If aa atoS many people < an—you have only to 1* to France to make reasonably sure *f a fairly comfortable living, for you cuto approach the proper authorities in Par is and get yourself enrolled as an oSF dal “dog revealer." Absurd though it sounds, this newest profession of "barking" Is quite a se rious one, involving a considerable amount of hard work. The reason far Its existence Is this: The average Part- sian is very fond of dogs, but be to not so fond of the tax collector, the result being that a large number of dog own ers contrive to avoid paying the dog tax. The officials of the exchequer have engaged In a spirited campaigto to recover the money thus owed them, but have bumped up against the un pleasant truth that you must first tad your dog, then tax him. Accordingly they have employed a number of "men who can bark.” Every night the man la allotted a “beat.” which may comprise one or more streets. It la then his duty to stand outside each bouse on his beat and bark as naturally and as vigorously aa he can for aa long as five minutes if necessary. By the end of that time, the authorities calculate. If there is a dog luslde that house be will respond by barking also. The “dog revealer” thereupon writes the number of the bouse in bls official notebook, and the tax collector calls the next day. For this the man who barks receives £6 a mouth.—Pearson’s Weekly.
