Pet Dogs Are TattOocI.

A decidedly novel occupation which
has Of late been noticed is that Of tat.
tOoins the names of their owners upon
dogs. Several months ago there appear.
ed In northwest Baltimore young
man who Ia engaged In that pursuit and
during the time he remained here did
good business. Among the dogs
which underwent the operation Is a
pretty little fox terrier belonging to
Charles +, Wohrna, which rejoices In
the name Of Booze. and fine bred
bull terrier. Jip, the property Of the
Chesapeake Brewing Company. Both
animals bear upon their breasts, where
the hair grows thlnnest, the names of
their respective owners.
Contrary to the belief of some that
the operation Is a cruel. painful one,
those who have seen II performed de-
clare that the animals apparently expe.
rienced very little pain. The operation
last about ID minutes. The animal Is
usually held by two men, one having
hold Of the hind legs while the other
holds the front paws. With a set of
very fine needles the operator then
goes to work, deftly pricking the let
tiers into the skin, just deep enough to
draw few drops of blood. Then he
pours the Indian ink all over the
wounds, or, rather, scratches, and the
operation Ia over. In few weeks the
sores are completely healed and the

little she Is. Now, madame, permit me-"
There was seat in the back, which
we reached by climbing over the front
bench, assisted by the driver. There we
were well sheltered from the driving wind
and rain. with our feet resting upon a
sack of potatoes. and the two strange
figures Of the Norman peasant in his
blouse and white cotton cap. and the
cure In his hat and cassock, filling up the
front of the car before us.
"They are not Frcnchwomen. Monsieur

short pause.
"No. no. my good jean" was the cures
answer; "by their tongue ! should say
