,
but it must be Il thing of effort. Many
people are cheerful because they are
apathetic. The sorrows of others, not
being our own, are easy to bear. We
do not wish to decry this social sun
shine; but let US not forget that there
are very few flowers that flourish and
give us perfume in the shade and at
intervals.
