Dr. Fallows of Reformed Episco
pal Church Says Telepa
thy Is a Fact
SPIRITS WILL SOLVE PROBLEM
Physic Phenomena Will Be TaUQht In
Colleges Churchman Calls It "lm
mortallsm," Which, He Says, Will
8oon Be Common.
Chicago. "Telepathy Is an estab
lished fact In recent years great
strides have been made in the expla
nation of psychic phenomena and in
the years to come the science of com
munication with the dead will be
made a part of the curriculum of great
educational Institutions. As its study
becomes systematized and more wide
ly spread greater advances will be
made and as we now talk with materi
al persons."
This statement was made to a cor
respondent by Bishop Samuel Fallows
of the Reformed Episcopal Church.
Future advancement in the science
of "immortallsm," which is spiritual
ism with the "fakes" left out, will
some day bring it to the point where
it will be studied by the masses Just
as they now delve Into Latin, arith
metic, geography or grammar, accord
ing to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at
St. Paul's "Why Am I an Immortalist
and Not a Spiritualist?"
Tho Bishop made some startling
statements in discussing his sermon
with the World correspondent to-day.
He frankly states that he formerly
fought shy of spiritualism and that
ho is Just beginning to Icarn.
In tho enlightened days to come,
says Dr. Fallows, we shall bo able to
converse with spirits of departed
friends and relatives. Their Btate will
be mado known to us through these
communications. They will be able to
advise us on knotty problems, ho
adds.
In his sermon Sunday, Bishop Fal
lows quoted a speech of Dr. Adam
Clarke, in which that celebrated com
mentator said:
"I believe that spirits may, accord
ing to the order of God, in tho laws of
their place of residence, have Inter
course with this world and become
possible to mortals."
"Did you ever see a spirit?" Bishop
Fallows was asked.
"No, I never have,' was the answer.
,'But I know persons who claimed to
have seen and talked with spirits, in
telligent members of my own congre
gation, whose words I have no reason
to doubt.
"I discourage them in their belief.
I now feel that their experiences were
of great value, and that I sustained
an incalculable loss by not going deep
er into the matter with them."
"You really believe, then, that spir
its may be visible to material persons,
and that they may talk with and influ
ence a material mind?" he was asked.
"I do firmly believe that. There are
well authenticated cases on record
whore Important actions of noted men
have been Influenced by some super
natural communication.
"In many cases they were unable to
identify tho mysterious agencies.
They had merely an intangible feel
ing that they should chango their
course. But in other cases they wero
able to remember the spirit who talk
ed to them, to repeat its exact words
and to describe its appearance. Theso
Instances cannot be doubted, as they
come from men high in their profes
sions. "There are great truths in spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand, but we have to
admit them. I have called the new
science 'Immortallsm' because it de
pends for its existence upon the im
mortality of the soul, in which wo all
believe, and the preservation of Iden
tity beyond the grave. Immortallsm
is simply spiritualism with all the
frauds and trickery eliminated. On
account of these frauds spiritualism
has been shunned by many right
thinking people, but immortallsm will
claim their most earnest attention."
In support of his belief Bishop Fal
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views.
Blackbirds Become Pests.
Brazil, Ind. A wholesale slaughter
against blackbirds has begun in this
town. The birds come from every
direction in great flocks and thou
sands of them assemble nightly in
the trees, their riolse making the resi
dents nearly frantic. Flocks of mar
tins assemble in the same neighbor
hood and attack the blackbirds with
great fury. The din has become un
bearable, and the people have obtain
ed permission from the officers to
shoot tho pests.

FOR YOUNG CHICKS.
Arkansas Station Bulletin on the
Proper Feed,
In order to have good, early matur
ing birds it Is necessary that they
havo a good start The care given
tho first few weeks Is largely respon
sible for success or failure later on.
Regularity of feeding, cleanliness and
pleaty of grit and clean, fresh water
are all Important phases. Chicks,
should bo protected from storms and
sudden changes of weather, as these
very often result in heavy mortality.
Paultrymen differ as to when the
chick should receive Its first food.
Good results have been secured when
the chicks have been permitted to pick
a little sand or fine grit from a clean
board when from 36 to 4S hours old.
In no case should they receive food
of any kind before they are at least
36 hours old. When about 48 hours
old they may be fed hard-boiled eggs,
crushed with the shells and bread
crumbs of equal parts, moistened in
milk and squeezed dry. After that
almost any of the prepared chick
foods may bo fed about five times a
day till the chicks are from two to
three weeks old, when coarser grains,
such as wheat screenings and corn
chop, may bo substituted and not fed
oftener than three times a day It is
advisable to let tho chicks have ac
cess to green feed at all times. Fine
clover hay cut with an ordinary straw
cutter is excellent and also makes a
good litter In which :o scatter the
feed. Feeding chicks and keeping
them growing is an art which enn only
be learned by experience and for
which no rules can bo given. Keep
the chicks hungry or t least suffi
ciently so to be eager to eat when
fresh food is offered them.
Sanitary Poultry Nest.
The present day tendency to em
ploy sanitary measures in tho dairy,
the stable, the doghouse, etc., has at
last extended to tho poultiy yard. Tho
Industrious hen Is to be provided with
a sanitary nost, which can be readily
washed and scrubbed as occasion de
mands. This recent development is
shown In the accompanying illustra
tion. The nest is made of wire and is
supported in a suitable housing, botn
Easily Cleaned,
of which can bo removed from tho
chicken house when cleaning Is neces
sary. When thus removed they can
bo conveniently placed in a suitable
receptacle containing boiling water
and thoroughly cleansed of all impuri
ties and undesirable Insects.
Softshell Eggs.
The production of soltshelled eggs
causes much anoyance and loss in
many poultry-yards. Such eggs are
valueless for any purpose save home
use, as they cannot produce chickens
and they cannot bo sent to market,
says the American Cultivator. There
are three causes of softshelled eggs,
the commonest of which is an insuffi
cient supply of shell forming material.
Laying hens require a generous pro
portion of lime in their food, as in
100 ordinary sized eggs there are
more than 20 ounces of pure lime.
Finely broken oyster shell is an excel
lent and a cheap form in which to sup
ply the necessary lime. Fright some
times causes a hen to lay an egg with
out a shell, but this is not so serious
a matter, and is only temporary. The
third cause is due to a derangement of
the egg organs, and if the abundant
supply of lime has not the desired ef
fect more drastic measures are need
ed. All food of a stimulating nature
should be stopped at once, and an
aperient given, consisting of one grain
of calomel and one-twelfth grain of
tartar emetic. A little iron should
be added to the drinking water as a
tonic, and the food should mainly con
sist of boiled rice.
Packing Eggs for Market.
Instead of packing eggs in oats, saw
dust or bran, for transportation to
market, try placing a newspaper on
the bottom of the box or basket Put
In a layer of eggs, laying them close
ly so as to prevent moving about
Over this lay two thicknesses of news
paper then another layer of eggs, and
so on till tho receptacle is filled. Cov
er the top layer with a blanket or
shawl. This will be found more satis
factory than the old way.
Notes.
If your hens are not getting along
in their moult as fast as they should,
give them some kind of tonic and
food that will help the growth of new
feathers.

Mother Forced Runaway Girl
to Pose as Her Son for
Nineteen Years
SHE FLEES TO WEAR DRESSES
Posthumous Child Named Frederick
Visits Police and Emerges as Fed
erica Tells Police Deception was
Practiced to Gain Inheritance.
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Frederick
Adams, 19 years old, of Sioux City,
walked into Police Headquarters here
and said he was a girl. The police
sergeant behind tho desk rubbed his
eyes, took a steady look, signaled to
two patrolmen and said: "Handle
him gently; it's either sunstroke or
plain lunacy." Adams became indig
nant; repeated that he was a girl,
and imparted the additional informa
tion that he wanted the police to as
sist him in. obtaining girl's clothing.
At tho Insistent demand of the youth
a matron was called and a remarkable
story was developed.
It took short investigation to estab
lish the fact that the caller's real
name is Miss Frederick Adams. The
young woman was christened Fred
erick in Plalnfleld, N. J., at the direc
tion of her father, who died Bhortly
before her birth. Tho man wished
for a son, for the reason that a boy
meant the winning of a large fortune.
A relative stipulated in his will that if
a boy was born to the Adamses the
fortune would go to him when he
reached his majority, but that if a
girl was born the estate would be dis
tributed among other relatives. The
posthumous child was a girl, and with
the object of gaining the Inheritance
deception was practiced. The baby
girl was called Frederick and was
raised as a boy.
Miss Adams appeared in Police
Headquarters dressed in a blue serge
suit, white shirt, turn down collar,
bow tie, blue socks, patent leather
shoes and jaunty straw hat. Her hair
was cut short and parted at the side.
"After father died mother took mo
to a farm near Council Bluffs," said
tho girl. "We live there yet, and I
ran away yesterday. I have never
boon permitted to bo a girl. When I
was a child I wanted dolls, but my
mother made nie play with tops and
tin soldiers. I was turned out with
buys and was forced to take part In
their rough games. I had to fight
with my fists and play marbles and
baseball, and when I couldn't hel'
crying the boys booed me and callet
me 'Sissy' and told me to go homo to
my mother's apron strings.
"I stood it as long as I could. I
had only to wait another two years,
but if that fortune mado me as rich
as Rockefeller I don't want it unless
I can get it as a girl. I've worked on
the farm as a boy and I don't like
that. I've fished, hunted and played
hookey from school as a boy, but now
I want to bo my real self and wear
girl's clothes and call myself Fred
erica." The police were puzzled, but finally
decided to take her before a magis
trate. In court Miss Adams repeated
her story and the magistrate remand
ed her in the care of tho matron until
her mother nrrives from Council
Bluffs. The matron dressed the girl
In feminine attire and in her first
attempt to walk she tripped In tho
skirt and went full length on the
floor.
SQUARE MEAL FOR NEWSBOY.
Takes Place of Man Who Had to Hur
ry from Restaurant.
Minneapolis, Minn. "Jimmle"
Burns, a tiny newsboy, obtained a
sumptuous feast In a strange manner
and he Is now known as "Lucky Jim
mle." A man waiting for a Mlnnetonka
car went into a Hennepin avenue ros
taurant, and just as a big meal of
steak, with side dishes and fruit, was
placed in front of him he saw his car.
Reluctantly he arose, paid the bill,
and, on going outside, met little "Jim
mle" to his place at the table and told
him to "go to it"
While the youngster was devouring
the meal his companions spied him
and he was the envy of all the other
newsleb, who thought that he had
made a big stako with bis papers.
.Maple Tree Has Iron Heart.
Darby, Pa. A maple tree on the
property in G. Roberts Powell, has im
bedded in its trunk an old brake
beam about six inches wide which
was placed in the crotch forty years
ago by Powell's father. It is firmly
imbedded in tho heart of the runk,
with about a foot of it protruding on
each side.
Gallery of the Dead.
Pittsburg, Pa. "A Gallery for the
Dead," in which is kept a thorough
system of photographs and measure
ments of every unidentified person
brought to the institution has been
established at the County Morgue
here. Bertillon operators are In
chargo of the gallery. It is said the
gallery is the only one of Its kind In
the country.
Aristotle says: "The aim of labor

ORNAMENT FOR THE TABLE.
Pretty Idea In Decoration Adapted
from the Japanese.
Pretty ideas for table decorations
are always welcome, and one sketch,
illustrates an easily-made ornament,
that should be especially welcome
Just at this time of the year. It Is
constructed with slender sticks of
wood arranged In tripod fashion, and
tied together at tho top with narrow
ribbon. There are also throe slender
sticks at base, that help to hold the
longer pieces In position, and they are
tied together with smart little ribbon
bows where they cross. To finish off
thi. ends of the sticks, little pins with
colored glass hends are inserted.
Suspended in the center 1b a small
Japanese pot (theso little pots can be
bought for a few cents, with holes in
the rims already made, by which they
may be hung up) nnd in which can be
placed flowers or a small fern.
Round and round the stick may be
twisted the leaves of a creeper, such
as smilax or small Ivy, making a very
pleasing decoration for winter, and at
other seasons there are always many
pretty trailing plants available.
On the left-hand sldo of tho sketch
tho leaves are shown twisted
round one of tho sticks, and all the
rest of the woodwork Is left bare to
show the way In which It should be
constructed.
A Knock at Fashion's Eye.
It is hard to see what gain will
come to the eighteen young women
who are off to Europe with all their
extra clothing packed in eighteen
satchels, with only eighteen hats
among the party to last until the re
turn to this country. Of course, trav
eling may be mado ligbtly easier,
but there will be no recompense in
frequent changes. Even in Europe
omen take pride in their wardrobes,
and incline to vanity In the problem
of dress. Where is the fominine love
of decoration in these eighteen Ameri
can young women? One of tho joys
of a European trip for the average
woman is the exploration of the shops
of the various capitals, and what do
theso women Intend to do by way of
diversion? Are they to go poking
around old cathedrals and tumble
down castles with guide books in their
hands? They may gather much his
toric lore on this tour, but if they
expect to get close to the people of
the Old World they will be mistaken.
They will be shunned by the servants,
in railroad stations, hotels and else
where, who anticipate the size of the
tip by tho show of prosperity. Wom
en will be interested in them only as
curiosities, and men will waste no
admiration on them. High-minded
and practical as may be the plan of
these young women to travel 3,000
miles away from home in one hat and
with a, single change of garments, it
is likely they will meet nothing more
curious on all their travels than them
selves. Making a Rare Lettuce.
Mrs. Francis G. Newlands, niece of
Ward McAllister and wife of the Ne
vada Senator, has succeeded in grow
ing a rare lettuce in the garden of
her country home near Washington.
The lettuce is very bitter, and as a
salad it Is a delicacy to the cultivated
taste. Mrs. Newlands Imported the
seed from Italy, and she is one of the
first to grow this variety in America.
The Newlands occupy the estate which
formerly was the home of John R.
McLean, and later was owned by Ad
miral Dewey. Mrs. Newlands person
ally directs all work in the extensive
garden. Hero she grows a large vari
ety of herbs. She has cut the garden
in two with a low wall of loose Btones,
which now is covered with vines of
wild roses, honeysuckle and Ivy.
Poise Revealed In a Woman's Walk.
A woman who walks well is a more
helpful member of society because she
has better health. She is alert and
alive, and finds all the world Inter
esting. Then, too, the woman who
has learned to walk gracefully finds
a reaction on her nervous system. A
new calmness and self-control show
in her manner and face, and even
more In her voice, for those delicate
muscles which we call the vocal
chords vibrate in harmony with tho
movement of tho individual. And,
free from self-consciousness, tho
graceful woman expresses her best
self, for her every motion suggests
dignity, kindness, reserve power, sym
pathy, and that most charming of all
womanly attributes, graclousness.
