HORNS OF DEER.
Heavily Antlered Stags-What Con-
stitules q Royal Hart.

From the Country Gentleman.
A stag and his antlers are almost as
inseparable in the mind OF the sports
man as In the mind Of one to whom deer
stalking is nothing but a name. Yet
there are not only hornless varieties OF
the family Cervidae, but not few men,
bers Of the great red deer group arc
found to nave been denuded by nature as
we'll as by accident Of the crownlng
glories of their race and sex.
Stays without horns are caiieo Hummle
stays, and they are far from being the
helpless creatures one might reasonably
have imagined them. They have been
known to fight and to conquer heavily
antlered stays of their own weight.
The appendaSes known as antlers are
so far from being universal among the
ceryine tribes that naturalists prefer 10
rely upon other characteristics In their
definitions Of the several families and
groups But a hornless stag Is so far an
exception that the system OF judging
the merit of the stalkers' spoil by the
character OF the head and the number
OF the tines or points Is certainly the
best that could be devised.
Many years ago an antler with fifteen
points was dug up from an Irish bog.
Assuming ain equal number on the antler
that was missing, the mighty hart to
been a stag not of twelve or thirteen.
but Of thirty points. Such prizes are
not. however. nowadays likely to fall
into the lap Of the Scottish deer stalkers,
still less will they be able to send to the
suffers such magnificent examples as
those which may be found in many an
old German schlosS.
The continental deer have always been
more heavily antiered than the British.
fact which may partly be accounted for
by their having access to much better
feeding than they are able to procure In
Scotland. But remembering that heads
Of eighteen and twenty points have been
killed in this country. II seems quite
reasonable that any head with tines in
excess OF the royal should be distin-
guished by special designation.
There is some difference of opinion as
to what constitutes royal hart. Strictly
speaking. the head should not only pos
sess brow" bay and .tay." and three
on the top. but these last three--the "sur
royals" as they are called-should form
cups in order to qualify the head as
royal The more generally accepted
proposition, that royal head is head
of twelve tines. is. however. also the
most convenient in the awarding of hon
ors where honors are due.

B. & o. STOCK STORY.
New York Rumor Of Common Stool
Issue of Several Millions.

NEW YORK. July "a rumor start
cd in this city yesterday 10 the Ct
feet that the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road is contemplating the issue OF
common stock to the extent of several
millions of dollars, but no confirmation
of the same could be secured at the
office of that company. One OF the offi-
Gals of the company said that he had
heard Of no such thing, and was sure
that the proposition had not been acted
upon, If 1t had ever been thought of.
The fact that q number OF the directors
of the company are In Europe at present
would make 1t seem improbable that the
matter is being definitely considered at
this time.
The runor has undoubtedly been born
in some active imagination as a result
Of the announcement made several days
ago that the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road is about to expend $l0.ooV,OO on its
equipment.
At the Baltimore and Ohio offices no
one would either confirm or deny the
rumor, which was sent out over the
country from New York on the stock
ticker, and which merely stated that the
project is under consideration. 1t was
declared that nothing whatever had been
said about II in open conference

PREPARING FOR CROP MOvING
BANKS URGED TO COOPERATE
WITH THE TREASURY.
Advised to Issue More Notes OF
Smaller Observation-Disclosures
for One-Dollar Bills.

| The cooperation Of the national banks
with the Treasury Department in fur
| nshing small bills to meet the demands
| growing out of the movement of the crops
| in various sections of the country is
| urged In statement just given out at
the Treasury Department. The sugges-
| ton followed a conferences of the Treas
ury officials at which the whole matter
was threshed over.
The relief sought is to have the ma
tiona1 banks issue five-dollar bank notes
to their legal limit In place of the larger
denominations and then to exchange
their five-dolIar certificates for one-dollaI'
silver certificates of equal aggregate
value. The statement follows:
Demand for Small Bills.
The usual fall demand Is being made
on the Treasury Department by the banks
for supply OF small bills for crop-mov-
ing purposes.
ITO meet this demand the Treasury can
issue new one-dollar silver certificates in
exchange for silver certificates of larger
denomination which are sent to the
Treasury for that purpose. An unusual
supply OF small bills has been prepared
to meet this seasonal demand and the
banks can materially assist the Treasury
by effecting the exchange of their large
silver certificates for small bills at an
early date, rather than by waiting until
the crop-movtng season actually begins.
1t lies within the power Of the ma
tional banks of the country to render
further material assistance in this mat
ter. Banks are permitted under the law
to take out 33 10 per cent of their cir
culation in five-dollar bank notes, or
about 30 millions. They have awaited
themselves Of this privilege only to the
extent of 10 per cent, or about 126 mil
lions: therefore. the national banks could.
if they desired, increase their supply of
tive-dollar bank notes by 81 millions.
Small Expense Involved.
I'm some instances it would involve the
banks in the small expense and trouble
Of having plates engraved for five-dollar
bank notes. But the banks would un-
doubtedly incur this expense and trouble
if they fully understood how much it
lies in their power to relieve the scarcity
of one-dollar bills. For if the banks
were to issue as many five-dollar bank
notes as they can legally do, instead OF
issuing larger denominations, 1T would
supply the banks with five-dollar bank
notes and enable them to send to the
Treasury their five-dollar silver certifi-
Gates to be exchanged for one-dollar sill
yer certificates.
LAS in the case of money forwarded
for redemption. the banks can effect these
exchanges at no other cost than the ex-
pense charge at government contract
rates"
The two-dolar bills have not proved
popular The banks are not requesting
the shipment of these bills and the
Treasury is not issuing any extra supply
of this denomination.

Government Lotteries.
FROM the London Chronicle


With reference to our note on foreign
lotteries. a correspondent reminds us that
1t was not until 1926 that government
lotteries were abandoned In this country.
For the thirty years preceding an aver
age annual profit of over E3i5,OOO had
accrued one contractor alone spending
ESD. 600 In advertisements In single
year. The money thus raised was usu-
ally for n particular purpose, such as
the improvement of London, the purchas Sc
OF Tomkins' picture gallery or the repair
Of various harbors. The last lottery was
announced in 1881, when. by legislative
blunder, authority was given to hold u
lottery for funds for the Improvement
Of Glasgow. but In 1884 an act was
passed for it's withdrawal.
If we are almost alone nov among
ance to the budget from lotteries. We
have u disreputable past OF our own to
forget. From the seventeenth century
to the reign of George ~ the crown re-
peatedly drew considerable revenues from
such sources. Thus In ITO and I'LL two
loans OF million and q half were
raised by the following ingenious system:
One hundred and fifty thousand tickets
at c10 each were issued. and the whole
OF the capital was sunk for good But
;. 100 OF the tickets We're to draw prizes
OF annual incomes. varying from E1.O0o
to s5, for thirty-two years. The other
tickets We're blanks. and on each blank
ticket only las. a year were paid during
the same thirty-two-year period.

mostly as a trades market and prices
upon a small voluuts of business rose ma
terially In the greater part of the session
from yesterdays closing figures, some
