BATHS OF MILK.
PARIS RESIDENTS UNEASY. (BT CABLE—PBE6B ASSOCIATION— COgTBMST.' (Stbitbt "Sun" Sravrcz.) LONDON, April 25. The Paris correspondent of the "Weekly Dispatch" states that the Prefect of the Police is investigating fashion's latest craze. A famoas beauty specialist, whose prescriptions and recipes were borrowed from the records of ancient Home, recommended* aif equally-famous millionaire dancer to take milk baths, resulting in a farmer daily delivering 200 quarts at the dancer's house, in the Etoilo quarter, where the milk was heated by electricity, and emptied into a bath. The farmer later returned and collected the cans. Society was merely tickled by the dancer's expensive habits, until a dismissed valet revealed that the cans were not empty when re-collected. The police are now inquiring whether the milk was re-sold for human consumption to the unsuspecting residents of a fashionable avenue near the dancer's house, or merely used to feed pigs and calves.
