THE BIRD FAKIR.

Levi P. Morton is the president of the New York Geological society, and has a knowledge of natural history that would not be contemptible in a naturalist.
 MT. Morton was talking one day on the various cheats who try to impose on zoos" and on private collectors with fakes of all kinds.
 Even birds" said MT. Morton. will be faked. Yes, even birds. With var ious paints and dys stuffs and a pair of sharp scissors, one of these men will turn a sparrow into almost any thing you can mention.
 He smiled.
 "A keeper of birds in a zoo he said, "once told me of a conversation that he overheard in the bird house between two men from whom he occasionally bought stock.
 ITO think O swindlin' a poor, hard working chap like that'.' he said.

DIDN'T HELP HIS CASE.

Pat was ordinarily a good sort of a citizen. but occasionally he would stray from the straight and narrow path, and during these diversions along the broader way where the water wagon rarely ran, he found en- thusing ingredients which stirred his soul into incr redulity.
 One day he became unusually am bilious, and in the melee that followed one Deacemaker went over the tree tops and another just escaped having his autograph. beautifully and senli- mentally carved on a snow white tombstone.
 Consequently, Pat got a personally conducted tour in the patrol wagon, and upon being haIed into court was tried and convicted of attempting to de- prive two worthy citizens of the right of franchise at all future elections.
 Prisoner at the bar, stand up," or dered the judge, when the finding of the jury had ben announced.
 All right, yer honor" said Pat, as suming a perpendicular position.
 Prisoner at the bar" continued the the judge, have you anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be passed upon yOu?"
 "No, yer honor" was the startling reply, but is's mesiIf that hopes yer hearrut will be as soft as yer head."- Philadelphia Telegraph

The AscriptIon to the Mikado.

Admiral Togo probably didn't expect to create a sensation throughout the western world when he began his re- port to the mikado of the victory of the Sea of Japan with the words: That we gained a success beyond our expectations is due to the brilliant virtue of your majesty and to the pro- tection of the spirits of your imperial ancestors, and not to the action of any human being" Every Japanese com mander reporting a victory, since the war began, has said pretty much the same thing in one form of words or another, and it has been no uncommon thing for Christian commanders to ex- press the same thought in terms mod flied from those employed by the Jap anese commanders only by the differ ence between their religious belief and the religious belief of the Japa- nese.
 Still TOgo's words attracted almost as much attention and called forth all most as much comment as Togo's vic tory. Much of this comment was fun ny III AtS IcNGldtlOIl OL lIle COlIllIl0iilc- tors utter inability to arrive at the Japanese admiral's point of view. Be cause 1t would be an extraordinary thing for an American admiral to as- cribe a naval victory in his official re- port to the brilliant virtue of Presi- cent Roosevelt and to the protection of the spirits of President Roosevelt's distinguished ancestors" it was as- sumed that Admiral Togo had done an extraordinary thing, demanding far fetched and long -winded explanation. IL is hardly necessary to say that this assumption was entirely unwarranted. Though American admirals and Jap anese admiraIs are fellow profession als. doing the same work by the same methods they differ one from the oth- CT in a good many very important particulars.
 The Review of Reviews, summing up the discussion, after it's manner. "sets us all right" with perhaps the most amazing explanation of the lot. Its remarkable idea is that Togo meant literally just what he said and that he was quite correct in ascribing his brilliant victory to the brilliant

virtue of the mikadO, because the
 mikado is certainly a man of the most
 remarkable mental and moral qualities
 and. beyond a doubt, one of the great
 est rulers in history
 The real explanation of Togo's ascription is this: The ancient, fun damental religion of Japan, coloring and modifying all Japanese life and development in every department of thought and activity, is ancestor-wor- ship; the mikado, to the Japanese mind, isn't a man at all, but a sort of underlying religious corporation, in which are combined all the virtues and all the powers of his own impe- rial ancestors and of everybody's else's ancestors-he is, in a phrase, the vis- ible embodiment of the soul of Japan; Togos phrase was a usual formality, more or less perfunctory. according to the sincerity of Togo's belief in the old national faith. The Review of Re views says: The attitude of mind which could write that sentence is in scrutabIe to us of the occident." It oughtn't to be-eXcept that it is hard to see how an attitude of mind could write anything at all The spirit that moved Togo to ascribe his victory to the mikado was exactly the same spir- it that ordinarily moves Christion mill itary and naval commanders to ascribe signal victories to the agency of their Deitv
