Ibrahim the Ingenious.

Tbrahim, whose dusty history d.
Hester Donaldson jenkins OF Columbia
university has related In monograph.
entitled "Ibrahim Pasha, Grand vizier
Of Suleiman the Magnificent" was a
Ichild OF destiny.
BY birth a Greek. he rose from the
estate Of a slave to a position second
only to that of the sultan himself, and
the secret Of his swift rise tt power Is
subtiy indicated by an isolated instance
Of his c~leverness In playing upon his
masters vanity. Soon after Suleiman's
marriage the young sultan is said to
have asked his grand vizier which of
the two ceremonies was the finer, his
own or Ibrahim's.
There never has been a feast equal
to my wedding" Ibrahim replied
'TWhyT" asked the sultan, somewhat
offended.
"Oh, my padishah," said Ibrahim.
with intense modesty, "my wedding
was honored by the presence of Sulei-
man. lord Of the age, firm rampant Of
Islam, possessor Of Mecca, lord of Da-
mascus and Egypt, ealiph Of the lofty
threshold and lord of the residence Of
the Pleiades, but TO your festival who
was there of equally exalted rank who
might conner"

oas Divided by . Hall.

II you ask the man In the street tn
simple question, What is one divided
by a half? he will either reply that tho
operation Is an impossible one or that
the answer is a half. When you point
put that one divided by two Is a half
ne will see that there Is something
wrong somewhere, but will still be
quite unable TO give the right answer.
When you tell him that the answer 10
two he will either accept the assertion
without understanding it or will dis
pute it tooth and nail. If you attempt
TO convince him of his error you win
ind 1t is not at all an easy task. His
mistake arises through the confound-
ing of two distinct ideas-namely. one
divided into two and one divided by
two. One divided into two is n d.
yided into two parts, each part con-
tanning a half. One divided by two is
the ratio of to two or the number
Of times two Is contained In one. To
any one who has thought the matter
out this seems clear enough, but to the
mar In the street it is sheer nonsense,
and he will tell you so.-Exchange.

The Doa's Day.

Luckily for the human race, though
styles come and go, mankind itself new
er goes out of fashion. Dogs are not
so lucky. Every age has its prefer
ence for a particular breed of canine
beauty. The greyhound. with his light.
sketchy outlines, was In high favor
during the reign of Louis HI, and
the Great Dane, that had previously
been the fashion, declined into a period
Of nobody loves me-" Danes became
scarce and greyhounds plenty. But IN
der Louis XIV. the Dane 'came back"
and multiplied again. The kings dog
wore a collar of gold set with dia-
monds. Following this. the Scotch ter
rier had his turn. Then the greyhound
came back in favor. Charles VIII,

dogs so well that the dogs slept in the

EiffeI Towers Changes.

That the Effel tower moves daily
pertically and horizontally has long
been beyond doubt. 1t may be e in
q gale swaying from side to side. NJ
Guillaume has been investigating these
movements and has given the results
In a paper read before the Academy OF
Science. He finds that the great iron
structure may vary from two to three
eentimeters In height every day. The
elevation and depression are not equal
ly distributed, as only one of its sides
may be affected by the rise or fall Of
the temperature. and thus the tower
may be compared to a person shifting
bis weight alternately from m foot
to another. If q cloud covers the tower
and hides the sun the temperature
falls u few degrees and the tower di-
minishes, and when the sun shines
again it rapidly rises a centimeter or
two. But the bolts holding the frame
together are affected only to an in
initesimal degree. Therefore there is
no danger of any violent dislocation.-

Aiqhest and Lowest State.

Almost everybody knows which Is
the smallest and which Is the largest
state in the Union, but how many
know which Is the lowest and which
Is the highest? According to the meas
urements and calculations made by
the United States geological survey,
Delaware is the lowest state. its eleva-
ton above sea level averaging only
sixty feet. Colorado is the highest, av-
eraging $500 feet above the sea, while
Wyoming Is a close second, only 100
feet lower than Colorado. In minimum
elevation Florida and Louisiana dis
pute second place after Delaware, their
average elevation being, for each. 100
feet. Taking the United States as a
whole, our country lies Slightly above
the average elevation Of the land Of
the globe.-New York Press.

Why He Was Brusque.

When Daniel Webster was secretary
Of state he visited England, and while
In London the American minister took
him to call upon Lord Brougham.
They found the nobleman Immersed
In business, and his reception Of the
distinguished American was exceed
ingly brusque and Indifferent. The
minister was naturally very much
mortified. and, asking Webster to ex-
cuse him a moment, he drew Lord
Brougham aside, when the following
whispered conversation ensued:
my lord, do you know who Mr..
Webster is? He is secretary of state
Of the United States"
