few years ago, the inhabitants Of a par,
ticnlar street In Paris were attacked with an
,nnaccountablc irritation Of the opidermis,
which compelled them to scratch themtelves
from morn till night, no considerate duke of
Areeyle being there to take compassion on
them, The result was that they soarifed
sthemselves bit bysbit, and any one seeing
them would have thought that leprosy at least
had fallen on the quarter. An inquiry was
Instituted by the authorities, when it was dis.
covered that the proximity Of q certain Mad
emoiselle Rose, breeder Of ants, for the sake
.of their eggs for fattening young pheasants,
was the cause Of the calamity. Onthe police
visiting her establishment, they encountered
g woman beatWeonforty and fifty years Of age,
and Of 9, terrible aspect, her face and hands
being as completely tanned as though they
had undergone dressing at the hands of a
skilfll c%nrrier. This was the result of con.
tinuoas attacks on the part of her uugrateful
pupils, whose inroads upon her person had
forced her to encase the rest of her body in
buff leather. Thus protected she slept at

seemed much astonished at the police visiting
her establishment.

could urge, Mademoiselle Rose was obliged
to transport her strange boarding establish
.nent to a perfectly isolated building beyond
tho barrier, and in due course tho cutaneous
irritation experienced by her late %ncighbors
was allayed.
Mademoiselle Rose had her correspondents
In many Of the departments of France, more
especially in those where very large forests
exist, and paid them at the rate of a couple
of francsSasday. Her aggregate daily con.
~slgnments were about huff a score Of large
