THE TRUE SPORTSMAN.

The true the ideal. sportsman has no environ
lnent no centre Of distribution no accurately
defined geographic range He lives in BALKAN
or Belgravia. He is of the peerage or the pro-
letariat He is a general officer on the active
list or retired sergeant. He prescribes drugs
IN rural dispensary. he soothes malades
imagtnaires in his consulting room in Harley
street he breaches IN the village church or In
the cathedral. His hat hangs in the hall OF the
nfty thousand year or nothing. He rides a
cob or a thoroughbred; shoots with his grand
tather's hammer gun or with the newest OF
hammerles6 electors; fishes with hazel rod cut
at the waterSide with the latest thing In
split cane; sails the summer seas In a haIfrater
or In a Sunbeam SportsmanEhip, in short, is an
instinct, a birthright. not q commodity. Any
one may buy its Rppurtenances; no one can buy
Its temperament.
History, sacred and prOfane, furnishes many
types OF sportsman The earliest TO deserve the
name perhaps was one Samson, Of the tribe OF
Dan Against him. against other good men
and true, went an indiscriminate love OF the
ladies' all through his career but the unassertive
way in which he put forth his mighty strength
cannot fail TO win the admiration Of even those
who have not stood before his picture. toying
with helpless lion, in the Brighton Municipal
Museum. Here was man, by my fay! He killed
a lion and never even wrote book about IT, He
slew his enemies wholesale with a weapon
more formidable than the resisting grasses Of the
Holy Land. He burst his bonds with matter
OF fact that should make even the Hand
cuff King so green with envy. He toppleo
over the great building and died. blind and un-
repentant. with those who had brought out their
captive TO make them sport. They got it.-F @.

AN AGE OF MACHINERY.

In the making Of most OF our household goods
machinery has done away with the craftsman
True it is that some master mind plans the de-
sign in the first pattern that becomes the father
OF thousands. but II these things had been made
by human hands should have had not one,
but a thousand masters OF their trade, instead OF
one artist only and an army OF workmen doing
bread The whole system Is a premium on dull
ness and mediocrity. II may be argued that this
machinery more less makes for cheapness,
and on that account a man can become possessed
OF more goods than he would have had without
II; but mans life hardly consists In the abund-
ance Of things that he hath and II IL also quite
on the cards that a few good possessions are
worth a whole host OF bad
When we come 70 think that IN the making Of
almost everything we wear. almost everything In

chinery has had a hand 70 the oustng Of some
craftsman the enormity Of our wickedness be-
comes clear.-Reginald Newton Weekes, IN The

ToLsToY ON THE DRAMA

An artistic poetic work particularly drama
must first Of ali excite in the reader spectator
the illusion that whatever the person represent
ed is living through, experiencing, is lived
through or experienced by himself For this
purpose il is as important for the dramatist TO
know precisely what he should make his chRrac-
tiers both do and say what he should not
make them say do, as not to destroy the
Illusion OF the reader or spectator. Speeches
however eloquent and profound they may be
when nut into the mouth Of dramatic characters
if they be superhuous unnatural to the posi-
ion and character. destroy the chief condition
Of dramatic art-the Illusion owing TO which the
reader or spectator lives in the feelings Of the
persons represented Without putting an end
10 the illusion may leave much unsaid-
the reader or spectator Will himself fill this up
and sometimes, owing TO this his illusion Is
even Increased; but to say what is superhuous
is the same as TO overthrow a statue composed
Of separate pieces and thereby scatter them or
to take away the lamp from magic lantern:
The attention of the reader or spectator is dis
tracted the reader sees the author, the spec
tator sees the actor, the illusion disappears. and
to restore it is sometimes Observation-Disclosures
without the feeling Of measure there cannot be
an artist, and especially a dramatist-The
Fortnightly Review.

working and ready to turn his hand to anything
when comes in his way. to go to Canada. A
young man Of this kind may easily founder and
fail at home. In Canada he may do the same,
but the demand for unskiIled labor, with
chances Of obtaining knowledge which may have
commercial value, gives him greater prospect
OF success. The various agents in the big cities
give plenty Of assistance to the young man Of
this kind. But, I repeat. he must make himself
useful; IL he does not he is reckoned slow, and
people who are slow are not wanted In Canada.

A MASTERPIECE OF BYZANTINE ART.

The plan OF Santa Sophia is approximately a
square Of ESQ feet by 225, OF which the central
portion, 100 feet by 200, is open from the floor
TO the roof. The noble sense Of spaciousness
which is the prevailing impression here present

tude OF the proportions. but by the rhythmlcal
sequence and evolution OF the great unfolding
curves Of the vaulting. These rise in degrees

the dome does not appear to rest upon solid
foundation but to cover the place beneath as
though II were suspended from heaven by the

surprisingly Joined to one another in the air
suspended one from another. and resting only
