A Supposed Corpse Comes to Life After
Being on Ice for Three Days.

A most remarkable instance of sup
posed corpse having been found to pos
sess signs of animation, and really being
restored to life after lying on ice for
three days, has just transpired at
Yonkers, Westchester County. 1t ap-
pears that seven-year-Old child of q
machinist named Miller, living on River
dale avenue, in the city above mentioned,
having been in delicate health almost
from the time of its birth, was attacked
by an unusually severe tit Of illness last
Thursday morning. A physician was
called in, and he, after apparently salts
flying himself as to the course of treat.
ment to be adopted, prescribed for the
little one, and on leaving intimated that
he would call again in the afternoon. 1t
is understood that the medicine pre-
scribed was powerful Opiate; but
whether this was the case or not, 1t Is as
serted that when the medical man called
in the afternoon glance at his late
patient induced him to pronounce the
child dead The services of an under.
taker were, of course, at once procured,
and by him the supposed corpse was
tenderly prepared for the last rites and
then placed in an ice coffin until the
usual time for interment should have
elapsed.
A wake was accordingly held, and
mourning relatives and friends "sat up"
with the body day and night until Sun
day afternoon, the time announced for
the funeral. Friends of the family had
gathered in considerable numbers to
assist in paying their tribute of respect
to the Borrowing parents, and, almost
everything being in readiness for the
committal of "dust to dust" the under
taker and his assistant, on transferring
the body from the ice coffin to the casket
in which it was about to be inferred,
were struck with astonishment at the
peculiar appearance of the remains. 1t
was noticed that there was d marked
| absence of rigor morris, or that stiffness
| which is an inseparable concomitant OF
departed life This discovery produced
| an indcscribably painful state OF anxiety
| to the parents, while the halffrightened
guests crowded around the ambiguous
corpse, suggesting various means of test
! ing whether the child was really alive or
dead. Three or four physicians were
| sent for, and they at once commenced a
| thorough search for any lingering evil
dence of vitality that might remain in
the subject, resorting, among other means,
to that of tying a cord tightly on the
fingers, whereby it was seen that the
nails changed color, plainly indicating
that the heart had not ceased to perform
its allimportant functions. When it be-
came apparent that there was life in the
| child, the most approved manner OF adj
ministering restoratives was resorted to,
and accordingly more palpable degree
of vitality was produced, although it is
doubtful if the little one, who was SO
providentially rescued from a living
tomb, can long survive the protracted
| freezing ordeal through which it has
passed The child was still alive last
| evening -New York Herald, Noe. II.

How to Use a GrindstOne.

COMMON grindstono spindles, with
crank at one end, are open to the great
objection that the stone will never keep
round because every person is inclined,
more or less, to follow the motion Of his
foot with his hand, which causes the
pressure on the stone to be unequal.
The harder pressure is always applied to
the very same part OF the stone and will
soon make it uneven, so that it is impos-
sible 10 grind tool true. To avoid this
put in place of the crank small cog
wheel to the spindle, say with twelve
cogs have another short spindle, with a
crank and cog wheel of thirteen cogs
to work into the former. The stone will
make about OF of revolution
more than the crank, and the harder
pressure of the tool on the stone will
change to another place at every turn
and the stone will keep perfectly round
if it is a good one This is very simple
contrvance, but it will be new to many
of our readers Cabinet Maker.
