A Record Moose.

Probably the largest moose ever killed
was shot in Alaska last summer by Lord
Alphlnstone and party in the Kenai
peninsula. This moose weighed 1876
pounds and measured ~ feet to the top
OF his shoulders; the skull and horns,
Is pounds, but the spread of the antlers
is not known definitely. The nextlarg-
est moose on the coast is one in the par
lament building at Victoria, B. q, which
measures seven feet three inches in
height. The party are very we'll salts
fed with their hunt, and brought out
quite a number of trophies, which they
prize very highly. The English party
was beaten to SeIdovia by Baron Paul
Neidick, who paid the agent Of the
steamer Nome City $500 to be landed
at Seldovia, where he could secure the
services Of John Fitzpatrick ahead Of
the English party. He won the race to
the north. but the A~lphinstone party got
the game.-Field and Stream.

SLANG M FOR COINS
Odd Terms Used in Different coun.

Pieces of Money.

Probably every country possesses Pc

for it's coins. For instance, a nickel"
very well defines the American fve-cent
piece of currency, and a ':red cent, is
equally expressive, says London Tit
Bits.
In Scotland a man who flies kites is

an imaginary coin slightly differing
from the same term in America:
In England the same person would
not be worth q mag" A kite is an
accommodation bill; a mag is the
smallest copper coin of the realm.
On the racecourse one hears talk of
betting a pony" which is s25, or win
ming a monkey" which is $500. The
latter, however, is somewhat rare.

CURED BY HIS OWN TALK.
When the Young Man Saw His
"Boozy Monologue" in Print
He Signed the Pledge.

lhere goes a young man whom !
saved from going to the dogs through
drink remarked a court stenogra-
pher, relates the New York Press. HE
IS a tlptop fellow and has plenty of
ability, but two or three years age he
Degan to let red liquor get the best of
him.. He had a good position at the
time and l don't think he exactly neg
lected his work, but it got to be a
common thing to see him standing
around barrooms in the evening about
tWo-thirds full and talking foolish. A
lew OF his intimate friends took the
liberty Of giving him a quiet hint. AS
usual IN such cases, he got highly in
dlgnant and denied point-blank that
he had ever been in the least under
the influence. All the same, he kept in
creasing the pace until it became pref
ty easy to predict where he was going
to land, and It was at hat stage Of
the game l did my great reformation
act.
1 was sitting in an uptown restau-
rant one evening when he came in
o"S In IL IOOh q oCdt az q
table without seeing me. He was
just drunk enough to be talkative
about his private affairs and on the
impulse of the moment I pulled out
my notebook and took a full short
hand report of every word he said. 1t
was the usual maudlin rot of a booty
man and included numerous very can
did details of the speakers daily life.
Next morning I copied the whole
thing neatly on the typewriter and
sent it around to his Office. In less
half an hour he came tearing in
to me with his eyes fairly hanging out
of their sockets.
"Great heavens, jack he gasped,
what is this, anyhow
It's a stenographic report of your
monologue at IS last evening" 1
replied, and gave him a brief explana-
ton.
"tDid l really talk like that?' he
asked, family.
Il assure you it is an absolutely YER
batim report said I.
"He turned pale and walked out and
from that day to this he hasn't taken
a drink. His prospects at present are
splendid. All he needed was to hear
himself as others heard him."
