No less than between 900 and 5000 men will be given work when the works are on, including the steel plant proper. the rail mill, the blast iron furnaces, the coal mines and coal washers, and ore mines, the ilinestona works and the railroad lines. There Is no denying the fact that number of orders were recently received for steel raii from railroads. but the orders did not carry immediate delivery with them, hence there is no hurry to get out the product. The statement is re- terated that there will be no cut fin steel prices.

 There appears to be no doubt but that some smaller manufacturing plants ena- ploying steel and iron in the daily op- eration will be erected in the vicinity of the big steel plant at Ensley. Prop erty purchases made in that neiRhbor- hood recently indicate that the steps are being taken looking to actual con struction being started on in the very near future.
 The coal market continues dull Not only are the commercial coal mines running slack, and in many instances shut down altogether, but also some of the iron companies mines. There are no less than 5000 miners in this State waiting impatiently for a resumption of operations at the mines. The Ten nessee Company will start up no less than six mines between now and June G.
 Several batteries of coke ovens will start up just as soon as the furnaces getting ready are put into operation. The demand for coke outside of the furnaces is rather quiet and the auo- tations are still at a very low mark.

Discovery of Osteopathy.

'The man who discovered osteopathy
was a great sufferer from headache"
said man who claims to know. "He
tried every remedy on earth almost,
but could get no permanent relief. One
day he had terrible headache and
went out into his front yard to lie un-
der the shade Of big tree and rest his
throbbing head on the cooling grass.
Suspended from limb of the tree was
rope swing used by the children.
The man lay under this swing for
awhile and finally put the rope under
his head to act as support. In few
moments he was surprised and pleased
to find that his headache was much
better In half an hour the pain had
gone. He began an investigation. He
discovered that the rope swing pressed
on the nerve in the back Of the head.
This pressure stopped the headache.
With more study he decided that many
pains could be relieved If nerves could
be given the proper treatment-a mas
sage. He started an osteopathic school
and has made a grand success

Departed Glories of Eez.

Fez the fertile" the Rome Of the
western Arabs, still retains traces of
the magnificence which made her in the
middle ages the rival of Mecca. In the
twelfth century the holy city, to which
when the road to Mecca was closed
pilgrimages were made, contained as
many as 700 temples, fifty Of which
were adorned with marble pillars. In
those old days the city was the haunt
Of philosophers, physicians and astron-
omers. A mere formal pretense of
study Is now all that is practlced.
"They have Euclid In folio Volumes" a
traveller writes, "but neither copied
nor read. The teacher sits crossleg-
ged on the ground and repeats in a
drawing tone between singing and
crying words which are echoed by the
scholars sitting around him." Fez. how
ever, is honest enough in one respect
she does not believe in outward show.
In the interior of the houses are apart
ments decorated with paintings and
arabesques, while the outside walls
are often built Of mud.

A Perfect MARRIAGE.

Most people know and admire the
work of the versatile William Blake,
poet and artist, but few people know
the story Of his perfect marriage, for a
perfect marriage 1t was indeed. In
1850 Blake fell in love with pretty
girl called Clara Woods, but she did
not care for him, and the blow was a
severe one to the impressionable young
man. He left London and took up his
abode at Richmond, where he lodged
with nursery gardener named Bouch-
er. Mr.. Boucher had beautiful daugh-
ter, Catherine, and she became the
confidant of the poets love affair, and
her generous sympathy so cheered
Blake's mental sufferings that he grad
ually fell in love with the gentle girl.
His affection was warmly returned,
and Catherine Boucher married VIII
liam Blake on Aug. 1S, 1882. 1t was
an ideal union. The young husband
took a delight in teaching his wife,
who was all eagerness to learn, and
the modest gardeners daughter be-
came eventually cultured woman,
who was an ardent hero worshiper of
her clever husband and who cheered
his life more than any one else could.
Mrs. Blake learned to color her hus-
bands drawings and was extraordi-
narlly adept in the work.

the portrait was paid for In three days
he would add a tall to the figure and
sell II to n wild benst Snowman TO

peer paid the money and instantly de
stroyed the picture.
More curious still Is n story OF Ho-
