Jules Bossouet assisted at the ceremony.
Stin true to his love and wellnigh be-
side himself with grief, he conceived the
romantic idea of breaking open the vault
and securing lock of the deceased's
hair. That night, therefore, when all
was still, he scaled the wall of the
cemetery, and, by circuitous route,
approached the vault. When he had
broken open the door and entered the
vault he lighted candle and proceeded
to open the coffin. AT the moment when
he bent over the supposed corpse,
scissors in hand, Victorine opened her
eyes and stared him full in the
face. He uttered cry and sprang
back; but, Immediately recovering his
self-possession, he returned to the coffin,
covered its occupants lips with kisses,
lifted her out, and soon had the satisfac-
ton of seeing her in the full possession
of all her faculties. When Victorine was
sufficiently recovered they left the
churchyard and went to Bossouet's resi-
dence, where physician administered

feet the complete recovery Of the unfor
tunate woman. This proof Of Bossouet's
love naturally made a deep impression
on Victorine. She repented of her past
fickleness, and resolved to fly with the
romantic Jules to America There they
lived happily together, without, however,
ever being able to fully overcome their
longing to return to their native land
Finally their desire became so strong to
| revisit the scenes Of their youth that
| they decided to brave the dangers at
tendant on a return, and embarked at
New York for Havre, where they ar
rived in July, 1880. Victorine in the in
term had naturally changed very great
| ly, and Jules felt confident that her for
mer husband would not recognize her.
In this hope he was disappointed. Re
nellie had the keen eye Of a tinancier,
and recognized Victorine at the first
| glance. This strange drama ended with
| a suit brought by the banker for the re-
| covcry of his wife, which was decided
against him on the ground that his claim
| was outlawed"

How to Make a Grain Hand Rake.

Procure some wire about one-fourth
of an inch in diameter; cut it in pieces
seven inches long, and dress the ends
round or nearly so with a large file, or on
the grindstone. These pieces are for the
teeth of the mandrake. Now take them
TO a blacksmith's shop or to machine
shop and have Il thread cut on one end
of each tooth for about one inch. Then
drive out every alternate tooth in the
head of u wooden mandrake, plug up
the holes with pieces of hard wood, well
seasoned and oiled as they are driven in,
and bore other holes in the head of the
proper size to receive the iron teeth
when screwed in. The holes for the
wire teeth should be bored on one side
of the plugs, SO that the thread on the
teeth will be held by the thread made in
the head of the rake If the hole is
made in the center of the plug, tooth
and all will soon work out. A better
way still will be to take an old rake with
a broken head. Make new head, into
which insert the teeth. When raking
wheat, barley, rye, or oats into gavels,
one can rake much faster, and with far
less strength, by employing a rake with
teeth twice as long as the wooden teeth
are usually made. When raked with
short teeth the rakcr must necessarily
exert more strength to keep the rake
down into the stubble than is required
to move the straw along into gavels
Old rakes, the teeth of which have been
worn up to short stubs, are frequently
put into the hands of boys, to rake
grain for others to bind into sheaves As
the teeth are so short they labor hard to
accomplish what they could do with COM
parative ease if their rakes were pro-
vidcd with teeth seven inches Ion {. a
rake with long teeth will work far more
satisfactorily at any other sort of work
than one with short teeth. If wire can
not be procured conveniently, knock out
the short wooden teeth and make long
teeth out of some tough hickory, yellow
locust, or any other tough timber, sea-
soned thoroughly. Such job can be
done on some stormy day. After raker
has been accustomed to long teeth he
| will not. use a mandrake with short
teeth, because short teeth require the
exercise of more musclc.-N. Y. Times

Sun Baths.


THESE cost nothing and are the most
refreshing, life giving baths one can take
whether sick or well. Every housekeep-
CT knows the necessity of giving her
woolens the benefit of the sun from
time to time, and especially after long
absence from the sun. Many will think
of the injury their clothes are liable to
from dampncss who will never reflect
that an occasional exposure of their own
bodies to the sunlight is equally neces-
sary to their own health. The sun-baths
cost nothing, and that is a misfortune,
for the people are still deluded with the
idea that those things only can be good
or useful which cost money, and they
will cheerfully pay away their dollars
for Turkish and Russian baths when
they could get any number of sun-baths,
which would be far more beneficial to
them, for nothing.

without money and without price, if you
will. If you would enjoy good health,
then see to it that you are supplied with
pure air to breathe all the time; that you
battle for an hour or SO in the sunlight;
that you quench your thirst with no other
fluid than water
In regard to sun-baths, let any invalid
who reads this, and who has been housed
for some time, take an occasional walk
in the sun, if it should be only on the
piazza, and observe the effect In our
opinion he will find it the most healthful
bath he has ever taken. Sleeping rooms
should be selected in such parts of the
house as have the most benefit from the
rays of the sun. The bed and bedclothes
should be aired and kept in the sun as
long as possible every day. Many of
