1t Is interesting TO note that the legend
Of the petit chapeau'' still exists.
Frenchmen always refer to the headgear
Of the First Napoleon as "the little hat"
This Is because the hats worn by Bona
parte at Toulon, at Lodi, in Egypt dur
ing the famous eighteenth Brumaire. and
at Marengo were all quite small. When
the emperor became stouter he ordered
his halter to widen the brins of his head
dress so as to be more becoming. AS he
became fat and "potbellied," and as his
face became bigger and bigger, his hats
became broader and broader. For In

size OF the hat of Austerlitz. These facts
are recorded in the inventories of the

sharp discussion last Thursday at the
Institute of France. The late painter. ].

relic to the institute to be preserved in
the Conde museum at Chantilly. This
legacy excited the indignation of several
members of the institute. including Messrs.
Mezieres. Gruyer and Leopold de Lisle,
who petitioned that august body to re-
fuse the bequest. alleging that, as the
Chantilly museum was monument COM

issue, and, in accordance with the petition,
an extraordinary plenary session was held.
and after a vigorous debate among the
members of the five academies it was de-
cided by a vote Of forty-tWo to twenty
eight TO accept the legacy. Consequently.
the huge black felt tri-colored Napoleonic
hat, measuring nearly yard in width,

The assertion that a red-headed man
had never been President, was chal-
lenged, and a spirited controversy
arose as to the color Of the immortal
Thomas Jefferson's hair. Several MEM
bers of the company offered to wager
a goodly sum of money that the great
Democratic saint, jefferson, was red
headed. The money was posted on
both sides of the contention, and the
decision was to rest with a committee
of five gentlemen empowered to base
their verdict upon the famous oil por-
trait of Thomas Jefferson, by Stuart,
which hangs in the Red Parlor of the
White House.
Interest in the color of Judge Par
ker's hair suddenly languished and
the color of Thomas Jefferson's head
covering became question of $500.
The committee came to Washington,

to the Red Par1or from Secretary Loeb,
