good as a watchdog. One day the
faker made pie for dinner and left

for the monkey. II raised the crust
and tasted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty. it ate more and more
until nothing but the crust remained.
Then It remembered its master. who
would shortly return hungry and ready
to enjoy his meal. What was to be
done? The sharp eyes OF The monkey
detected some crows not far away. so

crow came along and peckcd at the
monkey. which seized the bird in
twinkling. strangled it. stripped OFF the
feathers. placed It in pieces in the

The TOP Hat.

Tall hats. "pcarlin up Xix" the spire
of a Stceple II quarter of II YARD above
the croWnc." as IL sixteenth century
writer describes them, were known III
the time of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beavers of our
great grandfat hers days. Top hats of
silk appeared first in Florence about
1850. and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England. About $50 the French SILK
hat was placed on the market and ut
once adopted in the familiar "chilnney
pot" shape. There were several varl-
cites of it. such rs the Wellington NAT.
with the yeoman crown; the AnGl"S"a
hat. bell shaped ut the top. and the
D'Orsay hat. with ribbed silk binding
and biz bow. The color also varied.
Thus the Earl of Harrington started II
craze for green top hats by wearing
one In his garden with the idea OF not
Frightening the birds. He also tested
his silk hats by standing upon them.
The top hat. however. was never so
favored by any great parsonage as to
account for its general adoption.-Lon-

at profit is a plan adopted by the
common council of Bayonne. N. J.
