KNIFE ENDED ALL SQUAWKING Pets of Clemenceau No Longer Cre ated Disturbance, After Undergo ing a Slight Operation. M. Clemencenu's love of pets, of which much bus appeared In tho press nlnco his recent visit to London, once involved him In trouble with bis neighbors, Twelve years ago, during his first term as premier, he had n number of peacocks and storks In stalled In the gardens attached to the ministry of tho Interior. There are no trees In these gardens, only lawn nnd flower beds, which In M. Clemenceau's opinion lack animation hence the peacocks. Hut other peoplo living In the Place Bcnuvnn complained that these birds were ton animated, their cries being so persistent as to render sleep Impossible. Things reached such a pass that the prefect of police, was asked to Indict his official superior for disturbing tho peaco of his neighbors, who wero nil the more Indignant because M. Clc- menceau went home overy night to sleep at his flat In the Hue Franklin, far out of tho range of the poncoclcs' cries. However a scandal was averted by tho premier allowing n Hllght oper ation to be performed on the vocal chords of his pets, which, without oth erwise injuring them, rendered them Incnpnbjo of squawking. And Still Eggs Are High! The hens need a walking delcgnte. Grinding the beaks of tho poor unpro tected fowls seems to bo the modern poulterer's long suit.

Tho lights burn steadily until 10 p. m. At 4 n. m. they are turned on gradually until their full glare wakes the bens. The poultry then sit up and rub their eyes and think. "How short tho nights are getting I Yet it's certainly dnyllght, Well Just one darned day after another t" Nights are short. The touching Innocence of the hen victim' lzes it to the extent of getting only six hours' sleep a night. Eight-hour day? Why, tho chicken works as long as the farmer 1 The Nation's Business.

Wwtarn Nemp-ap-ir Union) Two Incidents In the life of Kleanor Price stood out vlvtdly mid made an Impcrm and led to results that tinged her entire career. She lived in a little mihurb, making her home with a widow In poor circumstances. The Ilrst episode occurred one stormy wintry day about dusk. Klea nor had called for mall at the village post olllce on her way homo, and hnd got a few yards down the street when she noticed a little green roll lying on the snow. It win money seven teen dollar. lClennor returned to the post ofllee and posted a notice telling that the owner of a sum of money found near by could recover the same by telephoning to her home. It wa less than an hour later when then' came a call from a woman living at the other end of the town. She named the amount lost, which had dropped out of a letter she had re ceived and asked that the Under come n once with the money, nut airs, woods, Klennor's landlady, had n sick child and Kleanor helped her do up the dishes anil then started out. It was no pleosant stroll, but, Kleanor thinking of the usual custom In such cases, fervently hoped that the lady might give l.er a small reward for her trouble. She rang the doorbell of the bouse wheie she at length arrived. A sour-faced woman confronted her, holding the door grudgingly ajar. "if you nrc Mrs. Cole, I have come to brlmr you your lost money," said Eleanor. Tlie woman aimosi snnicaeu ui u with the words: "Well, you didn't hurry youtself, did you? It's too late to send for my groceries now," and closed the door In Klennor's face. The hurt and astonished girl stood dumbed for a moment. "I declare. 111 never try to do a kind not again!" scolded Kleanor, but she knew the next mlnuto that she did not moan what she said less than ever when, reaching homo, her landlady consoled her with honest sympathy and tho prediction: "You'll got your reward somewhere along the line, deary." The prophecy came true. Eleanors task at the mall order establishment of Klston & Co. wns to fold and mall advertising Hroulars. Her pay was poor, but the following Saturday noon when she got homo nnd opened her pay envelope, besides the ten dollars sho received weekly, caught to tho lowermost, bunk note with a fragment of paste wiih a twenty dollar bill. At once Kleanor reasoned It out that the cashier had made u mistake. Later that evening when she found her sim ple hearted landlady In tears because the owner of the premises bad de manded his rent. Kleanor wished the twenty dollar bill was truly her own to relieve the distress of the poor woman. The cashier smiled In n strange way ns Eleanor on Monday morning took tho bill to ids window. "We have found out already a shortage In our cash," bo said, "but you will hnve to go to Mr. Hartley Klston about this." He was the son of the owner of the business anil Eleanor liked him. He had spoken to her courteously several times. Ho smiled up at her from his otllce chair as, timid nnd fluttering, Eleanor recited tho circumstances of tho case. "You will retain the money, If you please, Miss Price," he observed. "Tho prollt and loss account was brought up to date Saturday night, and wo cannot niter our balances now. By the way, we need a new girl to take chnrgo of our mull department. Do you think you could systematize It?" "I could try," replied Eleanor. "The salary Is considerable of an Increase over what you have been earning. The happiest hour Eleanor bad ever known was hers when that evening she Insisted on loaning tho twenty dollars to her landlady to help her out with tho rent. "You are Just u sweet, dear angel of mercy 1" sobbed tho woman feelingly. "I'll take It. but you shall have It back very soon. 1 wrote to my brother In nnother city last night and he wIR be sure to send mo some money." It was Just after noon tho next day when Eleanor received a summons to go to young Mr. Elston's olllce. Sho feared sho had been found lacking in eligibility for her now position. There sat her landlady, engaged In congenial convorsntlon with Mr. Klston. Mrs. Woods wishes mo to cash u check, Miss Price," ho spoke. "As n mntter of form you will Identify her, I suppose?" "Oh, surely I" replied Kleanor. "It's a check from my brother. deary' explained Mrs. Woods, "and needing It cashed, not knowing but you had borrowed tho twenty dollars for mo, bless your kind, true heart I have told Mr. Klston nil about your goodness to me." Eleanor blushed under the slnceiv encomiums of her grateful friend more than over us sho noted tho rapt glance of Hartley Klston fixed admir ingly upon her, It was a day later that she learned thnt the overpay test hnd been applied to overy girl In the employ of the house nnd only threo out of ten had nrovon honest. She understood her promotMci now, It was u month later, whun, after seeing her to tho train several times, Hartley Ulaton asked hor to become his wife. WORLD'S LARGHST UNCUT GEM "Black Opal," Found In Nevada In 1917, Was a Quarter the Size of a Brick. What Is bolloved to be the largest uncut gem In the world hns come to-i. light in a recently opened mining dis trict In Nevada, whore It wns discov ered In the spring of 11117. The stone Is n "black opal." so-enlled because dark tones predominate In It. It shows mostly dnrk peacock blues and emerald greens, with a considerable nmount of red, and several lens promi nent shades. In size this great gem approaches a quarter of an ordinary brick, being threo and flfleen-slxtoentlm Inches In length, three and one-eighth In width, nnd two and ono-olgMh thick at the bulkiest point. Its weight Is eighteen and Mx-tenths avoirdupois ounces, which expressed In gem diction Is 8,18(1 grains, or 2,500.00 carats. More than n pound of opal Is surely some stone! And It Is nil solid, uncrucked, tlawlesH gem material, free from matrix or adhering rock except for a pnper thin skin encrusting the two major surfaces. Little specks broken from this skin here nnd there revonl tho brilliant play of colors within, while the exposed ends nnd edge ex hibit the full refracting radiance of the mass. This stone Is about hnlf ngaln as large as the largest of the noted gems of the world. The Oiilllnun diamond wns roughly the size and shape of a mnnll fist, and, If It bad been nn opal, would hnve weighed but 1.720 carats. It Is compared with the now opal on this basis since the specific gravity of Iho diamond Is 75 per cent greater than that of the opal. Archie Itlce In tho Scientific American. REACHING FOR WORLD TRADE Every Nation Wide Awake to the Pos sibilities That Have Opened, Fol lowing the Great War. A more cosmopolitan document could hardly be lmnglned thnn the weekly list of trade chances which Is nowadays gathered from nil sources by the United Stntcs department of commerce, nnd published for the In formation of American business In terests. An ngeney In Spain wishes to sell agricultural machinery and me cbnnlcal tops: a company Itr Kgypt wishes to handle American ennlboiirds and all kinds nf paper; n firm In India Is enger to come In contact with ex porters of general merchandise; agri culturists in South Africa nro In terested In caterpillar tractors; a man In Switzerland would fain become an ngent for ynrns and fabrics; nnother In Belgium wishes to deal In food products: nn engineer In Lettland would like to represent exporters of agricultural tools and automobiles, but perceives the wisdom of hnvlng more than one string to his bow, for ho wnnts also an ngeney for the snle of lord. An Interesting medley of com merclnl ambitions, with Items thnt hnve already counted up to more thnn 1,500, the lists reveal how, all over tho world. Individuals nnd companies nro hoping for opportunity to shnre In in ternational trade. Crown Dating From 1000 A. D. Tho rumor, current In the European press some months ngo, when tho Bcln Klin administration ruled In Hungary, that the Hungarian crown was to be sold, seems to hnve disappeared, and the later government apparently means to keep It. It was an odd circumstance, snys a writer commenting on that rumor nnd Its disappearance, that, with so much talk of discarded Insig nia of royalty, the one crown nctunlly mentioned as being for snlo should have been the most ancient one, with n single exception, In Europe. For whereas the German crown, for exam ple, Is comparatively modern, nnd wns made no longer rigo than 1871 for tho former kaiser's grandfather, this crown of Hungary traces back, at least in legend, to the yenr 1000, nnd the sum of 100,000 Swiss marks, about $10,000, which, last summer, was clrcunistnn tlally reported as the price for which It was to bo sold, does not seem pur tlcularly exorbitant. Depressing "Flying Dream.' In the fiylng dream, you suddenly leap off your feet and undergo the ex perlence of rising to great heights nnd skimming over Innumerable ob Jects. If tho dream only embraces this and nothing more, It may be tnk en to augur some kind of a surprise, usuully of a more or less pleasant na turo; but If, ns so of ton happens, ono imagines ono tiles to escape some pe culiarly evil presence, then the dream mny be regarded us a warning against somo sinister person or plot. Flying dreams generally occur to people with mnrked psychic tendencies. Painter's Fame Camo Slowly. August Renoir, seventy-eight years old, the famous Fronch Impressionist, died recently nt Cagnes, France, on tho doy that his picture of the Pont Neff fetched 100,000 francs nt an art sale, In his youth he often paid for his din ner with a picture. Renoir was one of tho first ot tho impressionists. He worked to the last, and died with his naletto in his hands. "I feel I am Just beginning to know my trade," be said when ho wns well over seventy.
