ODD GUARDIANS.


Brooklyn Eagle.
The natives Of Venezuela and adjoining
countries on the north side OF the river
Amazon often avail themselves of the serv-
ices OF native crane TO care for their poul-
herd dogs. to guard and herd their domestic
animals. This remarkable bird, which the
Indians call yakamik, and the ornitholo-
gists Psophia crepitans, Is found in wild
state In the great forests which lie be-
tween the northern coasts of South Amer
lea and the Amazon river, particularly in
Venezuela and British Guiana. The birds
never leave the forests unless shot or cap
tured. They may be trusted with the care
OF a flock of sheep or domestic fowls, and
every morning will drive the ducks and
poultry TO their feeding places, and care
safely home at night. A yakamik soon
learns to know and obey the voice Of his
master, follows him, when permitted.

receiving his caresses.

A singular case of guardianship has just
been made known by NJ. Gadeau de Ker-
vile. 1t concerns the young Of the marine
fishes called false mackerel, which are al
most always found in company with the
large jelly fish known as rhizostomes. These
young fishes swim parallel with the long
axis of the jellyfish, and in the same direc-
tion as the latter. They remain above, be-
meath and behind the animal, but rarely
advance beyond it. 1t frequently happens
that some Of them introduce themselves
in to the cavities of the jellyfish and are
then visible from the exterior, owing 10
the transparency of the host. Sometimes
the school of fishes wanders few yards
away from the medussa, but at the least
harm imediately returns with great rapid
ity to occupy its former position. II is EVIL
dent that the jellyfish very efficaciously
protects the young fish by means of its
innumerable stinging capsules. This Is
demonstrated by the fact that when the
fishes become larger they no longer protect
themselves by accompanying the medusae

New York Letter.

Have you coat-of-arms? Then. to be en-
resle, as il were, you must have the same
tattooed on your dog. That's what the real
honest-Injun toffs OF New York are doing
now. The dogs. which are OF the short
haired species. fox terriers, bull terriers
and the like, wearing the taftooed coat-of-
arms on their sides, look disgusted and
foolish, but what's the use?
The tattooed dog wearing the family coat
of-arms indelibly needed into his side Is
the fad OF the Lour. and the likes and dis
likes of the dogs themselves are of course.

the eyes OF the world had been turned in

the cries Of these yellow slaves be heard

That the Syndicates mentioned

the Introduction of the bill referred

WHAT'S IN A NAME.

In conversation on this subject. a
friend OF the Signal casually remark
ed that very few of the 26 presidents
OF the United States had middle
names. An investigation shows
only six of the presidents elected
direct had more than one name
They are j. @. Adams, W. H. Har
rlson, j. K. Polk, U. s. Grant, j.
A. Garfield, R. B. Hays land the same
popularity can be observed AMONG
our leading statesmen. So, in nam
ing the boys, it will be to their future
interest, in the calculation of probab-
illtles, to remember that their chances
to become president are as 6 is to
~ in favor of only one name.
