SCARCITY OF SEA FOOD.
Supply at 18th Street Wharf Prac
ticallY Exhausted Yesterday.

1t is very seldom that the 18th street
wharf market is as well cleared of
sea food of all kinds as it was yester-
day afternoon, practically every fish,
clam, crab and oyster having been sold
by the wharf dealers. Receipts of sea
food of all kinds was very light yes
terday morning. and the demand was
exceptionally brisk, higher prices being
paid for fresh fish of all kinds than
have been paid since the middle OF
winter.
The shortage in fish made those who
wanted sea food turn to clans, crabs
and oysters, and the supply of these
commodities was quickly exhausted.
Yesterday afternoon but one wholesale
dealer at the wharf had oysters on sale,
and his supply was limited to gallon
or so. It is stated that more oysters
were sold yesterday than have been sold
this early in September in the history
of the local fish wharf.

Beauty

Much bunk is sprung concern
ing beauty, as something that
won't keep; and writers alecky,
galooty, insist it's but skin deep.
Far better have a conscience ten
der. that balks at sin and lies, than
all the glamour and the splendor OF
shining hair and eyes. Far better
have love 'oi duty, a heart with
virtue warm. than win ribbon
blue for beauty, or have queenly
form" Why not have both, good
looks and virtue. clean teeth and
sterling worth? The combination
will not hurt you, or raise I'M
seemly mirth. It's good to send
the heather shekels, but that's no
reason why you ought to wear a
lot of freckles, or have squirting
eye. It's good to help our neigh
bors, always, but seek the barber,
too; the saint who doesn't trim his
galways obstructs the fairest view.
Good women may convert the
rowdy and rescue burning brands,
but if the gowns they wear are
dowdy. the world indiff rent
stands. "Be clean Within ex-
