In some of the. Swiss valleys the
inhabitants ale all sfflicted with
goitre or "thick neck" Instead OF
regarding this as deformity they
seem to think it a natural feature of
physical development, and tourists
passing through the valleys are some
times jsered by the goitrous inhabi-
tants because they are without this
offensive swelling. Thus form of
disease may become so common that
it is regarded as natural and neces-
sary condition of life. 1t is so, to a
large extent, with what are called
diseases of women. Every woman
suffers more or less from irregularlty,
liberation, debilitating drains, or fe.
male weakness. and this suffering is
so common and SO universal that
many women accept it as a condition
natural end necessary to their sex.
But it is condition as unnatural as
it is UNNECESSARY. The use of

A Specimen.

Those who apologize for trusts on
the ground that they reduce the price
of articles, fly in the face of facts
which are not presented In the daily
operations of these combinations to
prevent competition. The tin plate
trust is a good instance.
Before the tin plate mills in this
country were consolidated, tin plate
sold at $500 box. 1t is said this
gave the manufacturers fair profit.
But they were mot satisfied, They
combined for the purpose of raising
the price of their product, and the
very high tariff by which they are
protected enabled them to raise it
with 8 vengeance.
Waving crushed competition at home
and with the tariff wall between them
aud competition from abroad, they
were inabled to shoot the price of tin
plate from $500 to 81 a box.-Atlsn-

FREIGHT CARS DERAILED.
Engines on the Pennsylvania Rail-

road Crash Together.
There was a collision between engines
Nos 10 and So. on the tracks Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday on Four
teenth Street north Of the Long Bridge
4 large number Of freight cars attached to
engine No. l10 were deralled.
That the accident did not result in more
serious damage to property and perhaps in
the loss Of life is owing TO the prompt
action Of Engineer j. G. ROssiter and
Fireman D. H. Curran. who were IN charge
OF engine No. 10 and c. c. Curtin, the
engineer who was at the throttle OF engine
No. s32.
The accident. e Is said, was caused by
an open switch on the Pennsylvania Rail
road tracks az the intersection Of Four
teenth Street and Maryland Avenue, and
occurred at 16:45 q. N. At that time en-
gine No 10, hauling a long train of freight
cars. crossed the bridge on time. When
nearing the curve Engineer Rossiter dis
covered that the switch on the curve lead
ing to the tracks extending 10 Maryland
Avenue was open. He reversed the throt-
lie and put on the emergency brakes, but
il was too late TO prevent the engine and
several Of the cars from being derailed..
At the same moment engine No. S32 in
charge of Engineer Curtin, was leaving
the Southern Railway engine house He
saw his danger and promptly reversed his
engine. He was too late TO avoid a col
lision, and the locomotives came together
with crash. and suffered much damage.
Fortunately none OF the crews on either
train was injured.
The accident caused some delay IN the
travel on the Washington. Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway, which was com
ueiled to transfer its patrons from one
train TO another at the place Of the acci-
dent
