HEALING- FAITH.
Chicago Beforined Episcopal Church ,
to Treat Body as Well as Soul.
A new and important departure has
been taken by St. Paul's Reformed
Episcopal Church of Chicago , under
the leadership of Bishop Samuel Fal
lows. The church has added healing
of ( lie body to its spiritual ministra
tions , following somewhat nlong the
lines pursued by Christian Scientist * ,
although with several fundamental dif
ferences. Christian psychology , as ex
plained by Bishop Fallows , does not
Ignore physicians as does Christian
Science , but works hand in hand with
the medical profession , and the work
of healing undertaken at St. Paul's
will be applied only to such patients

which tli" action of the mind plays an
important part. Cure of org-inie

patients suffering from them will be
valded as far as possible by suggestion ,
-faith and persuasion.
The \ diseases and weaknesses to
-which Christian psychology is to be
.applied at St. Paul's are functional
nervous disorders , hypochondria , in-
. .somnia , nervous dyspepsia , melan
cholia , mental depre- iou , hysteria ,
neurasthenia , the drug habit , the liquor
habit , want of self-confidence , irrita
bility , worry , anger , fear and weakness
of will. The class of ca es in whi"h

will be similar in nature to that which

idea , which Is characterized by them as
excellent. Christian psychology reaches ,
through the medium of the church ,
many patients with whom the regular
medical practitioners can do nothing ,
or little , often because they cannot give
enough timeto the individual case.
Christian psychology works through
the influence of mind , suggestion , will
poucr and perMiasion. all based on re-
li-rion and religious beliefs. The Bible
and the infinite God are behind it all , "
continued Bishop Fallows. "The sub
jects however , who come for treat
ment do not have to be believers in
Christianity. They may be out-and-
out pagans. That docs not affect the
workings of the laws of God , and
Christian psychology can and will cure
r.nbclievers as well as the most devout
Christians. "
BMiop Fallow. * , who was born in
England in 1S:13. : has led an active and
militant career , lie came to this coun
try in IMS. settling in Wisconsin , and
in 1S. > 1 uas ordained in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. During the Civil
\ \ : > r he served as a colonel and was
brevettod brigadier general. He served
three terms as State superintendent of
public instruction in Wisconsin and in
1875 united with the Reformed Episco
pal Church , being consecrated bishop
the following year. Since 1873 he has
lioon rector of St. Paul's Church , Chi
cago. The bishop has other theories
besides healing through Christian p = y-
choloiry. He believes that Christianity
is a good deal a matter of the kind of
food we eat. "If every child was
scientifically fed , " he says , "we'd have
no moral baseness , no mental deprav
ity and no spiritual ignorance. " His
system of Christian healing will be
followed with a good deal of interest.

PLANS FOR ESTABLISH
ING POSTAL BANKS
How Bills of Carter and Hitchcock -
cock Differ from Madden-
Snapp Measure.
DISPOSITION OF THE FUNDS.
Democrat Provides for Board of
Investment All Fix Deposit
Limit at $1,000.
Upon the indorsement by Postmaster
General Meyer and later by President
Roosevelt of the postal savings bank
system for the United States , three
separate and distinct plans have been
proposed to Congress as the proper pro
cedure for establishing and putting Into
operation such banks. In the House
of Representatives Representatives
Madden , of Chicago , and Snapp , of
.Toliet * . 111. , have introduced similar
measures. Representative llitchcock ,
of Omaha , a Democrat , has introduced
another House bill , and Senator Thom
as Carter , of Montana , is the father of
a senate bill. The main differences in
these bills lie In the protection afford
ed depositors and deposits and in the
investment features of the funds of the
postal savings banks.
All these bills place a limit on the
interest-bearing deposits which can bo
made by any individual within jiny sin
gle calendar year and finall } ' . The
Madden-Snapp bill provides that $300
may be deposited within one year and
that no interest shall be paid to any
depositor upon a deposit in excess of
$1,000. The Carter bill makes the lim
it of annual deposit $ r > 00 and the final
limit of interest-bearing deposit $1,000 ,
while the llitchcock bill has a double-
barreled provision which is more com
plex. It provides a limit of monthly
deposit of $100 and the final limit of
any single deposit at $1,000. In ad
dition it pros-ides that no interest shall
be paid on more than $ . " 500 to any de
positor and that If any depositor de
posit more than ? liOO in any one year
Interest shall not be paid on new de
posits in excess of that amount.
Both the Madden-Snapp and Carter
bills t provide an interest rate of 2 per
cent on deposits , while the llitchcock
.
bill stipulates that the rate on $200 or
less shall be 2 per cent , and over
that amount and up to $ oOO the rate
shall be fixed by a board of investment ,
composed of the Postmaster General ,
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Comptroller of the Currency.
In establishing postal savings bank
adjuncts to post ollices there is also a
difference between the Madden-Snapp
bill and the others. The Madden-Snapp
measure gives the Postmaster General
discretion in the selection of offices for
postal savings bank purposes ; the
Hitchcock bill is mandatory in that all
money order post ollices are made
branches of the postal savings bank
system , while the Carter bill makes all
first , second and third-class post of
fices branch postal savings banks and
gives the Postmaster General some dis
cretion as to further extension intc
the fourth-class post offices.
In administration the Maddcn-Snapp
bill provides a general superintendent
of postal savings banks , with such as
sistants and clerks as may be neces
sary , while the Secretary of the Treas
ury Is authorized to increase the audit
or's force in the Post Office Department
The sum of $50,000 is set aside to start
the banks in operation. Both the
Hitchcock and Carter bills stipulate
that the head of the postal banks shall
be an officer known to the Fifth As
sistant Postmaster General , and ask
8100,000 to establish the banks.
AVIiy Moru Hey Babies Die.
Dr. Francis Warner , senior physician
oC the London hospital , has drawn atten
tion to a curious sex problem. Taking
the ( births of 190-"i , he showed that o7 per
cent , were boys , yet the death rate of
boys j was so much higher than that of
jrirls that of .j-year-old children only 43
per cent were boys. Further statistics
= hewed that 27 per cent of boys , as com
pared with only 22 per cent of girls , died
in the first year. Dr. Warner attributed
the preponderance of females in England.
Jespite the more numerous birth of boys ,
to the fact that a much larger proportion
if males had the same physical defect. A
iiinute examination of thousands of chil
li-en showed that 9 per cent of boys were
Dhysically defective , as compared with 7
icr cent of jrirls. but taking the children's
nodical wards , where practically all were
physically defective , the mortality of de
tective sirls was higher than that of the
joys. Hence he deduced that while the
"omnlf sex apparently approaches closer
o normality than the male , yet when
lormalities are found equally in both , the
firls have less vitality , a fact which
atise.s a more rapid breakdown under an
iddod strain. It was also noted that
the male sex supplied a great rna-
iorit.of criminals , yet in murders coin-
tlicat ( d with lunacy women were in a
; mit majority.

The Signal Corps of the War Depart
ment has made public specifications for
the construction of a dirigible balloon
to be used in a series of tests at Fort
Myer next spring. Proposals for fur
nishing the balloon will be opened at
the department on Jan. lo next. The
balloon is to consist of a gas bag of
silk , to be covered with an aluminum
preparation. Th/ material for the bag
and the hydrogen with which it will be
inflated will be furnished by the gov
ernment. The dimensions and shap * of
the bag will be left to the bidders , f > x-
cept that the length must not exceed
120 feet. It must be designed to carry
two persons having a combined weight
of 330 pounds ; also at least 100 pounds
oi' ballast. A speed of twenty miles an
hour in still air is desired , and the
scheme of ascending , descending and
maintaining equilibrium must be based
on shifting weights , movable planes or
some method which will not necessi
tate balancing or changing of iwsition
by the aeronaut. The balloon must
have all the fittings necessary for suc
cessful and continuous Hights. It will
be accepted only after a trial iliglit to
be held at Fort .Myer next spring.

In a recent address at New York :
City Francis E. Lcupp , commissioner of
Indian affairs , took occasion to reply to
some of the criticisms that have been
made regarding the treatment of the
Indians by liis bureau. lie outlined
the present policy of the government as
that of absorbing the Indian into the
unite man's civilization , thus reversing
the old policy of assisting him in his
ardent desire of keeping as separate
from the white man as he possibly
could. lie expressed the opinion that
the final solution of the problem would
be reached by intermarriage. He de
scribed the success of the government
in making the Indian work ; even the
Utcs , he said , were now working on the
n.ilroads J and helping to build up the
country of which they were a part. The
commissioner said it was true that
about So per cent of the Indians that
went to Indian schools , such as Car
lisle and others , and went back to the
reservations sooner or later reverted to
the blanket. But their children started
away ahead of where their parents did.
so that the schooling was by no means
wasted.

An unusual view of the army has
lately been presented in a complaint
over the decrease in strength of the
coast artillery regiments. The Tenth
Company , for instance , which mustered
a hundred and one men in 10UO. was
able to get out only fourteen in the
ranks in October. The explanation of
fered is that the men in the coast artil
lery receive training in some branch of
mechanics , niid can get employment
outside at good wages. One officer in
structed his .company in the art of tel
ephone repairing , and made the men
so efficient that the telephone company
in the neighboring city offered them
sixty and seventy dollars a month , and
in some cases bought the discharge of
the men , so that they might begin work
before their enlistment expired. If the
army can train its men as effectively
as this , it ought to be a pretty good
school.
