A French Money Lender. — A Paris money lender, well-known to the jeunessc doree, has played one of his clients a trick. The latter came to him wishing to borrow l,ooof. " Come again to morrow," was the reply. The next day, when his customer arrived, "There's your money," said the money lender, pointing to a hugh pile of bottles of champagne " What do you moan — my money?" "Well, the wine there is worth l,ooof. " Now," said the young man who well new the tricks of the old one, * ' how much will you give me for it, and take it off my hands?" " 750f." " Well replied the younjjman, "I have no choice — I must put up with your terms ; but at any rate, I'll have a bottle of champagne, as it has cost me such a pretty penny? and, seizing a bottle, he broke the neck. " You old vagabond !" he cried "What difference does it make to you ?" was the phlegmatic reply " seeing that I have taken them off your hands ?"' Bee Stings. — A correspondent of the " Gardener's Magazine'" writes as follows : — "On the loth of April last, a young man, employed near bees, had the misfortune of bf-ing stung. No remedy being near at hand, I remembered Mr. Gordon's note on the cure of bee stings, at page 461 of the "Gardener's Magazine" for 1872. I recommended him to apply the common soil to the wound, as described by Mr. Gordon, and it imraediatly relieved the pain and" prevent•ed the swelling. Such a receipt is of more value than gold to all who have anything to do with bees. I formerly used common blue for bee stings, but common soil is preferable Hollow a t's Pills — "Rheumatism, Neurnl<>ia. — It is sometimrs difficult to determine which of there disen°es is affiietin z the snflVrer, but. such uncertnintv will be imm nei-i.il if Hollowny's remedies be used. They nlteviote and onre all muscular on.'l nervous pain*. In lice iit.iry rheumatism, after ba'himr thn affected parts with warm ealt water, Hollowny's Ointment should be well rubbed upo-i the spot, that it may penetrate and exert its soothing and regulating properties on the deeper vessels and nerves which being unduly excited, cause both pain and swelling. Holloway's treatment has the merii- of removing tlie disease without, debilitating the constitution, which was the inevitable result of the bleeding, mercury^ and colchicum practice formerly ado-ted in these complaints.
