detail. we may shy that Mr.. Whites investiga-
lions have led him to the conclusion that
Shakespeare. tho actor and manager. had
nothing to do with tho composition OF tho
plays that pass under his name except to pay
for It; that Bacon began the series by writing
~Hamlet" and was afterward employed to
revise those which Shakespeare bought OF
other playwrights. The pertinence Of tho
titls. "Our English Homer" is defended on
Tho following grounds: Tho old.fashoned
idea OF Homer. blind beggar unable to read
or write. who. impelled by n divine inspira-
ton. wandered through the cities OF Asiatic
Greece. chanting tho epic which delights the
world. has long since been abandoned by class
zeal scholars; 80 that unless Shakespeare be
the sole example. tho history Of mankind
affords no instance Of n man devoid Of educa-
ton producing a literary work OF the highest
excellence. This is however. what We are re-
Quired to believe In the case OF Shakespeare.

cANADA,s HUNTING eRooNp.


Game Dear 20 the Sportsman.
The shooting in the valleys of Brit
ish Columbia is most alluring to those
who are fond of the sport. Caribou,
deer, bear, prairie chicken and part
RIGGS abound in them. In all prob
ability there is no similar extent of
country that equals the valley of the
Columbia, from which, in the winter
of 1888, between six and eight tons
of deerskins were shipped by local
traders, the result of legitimate hunt
ing. But the forests and the noun
tains are as they were when the
white man first saw them, and though
the beaver and the sea otter, the mar
ten and those foxes whose furs are
coveted by the rich, are not as album
dant as they once were, the rest of the
game is most plentiful.
On the Rockies and ON the Coast
range the mountain goat, most diff
cult of beasts 20 hunt and still harder
to get, IS abundant yet. The ssbig
horn, or mountain sheep, is not so
common, but the hunting thereof is
usually successful if good guides are
obtained. The cougar, the grizzly
and the lynx are all plentiful, and
black and brown bears are very nu-
merous. Elk are going the way of
the big horn'-are preceding that
creature. in fact. Pheasants import
ed, grouse, quail and water fowl are
among the feathered game, and the
river and lake fishing is such as is
not approached in any other part Of
the dominion.
The province is a sportsman's Eden.
but the hunting of big game there is
not a venture to be lightly under
taken 1t Is not alone the distance or
the cost that gives one pause, for
after the province is reached the
mountain climbing is task that no

these are genuine mountains, by the
way, wearing eternal caps of snow.
and equally eternal deceit as to their
distances, their heights, and as to all
else concerning which a rarefied at
mosphere can hocus pocus stranger.
There is one animal, king of all the
beasts, which the most unaspirine
hunter may chance upon as well as
the brayest, and that animal carries
a perpetual chip upon its shoulder
and seldom tarns from an encounter.
1t is the grizzly bear. It is his pres
ence that gives you either zest or

all the others that roam the noun
