A Hole in New French Coins

From the London GLOBE.
Paris.--We are beginning to hear a good
ceal about the proposed new nickel coin
ege in place of bronze and some faddist
apparently has raised a question as to
the hygiene. Doctors, however, have re-
assured US on the subject, and it is at
least satisfactory to learn that actually
the new coinage Is regarded, from the
health point of view, more favorably than
that of ordinary form. That Parisians
have taken this matter seriously is made
manifest by grave statement in one
of the newspapers regarding the dimen-
sion of the hole, and the absolute
smoothness of it's walls, which will not
permit dangerous molecules to harbor
there"
Then there is another question. The
coins are to be perforated. That is un-
derstood But wis re? Should it be in tire
center, as in Belgian coins. or should the
hole be utilized for decorative effect. A
suggestion has, indeed, been made that
the aperture should take the form of a
star, which, placed above the head of a
v'cman of sufficiently ideal design, would
have an effect quite poetic Officially this
is at once put out of court s'unless the
s.ar goes in the center" Obviously there
would be no establishment in that, so
failing a happy compromise, those who
hoped for artistic ''coppers" must expect
to be disappointed, and put up with nick
els bearing just plain round holes.
