The North American Review for August is an unusually good number. Wong Chin I I oo’s paper, “Why lam a Heathen,” will piobably be read by every person who takes up the magazine. The writer, after some years spent in this country, has no doubt of the wisdom of still remaining among the heathen. “The only positive point, he says, “Christians have impressed on heathenism is that they would sacri iiee religion, honor, principle, as they do life for—gold,” anti he concludes with an earnest and calinti invitation to the Christians of America to join him in follow ing Confucius.

The Magazine of American History for August comes to the front, as usual, with charming and instructive articles. The leading pnpei-s will attract all readers, irrespective of historic or antiquarian tastes.

Front the Chicago Herald. A handsome cab went westward on Madi son street at a breakneck speed shortly be fore 9 o’clock last night. In full pur suit were a hundred or more excited and perspiring men and women yelling “Police” and “Stop them” at the top of their voices. From the interior of the vehicle the screams of a child, varied with the cries of “Police man, help me,” “He’ll murder me,” could be heard a block away. As the cries be came more pitiful in tone and the shouts of the pursuers increased in volume the cab man stoo lup iu his seat and mercilessly Inshed the almost exhausted beast. Officer McQuade, of the Harrison street detail, was standing on the viaduct as the vehicle ap proached, and. hearing the cries, shouted to the cabman to puli up. At the same ino m°nt he sprang into the roadway and seized the reins, but tlio driver made no effort to check the iqteed, and after lieing drugged several yards at imminent danger to limb, it not to life, the officer was compelled to l-o cn his hold. The cabman turned south on Canal street toward the Union depot, but hern a block of vehicles compelled.him to lessen his speed, and McQuade, who had been following close In-hind, was enabled to again catch the lines, and this time to bring the animal to a standstill. A couple of mo ments later tlio vehicle was returning to the South Side at a more leisurely pace, with the crowd, which met on the bridge, still in pursuit. This exciting scene was the sequel to a sensational episode which had occurred in the centre of the city a quarter of an hour before. Little Ida Mclntyre, bettor known as the Princess Ida, the Tti-year-old 20-inch midget, who appeared at the .South and West Side museums a couple of weeks ago, has, with her mother, been stopping tempo rarily with Mrs. Engle, at 151 East Wash ington street. Their permanent home is in Kenosha. Wis., where they reside with the parents of Mrs. Mclntyre, who has. been separated from her husband for some time. About 8:30 “Princess. Ida” was sitting on the steps of 151 talking with 12-yenr-old Ida Engle, when n slitn. neatly dressed man. with a straw Imt pulled well down over his forehead, crossed the street with hurried stops, and without a word seized thomidget iu nis arms and started on the run toward LaSalle street. For a moment both of the girls were deprived of the tower of utter ance. The midget was the first to recover her lung power, and she commenced to cii ioi at the top of her voice, while the Engle girl, who was following close behind, jellied in the chorus. At La Halit' and Madison streets the matt, who was in reality the midget's father, jumped into a hansom which had evidently been in waiting nisi ordered the driver to hurry to tlio Union del sit Mv this time a crowd of some fifty neon).' had been attach'd by the cries, and, headed by the almost hysterical Engle girl they gave chase to the vehicle, which tuned west on Madison, at the same time howling to the cabman to stop. By the time hifth avenue was reached the crowd had doubled, and cries of “Lynch him!” induced the cab man to pull up short. A west-bound street car was standing at the corner, anil while I he crowd was upon the pavement the man, with the child in his arms, sprang out on the other side and took a si'at on th plat form in the rear of the driver. The crowd, however, discovered his stratagem in the twinkling "1 mi eye, and in less time than it takes to toll the story a couple of stalwart men had curried him liodily off the ear and deposited him on the sidewalk. Here Mr Iritvre and his fragile burden were tiuu-klv surrounded and shouts of “Police - were raised.

Canoeing as a sport for women, why not? The canoe appeals to the aesthetic sensibili ties; it is the most beautiful crafUafloat. The canoe is adapted to the timid sex; it is the safest boat that, ever took water. The canoe is suited to the less muscular half of humanity: paddling is not. fatiguing. The canoe gratifies the social instinct; canoeists arc always good fellows, aud there is not a single “professional” in the ranks of the fraternity. The canoe has regard to teininine curiosity—thong!) this mental virtue is of both sexes, arid on the water you call it interest in the scenery—it goes frankly ahead instead of blindly backing up like a rowboat against the point of destination. The canoe, to any body, man or woman, who cures for the water, gives ltiore enjoyment to the square inch than any steaming or rowing or sailing craft de vised. The canoe is the ideal small boat. To own one is to adopt it into your family and to feel for it the affection that one bestows on a living thing. Its graceful lines and the polished wood of its iinish tempt a caress. Its shell is so thin that, sitting on your cushion in its bottom, yon fool every pulse of every wave, and canoeist and canoe almost become parts of the same organism. Nothing else that floats gives the same sense of oneness with the boat. A woman is perpetually tempted to take the long double paddle home and hang it on her parlor wall for bric-a-brac. It is the prettiest thing in the mechanical line mado and should never waste its sweetness in a boat house. The modern canoe is an entirely praetica We thing for a woman to handle. To lit it completely to iter use requires but few changes, and those readily made. As de fined by the rules of the American Canoe Association, the canoe is a boat sharp at l-oth ends, not more than thirty-six inches wide on deck and propelled by paddle or sails, but capable of being propelled efti ciently by a double bladed paddle. The canoe is in shape not unlike the birch,but is cleaner and more complex in its lines. The open canoe for still water uso is the lightest of cedar shells. Tile decked canoe may be long and narrow for a paddling racer, or shorter anti wider for a sailing racer, but for all around cruising use, aud this com prises tlio great majority of all canoes built, it will not vary greatly from fourteen l'eet in length by thirty inches width. Twenty four inches and thirty-three inches are tit actual use extremes of which tho width given is the* mean. Such a canoe carries a centre board or not according to the work for which site is designed. She has a well or cockpit for her solitary passenger, who is skipper and crew in one, which tired to be three feet, but is now commonly five feet Long by eighteen or twenty inches wide. She has steering gear connected witli the rudder linos under the fore deck just, where the foc-t manipulate it conveniently, and also for hand use on the deck in case whore the crew is also ballast hanging by his toes out to windward in a breeze. The canoe has two masts and carries a cloud of canvas or none at all, according to the breeze and the sailor's whim. She is never fitted with seats, but the skipper composes himself on a cushion, leaning against a swinging back board that is tho perfection of ease. In ease the waves show any disposition to play practical jokes uoon him lie adjusts the hatches, with which the cockpit is provided as watersheds about him, and doesn’t ship a toaeiwful where an open 1 x.at, might cap size. The Rob Roy—Macgregor’s lioat m which he made his famous Norway and Palestine voyages —was the earliest of mod em canoe models and was quickly f< -llowed and improved upon by the American Traveling Canoe, the Stella Maris, the Princess, the Grayling, the Mohican and scores more. The Snake, the Vesper, the Sunbeam and the Pocowsic have been among recent successes, but it is impossible to par ticularize lor every year since 1880 has marked an era in canoe building in this country, and American canoes arc the bed, made. The Shadow, the lines of which were taken front the original boat of that name used by W. L. Alden, formerly of the New York Times, now Consul General to Italy, was one of the earlier models used, and for general use under sail and paddle both lias hardly lieeu surpassed since. So much for what the canoe has been and is. To accommodate it to feminine use tho open canoe needs no changes whatever. There is a light canoe called the “bucktail,” which weighs but ten pounds, and to- send which skimming over the water requires barely more than the strength of a lfi-year old child The bucktail is not a salt water boat, but on inland rivers is perfectly trust worthy. It lias floated a trapper with his luggage through the lakes of the Adiron dacits, anil will take a girl fond of out of-door living in three and u half inches of water close under tlio green bank wiiere tlio birds nest and tiie ferns grow toll. Under the name of the Nessmuk a similar canoe is built a little stiffer to weigh 20 i-i-uiids. For a decked canoe which a woman may use in any water that she is over Jikelv to find herself afloat upon one of the 1-est known of the canoe builders has a model which he calls the Daisy, and which is in tended to- meet tho demand which is gradually arising for canoes for women to use. The Daisy is a foot shorter than the average canoe; that is it, is 13 feet in length and light and manageable in proportion. It is a graceful boat and deserves its nume. Anywhere in tide water regions, or where big waves ore included in tlio order of the day, a usual modification of tho canoe, es pecially when husband and wife have a fancy for cruising together, is to- lengthen it one foot or two, put in a seven-foot cock pit and convert it into a tandem. In a tandem canoe tho woman sits forward. If she is not a sailor, qr it suits him to do all the work, she faces the skipper, and—this, of course applies largely to the unmarried —looks into his eyes* If tht> two share their tal-or as wtfllas their plhy, the woman faces front, to the sharing, per haps, anil handles a puddle with wliut zeal she may. But- verybody says the 'canoe is cranky, unlit fora man, to ray nothing of a woman, to enter. This is'azcase where-every I <ody is mistaken. Everybody, iu fart, knows noth ing als-iit it. (zat)DuJ* fronjjfto common sens- point of view. The canoe is ballasted low. Its passengers sit on the l-ottoin. Its centre of gravity is so placed that, it is next to imi-ossible for it to capsize. Properly handled it will ride out a heavy blow on i-ig waters. But canoes do capsize. Yes, ami one always hears of it, to si. That is because regattas are nls-ut tho only canoeing events ever reported, und in canoe races it has i-o --oome trie fashion to carry sails twice os large as boats of that size were ever meant tostaml up under. The racer abandons his secure position and sits on the dock. He enjoys himself and when he tips over he doesn’t drown. Any decently built, canoe has two oil -tight compartments which will support from s -venty to one huiuln-d pounds dead weight, Mint means they would float the crew it the canoe itself were broken up. A bicycle dub ought to have a surgeon m ordinary at tached to its staff of officers. A flotilla of cutls-ats could support a cemetery. But the canoe is a safe bout. Mr. John Hab berton once wrote that lie hud taken “rea sonably valuable” members of Ins family, meaning his wife and small Imy, out on the waters al-out Staten Island in a canoe when the old sailors shook their heads at him and said Die wind was rising. They came back safe, however. Canoeing is not ft violent exercise. One misses tiie silpport of the rowlock which gives power to- t he oar at first, .but the lit tle knack that goes to handling the new imple ment once mastered, it is easier than row ing and can be kept up more hours without fatigue. For a woman it is especially l-cne fleiai. Rowing develops the muscles of the back and sometimes dwurfs those of the front of the chest. Poddhug gives one an erect carriage, shoulders thrown healthfully back. It is hotter than any tonic for the lungs, expanding them gener ously, and ought to give one a well rounded arm. B'l-o 1 ’• - weer r-’-" ■i"- * A’lV thing short, loose and comfortable, prettv if you have a mind. Wives of canoe club men get material to match the club uniform sometimes. Otherwise flannel goods of any variety can be made serviceable and pic turesque. Do women like canoeing? Not many have tried it yet, but most of those who have do. At the annual meets at Camp Grindstone, Thousand Isliuids, there has been a "Squaw Point” for some years buck and will doubt less be at the Lake Champlain meet this year. To see Mrs. Newman, wife of Com modore Newman, of tho Brooklyn Club, spinning along under sail on the St. Ltw renoe in her husband’s tandem, he lying out to windward with his shoulders almost in the water, you might suppose that she en : joyed it. Ex-Commodore Fowler, ol the j Knickerl-ocker Club, New York, lakes his wife on cruises and Miss Seavey, daughter of another member, lias had a canoe built, for especial use on the St. Lawrence. Women like it, and ns the out-of-door fever among women spreads they will like it better. Eliza Putnam Heaton. A MANIAC CAPTAIN. Tho Thrilling Adventures of the Crew of the Ship Anna. From the Philadelphia News, The crew of the German ship Anna, which arrived at the Delaware Breakwater yester day, tell a terrible story of their experience at sea. The vessel left, Bremerhaven the latter part of Juno with a crew of eight persons. Tiie captain was unwell from tho start, and grew gradually worse as flic voyage progressed. First Mate Werner, who was actually in charge of tho vessel, tells tho fol lowing story • “Our captain complained of pains in the bowels, and his sufferings kept him iu a hiul temper. He slept but little anil ate nothing, and during Ins excitable moods he kept the men moving about in a very lively manner. On June 23 he became worse, and we treated him with external applications to remove the poignant pain in his stomach. In the evening he improved after hiking a dose of laudanum. Next day he had relapsed into his previous condition and lie walked the deck constantly as he lamented the imaginary loss of some of his sailors whom lie thought had been drowned. Ho seemed afraid that I would filter his case upon the ship’s journal and re peatedly asked mo to say nothing of his sickness. The next day ii stiff gale set in and the captain, who was much improved ordered t.he furling of certain sails. He ap peared perfectly rational at this time and gave the orders in a correct manner, but he soon after developed unmistabablo signs of insanity. He asked me what the crew were doing on the quarter-dock, and when I told him there was no one there he said: “You're a liar. I just heard them say they were going to throw mo overboard.” To pacify him I summoned the crew and each man * assured the captain that they had made no much threat, and that they bad no grudge against him. Tho men went back to their places and we tired to- our bunks. About 10 o'clock I was awakened by the re port of a pistol, and, rushing on deck, found that our insane commander had fired at George Decker, a hoy who iNilongod to the crew. 1 ran to the captain’s cabin, only to lie confronted by a pistol and informed that if I attempted to enter he would put a ball through my heart. The cabin was filled with smoke and flames had started near the lounge, uj-on which the Captain had thrown himself. I summoned the crow and wo started to battle with tho flames, which had made alarming headway While the sailoi-s were extinguishing the lire I turned my attention to the captain, who was mashing the glassware anil furniture. He had the revolver in his hand, and I cautiously approached him from the rear and threw Inin to the floor. He fired the pistol at me twice during the struggle, und finally broke away and ran on deck. “That was the last we saw of onr unfor tunate captain, although we searched thor oughly. The next morning we found 1-loodv linger marks on the Vail, anil we concluded that ho had jumped’ into the ocean.” The crew, in addition to- First Mato Wer ner und the boy Decker, included Robert Davis, second mate; W. Bander, J. Graf, R. Reemer and Franz Baum. Strange Story of a Dog. Prom the Pensacola (Fla.) Commercial. It was iu the days of stage coaches and lie fore the advent of railroads in the western country. A large Newfoundland dog en tered the village tavern one cold morning iu Doccmlier, and placing himself comforta bly before the fire’ in the (Mil-lie room, ma le himself at home. The landlord made n v oral attempts to drive hint away, but Carlo wagged such strange appeals that ho was permitted to remain. As no owner ever appeared to claim him, tiie dog was soon established as one of the household. In the absence of tho landlord he watched the bar and the office, and gave warning when any one entered. Curio hud several peculiarities; when he first came to the vil lage he was a regular attendant at the Bap tist church. When the bell rang for ser vice he would march with stately tread to the church and place himself before the pulpit, and there remain quietly, an atten tive worshiper, until the benediction was pronounced. Ho went as regularly to prayer-meeting as to preaching, never fail ing to know the call of the church l-ell. ( - ar!o’s other peculiarity was that he wa - a Republican. He was always present at the primaries, tho mass meetings and the conventions of the party. He was among tho loudest in his demonstrations of ap plause, when applause was proper; he was among the most enthusiastic of the au .i --ence. But a change came over the spirit of Carlo’s dream. He, ceased his devotions at the Baptist and Income a devout, and con sistent worshipper at the Methodist church. He changed his politics, also, and forsaking tiie Republicans, lie became an ardent Democrat. Ho was never missed from the Democratic gatherings. This strange conduct of Carlo was tho talk of the village, and many a traveler was entertained with the story of this won derfully intelligent, dog. But suddenly Carlo quit his accustomed haunts. He was seldom seen on the hearth of tho great fire place in tlio public room, and ho was missed iron) the church. It was evident to the mind* of the pious |>°-pie that lie had become a backslider. One- day, however, Carlo mq-eared at the village drug (More. Hero his actions were as unac countable as had 1-oen Ids former church-going propensities. He put his paws upon the counter and barked nt the druggist vociferously. The druggist remembered that Carlo’s master lmd been reported with a severe attack of catarrh, and knowing the intelligence of the dog concluded that he had either been sent or had come of his own notion to- get sdine thing to relieve his master; tlio druggist tied al-out Carlo’s neck a j-ackage of Hall's catarrh cure, then the dog start's! home in great glee.

Ho is a man of staid habits and quiet, re tiring manner, much respected avid of groat credit to the city. Nobody will ever believe that be had ever defended himself from the six-shooters in a rough mining camp or hold his mine against the agony of desperadoes, with Henry rifles: but lie has. \\'e drew him out the other day and he told adven tures that would make your hair stand on eml and would HU a book. Yos, lie said, Piocho was a rough place in those days. There was a man there named liillv Killing. lie was a pretty bad lot., but he did not much fear the law. He came back from an excursion once, mid it soon became known what it was. 1 was passing his saloon and lie asked me in to take a drink* l went. Ho turned ton thill, consumptive, limp-looking individual who wus support ing himself against the bar. “Colonel, let me introduce you to this gentleman. He’s a friend of mine. He helped me to rob them Mormons the other day.” The fellow got into the clutches of the law once, and his lawyer made a strong tight, for him. It was no good. He had to go to state prison. “Tom,” said the lawyer, with tears in his eyes, “Tom would have got off all right but tor one tiling. There was only one iittiv bit of,trouble against Tom. If it hadn’t been (i>r that little lilt of weakness in him, you know." Tom’s little weakness was that ho had killed seventeen men at different times. But those fellows were plucky. It is no use and -uytuif tliilt. They were plucky. Ray mond iV Ely had a property there, and one day lie found 1 a gang had jumped it, and they held it with rifles. It. was no use talking about law. Law couldn’t have brought them out in two veal's and they’d have cleaned the mine out in that time. So lie compromised with them. They were to have all they could take out in Bflrty ilavs and then give up the mine. They kept their word about giving up the mine, lint, they put another gang in before Raymond could get there. There was a rival crowd, of course, and the head of it was a fellow named Biliv. Richmond wont and inter viewed Billy. Tito property was close to the mine, arid a day or two after we heard tiring up in that direction. We got out to see tile fun. The gang in possession had ilia:o a barricade of gunny racks filled with ore, and were shooting with Henry rifles, witli the barrels resting on the barri cade. Presently Billy came out from lie hind a tree and made, with lively bounds, for the barricade. Bang! wont the rifles. Billy kept right on till he come close up. He had a six-shooter ill each hand. With one jump he landed on top of the barricade and liegnn firing right and left, down. lie fore the men knew what was going on four of them were laid out Hnd tho rest took to their heels and Raymond hud his mine again. I once had an experience myself with Billy that was funny. Hilly was powerful with tlie boys. We had an electiou and they put up a district judge who was com mitted to a public statement that there was only one ledge in the camp. That would liavo settled me, for I believed there were two, and I had to !>eat him. I was putting up a good dead of money for the campaign, and a night or two before the election I found out that they liud put up a job to get bold of the money by calling u quiet meeting to appoint a committee. I went to Billy. “Billy,” said 1, “they’re try ing to rob mo. Now I want you to come to this meeting. When the proposition is made i’ll make a few remarks against it, and then you get up and make a good lively speech to tho boys. So we went, and when the mo tion was made I got up mid made a quiet little argument against it and sat down. 1 hadn’t more than touched my seat when Billy, with a revolver in each hand, jumped upon the table, and yelled, “(let out of this, vou . f let out ” and lie began tiring. Tiie motion was never put, for there wasn’t a man in sight when we got outside. They adjourned sine <lie during Billy’s sjiooch.
