In certain parts of Worcestershire and Staffordshire ths idea prevails that a silver coin from the Christmas morn ing offertory is a sovereign remedy for any ill that human flesh Is heir to. Ac cordingly any householder who hap pens to have an ailing child or other person In his bouse hies him to the clergyman of the parish on Christmas morning- and asks as a favor a sacra- meat shilling, as the coin is called. The coin given ln exchange has to be •btaiacd by collecting a dosen pennies from as many different maidens and then changing the coppers for a sliver shining. For this coin ths applicant receives tn* coveted sacrament shill ing, which on being taken bom* Is hung round the ailing oca's neck and is popularly supposed to street a rapid and complete cure of tho complaint, no matter what It may be. t Two Primaries Next Year Two primary elections will be held in this state next year. The spring primary election will be held the first Tuesday in April and the fall primary on the first Tues day before the general election in November. At the spring primary the votef will cast his vote for members of tbe state and county committees of the parjy in which he is enrolled. The fact that the election of members of county com mittees of all parties comes in the spring on each presidential year will shorten the term of the com- mittemen by some months. Those committeemen who were elected Sept. 28th will find that their terms expire next April. At the spring primary, also, delegates aud alter nates at large and district delegates and alternates to tbe national con vention of the various parties will be elected. This is all the choice tbe common voter has in placing a man in nomination for the presi dency. At the fall primary on presidential years nominations of candidates for state offices and for member of congress and United States senator are made. Nomina tions for governor and the whole state ticket are also made in the fall primary as well as for the county ticket. Singular Accident.

Fortunately the bullet did not hit a bone but made an ugly wouod just the same, carrying some of tbe straw in tbe tick into it. If infection doesn't set in he will soon recover.
