HOT DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.
Resentment of Irish Members Strained
to an Unusual Degree.

London, July 26-The closing days of
the sessions of parliament are witnessing
heated discussions of the ever-occurring
Irish questions. This week was especially
notable for the fierceness of the accusa-
tions and reciminations banded across
the narrow forum of the house of COM
mons.
The resentment of the Irish members
was stirred to an unusual degree by the
discovery of alleged secret documents of
the land trust organized by the land
lords for the avowed purpose of resisting
threatening combinations of tenants and
sIppressing the boycotting and intimida-
ton instigated by the United Irish league
or otherwise Irish leaders point out that

JEFFRIEs' NOSE BROKEN.
Champion Suffers No Pain From the
lnjury-Fitz Out for Good.

San Francisco, July 26.-Upon an exam
inc ton made by surgeon after his fight
with Ftzsimmons last night it was found
that Jeffres' noae was broken The cham
pion was not aware CT the injury until
the excitement of the battle had. worn
off. A doctor was then called and he pro-
nounced the small bones CT the nose
broken. Jeffries believes the injury was
ieoeived in the second or third round from
a left jab on the bridge of the nose. The
champion declared he felt no pain from
the injury and would soon be In good
shape again. He spent the night at the
bat his.
When Fitz had been counted out and
he congratulated Joffries. he walked to
the side of the ring and, fllnging one of

.om the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
u FEW days ago a young woman
~ hurried into the office of Post
master Van Colt and asked to
have a letter withdrawn from the mails.
She had posted it an hour previously
she said, and since then had learned
something about Mr.. Blank that licensed
her; therefore she did not want to keep
the appointment she had consented to in
the letter. Could she reclaim the missive
before it reached the addressee? she in
quired.
THE postmaster referred her to the SUI
perintendent of mails, and within half
an hour the letter was picked out from
among thousands of its mates and re-
stored to the claimant, who tore it into
bits and walked out of the. postoffiee.
THE authorities of the postoffice have
made every provision for absent and
fickle-minded patrons of the mails.
Among the most interesting and valuable
is the process by which a letter may be
reclaimed after it has been posted.
Comparatively few people know that
this can be done, and fewer care to take
the trouble of going through the forms
which have been prescribed-forms which
are to a degree cumbersome and time
consuming, but which, nevertheless, are
necessary to prevent deception and
fraud.
Occasions arise when the writer of an
important letter desires to withdraw it
before 1t reaches its destination. Often
times additional knowledge of proposed
transaction is acquired after letter has
been sent to the postoffice, making it
highly desirable that the facts related in
the letter do not reach the person for
whom they were originally intended. In
case, too, where knowledge of the fail
ure of a mercantile firm or a banking
mouse reaches a person who has mailed
4 check or draft to that concern, ii is
sometimes wise to withdraw the letter
before 1t is delivered.
The postal authorities have a system
by which such letters may be reclaimed
If application is made for 1t before 1t is
delivered. Application must be made in
person. The government provides
blank upon which the applicant writes
the address that is given on the letter.
If that letter has not left the postoffice
the Superintendent of mails finds 1T and
compares the address on the envelope
with the address on the applicants slip.
If the addresses are Identical the letter
Is returned to the claimant and the au-
thorities keep the slip as a receipt
To reclaim a letter sent out of the Of
fee the writer must fill out the prescrib-
ed blank and deposit 81 for kilograms.
The superintendent Of mails then tele-
graphs the postoffice to which the letter
has been sent and asks him to return It,
When Il reaches him he compares the
addresses and II they are alike he re-
turns the letter to the applicant. The ex-
pense of telegrephing IL deducted from

From the Chicago Tribune.
1.-The farm hands finish is in plain
sight" said man who had just returned
from the West And the farm horse is
headed down the same pike. In their
stead is coming the little ehoo-choo engine
of the traction type.
"Out in the prairie region the tendency
is all toward big farms. The agricutur-
al unit out there has been the quarter
section, or 16O acres.
Few of the farmers are satisfied now
with such a small bunch of land, and they
are reaching out all the time for more.
Wheat and corn have been topping the
market at such prices that nearly every
fellow is crazy to go into raising them on
a big scale. And they have the money
and the intelligence to do it, and do IL
proftably.
Right here is where invention comes
in. On the ordinary farm, where two or
three men with the same number of
teams of horses can do all the work, it
isn't really necessary to call on the ma
chine man for artificial aid, but when the
farming is done on a big scale it pays
better to buy a traction engine. These
are not the ordinary big, slumsy attach
ments to thrashing outfits, but compactly
built little fellows, with gasoline as the
motive power.
with them there is no need of getting
out at ungodly hours in the morning to
feed and water a lot of animals. Five
minutes work fills the tank and makes
the machine ready to do your blowing,
narrowing, or cultvating.
The first cost of these engines is pretty
steep, from $1,000 up. but it cost less to
run them than it does to feed horses, and
they never get Dalky. They last longer
than the average work horse, and they
do ten times as much work in day.
"Out in Nebraska ran across fellow
with a gang pillow, five in a row, hitched
to one of these little engines and it was
steadily moving across the 100-acre field
and tearing up the sod at a lively rate.
This same man told me that when 1t
came to narrowing he tackled on two or

OATS AND THEIR CULTURE.

The high price of oats will stimulate
many to crowd this branch Of agricul-
tnre. Not few farmers throug bout the
country are feeding fewer oats than ever
before, owing to the price. The wet
weather last year in some parts Of the
country prevented people from sowing
oats. Those who did were unable to re-
alize very much from their labor for tn e
reason that weather conditions we're very
unfavorable. When the seed was SOW n
the ground was wet, heavy and in al
most every way unfit to receive the grain
Many pieces came up we'll, but soon be-
gan to turn reddish yellow, and later
seemed TO die.
The season in some sections was very
dry in the fall Of 1901, so that the farm
ers didn't think it advisable to plow.-
Then came winter abruptly shutting of
all further proceedings. The consequnce
was that q very small proportion of the
ground to be devoted to oats this wear
was plowed. Things will come with a
rush as spring opens, and our farmers
will be compelled to exercise unusual
care or the work of seeding will be
done poorly this year as we'll as last -
Ever, thing should be done beforehand
30 that we may be all ready to begin the
work on time. The plows and harrows
should be put in condition il they are
not so already. Points, teeth, bolts and
wheels should be in place and whole, 80
that as soon as the season opens things
may move, The hurry of the work
should not cause any degree Of sighting
The plowman should do his work we'll,
and the harrow should follow and keep
following until the seed bed has been
made as perfect as possible. The drill
should not be hurried so that gaps will
be left. The roller. wherever used
should press the soil down we'll, and the
Sunshine and rain will do the rest.
FertiliEing for oats is profitable II
one has the manure to spare. a dressing
Of good barnyard manure narrowed in
Just before seeding will yield fine result
But the best part Of il will be- the help
thus given TO grass seed. Nothing more
certainly ensures G God seeding than
such a dressing of manure. Aud after
all, this is what most Of us are laboring
for II we can get good crop of clover
or timothy next year we feel we'll repaid
Tor all our extra labor. And while on
this point let me say that our best ludg
ment is that seeding ahead Of the drill
pays best. Thus the seed gets good
covering and is far more apt to grow
than il scattered over the top of the
earth.
