M. Fallieres was, until recently, be.
lieved to be the only president of tie
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C.
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-

measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels overioyed at being
saluted on all sides.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At q recent convention of German
Of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape Of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back OF its head. in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head is developed. But If the medium
shaped head of child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg. for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
The side a long head Is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had short head, now after AS
months it is long skulled. II the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its. head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
bead was inherited, but asserted that
1t could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, SO do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, gave up coffee and all
