The beginning of the cornflower cult came
to America, like the beginning of America
itself, in a little sailing craft, plunging
over the furrows of the ocean The Latin
name for the cornflower is Genesta, and
hat was the name of one of the yachts
sent out by John Bull to test conclusions
with Yankee keels. She was beaten, but
the cornflo wer remains a victor. One
sees it in more buttonholes this season
than ever. One sees it, too, now and then
in a hat, like that black-brimmed and

20 Years.

It is a great mistake to rely upon the
mercuria1 and potash remedies with
which doctors usually treat blood dis
eases. 1t is also useless to take RENE
DIV which is only tonic, and cannot
possibly touch a real blood trouble.
Scrofu1a is stubborn and deep-seated
disease of the blood. and all of the min
eral mixtures in the world cannot cure
it. S. S. S., purely vegetable COM
pour,d, gets at the root of the disease
and ,ern12rently rids the system OF it.
1t is a real blood remedy, for real blood
diseases, and has no equal.
Here is an interesting case where the
doctors were absolutely at sea.
Mrs. Y. T. Buck is the highly esteemed
wife of a wel1-known and prosperous
farmer residing near Delaney, Arkansas.
For twenty-five years she has been trou-
bied with a deep-seated blood disease
that bafled the skill of the doctors. She
saws: "Some doctors called my trouble
Eczema, some Salt Rheum, and others
Scrofu1a, and though their treatment
continued for years, they could not cure
me. l then began taking various medi-
cines, and took nearly every advertised

trouble. A celebrated specialist said
he could cure me and paid him in adj
vance. but he filed me full Of arsenic
and became b1oated and my digestion
so bad that life was a misery. L then
applied to DR.. w. c. Dabney, an ola
practitioner and medicine manufacturer,
who advised me to take S. S. s., saying
that one dozen bottles would cure me.
took four bottles and my body broke out
in boils and eruptions, but the doctor
told me that these symptoms were very
favorable, as this is the way the medl-
cine gets rid of the poison matter perma~
nently. After had used six bottles the
eruptions began to disappear, my appee--
tite improved, my digestion became all
right, and having finished the twelve
bottles, am perfectly healthy, my SKIN
is clear, the capillary circulation is
good, and l would not be in my former
condition for two thousand dollars.
S. S. S. never fails to cure blood
trouble. Scrofula, eczema, rheumatism,
contagious blood poison, and IN fact any
disorder of the blood is promptly wiped
out and cured by it. Do not rely upon
simple tonic to cure deep-seated blood
disease, but take a real blood remedy.
S. S. S. has made some wonderful
cures of cancer, and we would be pleased
to send full accounts of same to any adj
dress. We will also mail our books on

in diameter and all are constructed of
steel plate. One endless MANILA rope an
inch and half in diameter operates the
three screens. This does away with the
multiplicity of ropes and pulleys that
create so much confusion and embarrass
ment in the majority of breakers.
This colossal hosee of modern improve
ments for the preparation of anthracite
coal for shipment to market is 1870 feet
deep, 1876 feeet wide and over 20 feet at the
highest point, although, taking measure
ments from the level of the railroad
tracks to the highest point of the struc-
ture, which is built against rapidly slop-
ing ground, the heighth is considerably
over 100 feet The breaker is connected
with the shaft, which is located south
east, by a trestle 200 feet long. The load.
ing section of the breaker is altered so
that house, or freight, cars may be loaded
from the chutes. The capacity of the
breaker has been more than doubled. 1t
can prepare 1900 mine wagons, or 800
railroad cars of coal day. The previous
capacity was about 500 mine wagons.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken to prevent loss by reason of fire and
notices prohibiting smoking are plenti
fully distributed throughout the struc
ture. The precautions taken to prevent
injury, or loss Of life, by the operation of
the breaker, also seem quite adequate.
The outside improvements to follow the
completion of the breaker will be the
removal of the present nest of eight
boilers, which will be supplanted by a
nest of twelve tubular boilers.
Although the capacity of the breaker
will be greatly increased the number of
employees required to operate it will not
be, but more likely decreased, as the in
PRODUCTION of improved machinery will
supplant manual labor in many respects
Many additional hands will be required
inside the colliery, however, as the facili
ties for mining the coal and getting it tc
the breaker have been very much multi
piled. A 12x36 Allison pump has beer
placed at the bottom of the shaft, in the
Buck Mountain vein and several new
tunnels have been driven, one from the
Skidmore into the Mammoth. Several
rock chutes have been driven from the
7.foot up the old Mammoth for counter
chute. This chute will hold about 800
wagons of coal, Hereafter all coal will
be hoisted direct from the bottom of the
| shaft. There will be no second hoist.

The Strange and Awful Fate That
John POchutzky, a POlan-
der, Met.
WAS LITERALLY ROASTED.
THE MAN FELL ASLEEP ON A BED
WHILE SMOKING A
CIGARETTE.
His Children Sprinkled Coal Oil Over
Him While Playing About the
Bed and POchutzky Was
Wrapped in Flames.

John Pocbutzky, a Polish resident Of
South West street, died yesterday from
burns received under extraordinary cir
cumstances. Two thirds of the mans
body was literally roasted, his hands
being burned almost to a crisp.
At about four o'clock Thursday after
noon DIR. D, w. Straub was summoned to
Pochutzky's residence, and found the
man in agony on a bed in the second
story of the house. The victim was
roasted from the waist up and the skin
hung in great shreds from his neck and
body. He was in terrible condition and
the physician experienced considerable
trouble in dressing him.
Pochutzky was able to talk and told
DIR. Straub that on Thursday he left his
house and spent several hours drinking
with friends. He returned home and
| went to his bedroom. Thro wing himself
upon the bed Pochutzky lighted a
cigarette and fell asleep while smoking
it. He was aroused by his clothing and
the bed coverings burning his flesh. He
sprang from the bed and tried to open the
window, to jump out, but his fright was
| too great and he was unable to do So.
Neighbors who saw him at the window
ran into the house and extinguished the
! flames.
When DR.. Strsub visited the man there
was a strong odor of coal oil in the bed
room. The doctor also observed that
some of the victims clothing that had
been saved from the flames was also
saturated and the nature of the burns
indicated that the flames had been fed by
some very infammable material. The
| burns went deep into the flesh. Pochutzky
knew nothing of coal oil in connection
with his case, but woman in the house
told a story that accounts for the presence
of the oil. She stated that Pochutzky's
wife was in the lower part of the house
n ursing baby. While the husband was
lying on the bed other children of the
family played about the bed with Goa
oil lamp. This leads to the conclusion
that in their play the children spilled the
oil over the sleeping father who, probably
allowed the lighted cigarette to drol
upon his clothing, or the bed coverings
and the oil spilled by the children cam,
in contact with the fame of the cigarette
