ESTIMATED VOTES OF WAM COUNTY Sent to State Board to Enable Officials to Print the Number of Ballots.

According to an estimate of the number of ballots required in Wayne county at the forthcoming election made by County Auditor Bowman for the state board of election, there are about 16,350 voters in the county. The estimated vote of all parties in the state is 877,353. This figure is the result of calls made on county clerks and auditors for estimates as to the total number of ballots needed in each precinct of the state. The board added twenty-five percent to the total estimated by the county officials. The board also added 2,000 ballots to the shipment to each county as a reserve package. The estimate of other counties in the Sixth district follows: Fayette, 5,163; Franklin, 4,447; Hancock, 4,955; Henry, 8,012; Rush, 5,678; Shelby, 8,422; Union, 2,200.

Watir is both food and drink to plant life and should be gwen intelligently that, is. when the plant needs it. Tli ere can be no hard and fast rule laid down as to how often or how much water to give a plant, for conditions vary. Evaporation may be much greater at one time than at another. The best rule to follow for nearly all plants, except ferns, is to give a thorough drenching and then allow the surface soil to become dry before watering thoroughly again. Ferns require more water than most plants, and the earth should never be allowed to become entirely dry. Never water with very cold water. Temper the water before pouring it on to the plants so as not to chill them. In growing plants in the house one must try to carry out as far as possible the conditions of a greenhousewarm, moist air and for this renscm a kettle of water should remain at nil limes on the radiator, register - rove to keep the air moist. And not amiss to say that this is a jl-. ;anifary precaution even if then no plants in the room, for mos; our steam and furnace heated city i ;ises and ap.trtments are kept far ion lu-t and dry for health. Duwt is an enemy to plant life. Plants breathe through their leaves. Therefore it la necessary to keep them free from dust. At least once a week and t'tct.er if the room la very warm or dusty the plants should be put in the liuthtub on their side and gently sprinkled with a bath spray. Remember that rain never falls upon plant life at the temperature and force it comes from a city hydrant. Therefore jrive them a gentle shower, but Bee thnt all parts of the leaves are thoroughly washed. It? is also a good Idea to spray the plants daily with a hand aton:i.er. If this is not accessible a whisk broom dipped in water and shaken over the plants answers the same purpose and may even take the place of the bath spray if used vigorously and thoroughly. Never water a plant with the sun shining upon it or put it in the sunshine while the leaves are wet. The best time for watering is early in the morning or about sundown. Some plants need watering twice a ( day. but most plants require wetting but once a day and under certain conditions not more than once in two or -' days. It is best to judge by the !nns of the soil. !i household ammonia, well dilu a teaspoonful of ammonia to a half pint of water, poured on the earth about once a month is beneficial, but remember it is only to be put on the toil and not on the leaves. Throughout the world the total capital in railroads amounts to $45,000,000,000.

Tails of the Syrian Breed Weigh Ten to Fifteen Pounds. It has been suggested that in the sheep fattening process, which is common In the vicinity of Damascus, one might be able to trace the original meaning of the Biblical phrase, "the fatted calf." Mrs. Mcintosh thus describes the process In her book, "Damascus:" "The sheep differ from ours. When we show pictures of the latter to the natives they ask what animals they are. They miss the enormous tails of the Syrian Kheep. in which the fat of the body seems to concentrate and which, after skinning and preparing, often weigh ten to fifteen pounds. "Early in the summer the head of each family buys or sets apart one. two or three sheep, according to his rank in life or his wealth. The women and children devote themselves with great zeal to fattening these shpep. The children fill large baskets with mulberry leaves and carry, them to their mothers. These several times s day and also in the night take little wooden stools and sit by the sheep. With one hand they keep the sheep' mouth open; with the other they cram In the leaves, forcing them down the throat. "Twice a day the sheep are led to the village fountain to drink, and their coats are frequently washed. About the end of September the work of the women and children comes to an end. The sheep have grown so fat they cannot stand up. They are then killed. Their .flesh is boiled with spices and put into pots for winter use. This mincemeat is eaten as a relish at fea tivities." BIG BELLS. Canton Has One Eighteen Feet High and Forty-five Feet In Circumference. Some of the old world bells are heavy indeed. "Great raul" of St. Paul's cathedral, in London, weighs nearly seventeen tons and is nearly thirty feet around. . The first "BijC Ben'' of Westminster was cast moro than fifty years ago and weighed about fourteen tons and was about twenty-eight feet around. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was made over, losing some weight, and the clapper was made smaller, being now 600 pounds instead of about a ton. "Peter of York" cost $10,000, weight twelve and one-half tons: twenty-two feet in diameter or thereabouts. The largest hanging bell in the world is said to be that in the great Buddhist monastery near Canton. It Is eighteen feet In height, and fortyflre feet in elrcnmference, being cast of solid bronze. This is one of eight monstct bells that were cast by command of the Emperor Yung Lo about A. D. 1400. It is said to have cost the lives of eight men. who were killed in the process of casting. The whole bell on both sides is covered with an inscription in embossed Chinese characters about half an inch in length, covering even the top piece from which it swings, the total number being S4.000. These characters tell a single story, one of the Chinese classics.

CARL MORRIS DELIGHTS BIG AUDIENCE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. i That this city is in favor of Sunday concerts of high grade was demonatmtaA voatnrHsr nftunnnii whon th I Murray theatre was comfortably filled to hear the New York baritone, Carl Morris, in song recital. Mr. Morris having been brought here by the wri-j ,-i ..v, n ?, ii yj L iuid ai lilit; iiu a mch ji iustituting a series of such affairs throughout the coming winter. i Mr. Morris is regarded as one of the most promising of the younger oratorio and concert vocalists, and is constantly advancing in his art and in the graces of the public. His audience yesterday was a cordial and appreciative one, testified to by the long and continued applause after each number and the numerous j encores. ! One of the anomalies of the musical art is that which sometimes serves its devotes an ill turn after a long and severe initiate by sacrificing quality to technique. In other words, berefts the singer of his supreme talent in learning its principles. In the loss : of the effectiveness of the medium j through the latter's translation. In not being able to sing after he knows ' how. This is not the instance, however, with Mr. Morris ! Mr. Morris has a remarkable vocal organ, fresh, unspoiled, rich and full of color, with exquisite nuances ot tone and of overwhelming dramatic possession. While Mr. Morris is appealing in his lyric presentations, he dominates in the big, dramatic numbers, for his voice has a certain histrionic quality rare enough among either concert or operatic singers. This in contradistinction to the endowment of histrionic ability in the

The group of French ! sones. of which the latter was the fourth were among the most beauti. fully interpreted of the afternoon. Among the more purey lyric num. bers RubenStein's "Tear" with words I by that lyricist poet, Thomas Moore, was given with exquisite tenderness. "The Cresent Moon," too, by Wilfred Sanderson, was sung with depth of feeling and the charming little "Banjo Song," by Homer, interpreted with the proper appreciation of its peculiar charm. Two songs welcomed by those who care for the literature as well as the music of a song, were "Invictus", by Bruno Huhn, whose words are that magnificent apostrophe to the integrity of the individual and the imperishability of the soul written by Ernest Henley, the English poet, and friend of Robert , Louis Stevenson, himself, as his j friend, a life long invalid. Mr. Morris j sang this with thrilling effect both j in its intellectual, spiritual and its : musical significance, and has the ' gratitude of many in his audience for . including it in his program.
