There are sufficient people in Eng
land and Scotland paying the annual
tax imposed by the inland revenue
upon the use Of armorial bearings to
produce sum OF $3so.000 each year.
rhe great bulk OF this sum Is paid by
people who care not an atom either
about their family or their arms. but
pay the tax regularly simply because
they have carriages or plate heraidi-
cally decorated The really old FAM
lilies of the realm, however. use armor-
ial emblems for decorative purposes
to an extent almost incredible in the
eyes of those familiar with them
only on note paper, table silver and

Phoney Money Popular In the GoIdsn

that the right to issue these COINS

a considerable profit on the monopoly.
The result OF this monopoly seems TO
