An English boy was fatally injured through an act of carelessness not at all infrequent among farmers and their boys in this country. He was sliding down the side of a hay-stack, when he struck upon the prongs of a pitchfork leaning against the stack. One prong entered his back and broke off, leaving six inches of steel imbedded in his body. Experiments in Germany on frozen potatoes prove that the freezing in nowise alters the chemical composition of the tubers. The change is simply physical, and, eYen if frozen hard, they are still fit for distillation, or they may be pressed to ■get rid of the water and then ground into a very good meal adapted for feeding cattle. ’.'W—The Committee of the Massachusetts Young Men’s Christian Association have been making a summer canvass of the northern part of the State with good success.
