Clio EnnIish COINAGE clumsy.

When will an attempt be made to
reform our clumsy British coinage?
need not wait until the decimal
system is introduced. which, with rea-
son, convenience and everything else
on its side, still makes very little
progress; but we could follow the ex-
ample of other countries and substi-
tute more convenient coinage for our
present coppers. France has just in
troduced new nickel half-pennies and
pennies. These coins cannot be mis-
taken for silver, even in the dark, as
they are Observation-Disclosures Chron-

The Feds deserve a hand for the
