Instead of regarding this as a de formity they seem to think It a natural fea ture of physical development, and tourists passing through the alleys are sometimes jeered by the goitrous inhabitants, because they are without this offensive swelling. Thus a form of disease may become so com mon that It la regarded as a natural and necessary 'condition of life. It Is so, to a large extent, with what are called diseases of women . Every woman suffers more or less from Irregularity, ulceration, debilitat ing drains, or feamale weakness, and this suffering is so common and so universal that many women accept it as a condition natural and necessary to their sex. But it is a condition as unnatural as It is unnec essary.

Supply cf Eggs Not Equal to the Le- mand. From the New York Commercial. While the demand for eggs Is constantly increasing the supply shows a disappoint ing decrease. The speculative element in the market is in consequence expecting higher prices, while the trade in general Is only striving to keep up its supply. Last year's receipts on the New York markets were over 90, 0OOJ0O0 dozen, but the receipts for the first six months of this year show a decided falling off. New York is the largest egg market In the world, and last year handled over - is, -000,000 worth of eggs, figured at the aver age retail price of 20 cents. The calico print interests use, it is rough ly estimated, over 40,000,000 dozen eggs annually, while the coffee roasters, the photographic trades, the cracker and bis cuit combines, and the chemical trades con sume twice as many. In fact, the grocer is to day compelled to compete in the general market against the buyers from a dozen manufacturing interests. The leath er and leather product trades are also ex tensive users of eggs for tanning and re fining purposes, as are also the several patent food concerns. Wine and liquor jobbers find the egg indispensable in "find ing," and, in fact, when all the other In terests have been supplied the grocer is In deed fortunate if be gets what he needs. England last year Imported over 820,000, 000 worth of eggs, but the American egg had hardly any representative in these millions of cases. French, German and especially Canadian eggs reached the English market to the exclusion of the American article. This Is principally due, say the leading dealers, to the fact that under the present tariff Canada, being un able to ship eggs into this country, sends them to Europe. Under these .conditions, even if the American supply were in great excess of the demand, which it has never been, competition with Canada would be out of the question. "It may not be generally known," said Mr. Martin, of G. W. Martin & Bros., "but the volume of the egg business in this country is larger than many of the supposed great businesses. The profit Is much smaller, with the transactions quick -er, but In the aggregate the egg business Is one of the most Important and extensive in the country. Eighteen millions of dollars' worth of eggs were handled In this city alone last year, while Chicago, St. Louis and the other markets together would prob ably more than double this figure. The manufacturing interests, of course, have had a great effect upon the market, hut th- j mand from the table is growing heavier every day. The farmers are learning this and chicken raising, which a tew years ago was practically neglected, is now becoin ing as much of an ludustry as hay or wheat robing, aud much more profitable. "The National Biscuit Co buys 4.000 11. hi eggh a week, or ltVuoo dozeti a uieiith, while the innumerable smaller and independent concerns buy as much more all In the local market. Outside of New York, these aud similar interests are also heavy buyers, as in the instance of the calico print trades, which buy from five million to eight million dozen eggs a year on this market. Statistics show that these trades use over 40,000,000 dozen annually, buying mostly in the New England markets. Dye manufacturers are also extensive buyers of eggs, as are the confectioners and bakers. The commercial uses of the egg are numerous, and in a dozen trades it Is found absolutely indispensable." "The egg is a much more important factor of commerce than most people believe," said Supt. F. W. Henry, of the Mercantile Exchange, to a reporter for the Commercial. In only one instance have 1 noticed that a substitute for the egg has been found, and that is in the manufacture of photographic paper, where collodion and gelatine are now being used, which are just as satisfactory and much cheaper. In the other trades, however, the egg Is still a factor, and an Important one at that." Who Will be our next President? Politicians are now planning forjtbe presi dential campaign ot 1900, but the war has so overshadowed all other matters that poli tics is almost unnoticed. Many people are of the opinion that the candidates will be the same as in 1896, but there may be a "dark horse" who will win the race. Popu larity has much to do with candidates. This is also true with medicine. The most popu lar remedy today is 11 oh tetter's Stomach Bitters, and It has retained this for many years.

Nearly 30 people were killed by an accident on the Stratford extension of the Sholton street railway company at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Aug1. 6th, when a loaded trolley car went off the trestle over Peck's mill pond, about aiz miles north of Bridgeport, Ct., and sank in the flats 40 feet below. The trestle is 440 feet long, made pf iron, with stone foundations, and was not protected by guard rails. South of the trestle is an incline down which the car ran at a high rate of speed. After it ran onto the trestle for about 10 feet the trucks left the rails and then the car continued on the ties for about 75 feet, when it went off the trestle and dropped into the pond below, over turning completely and up-ended. When the oar struck, the four-ton motor and the heavy trucks crushed into it, instantly killing many of the passe ngers. Have Taken Up Arms.
