Coercive Measures.

"Clara Belle" tells good many
things about the late Mrs. Rich, who
was shot by her husband in st. Paul,
and among them how she frightened
a New York Governor into signing a
bill: "She had called on him two or
three times and he had treated her
lightly and chafingly, as a busy man
might treat spoiled child. Sudden
ly, during her last visit, she is said to
have flung herself in his lap, with an
arm wound about his neck. Now,
Governor she said, 'Pll give you
one minute in which to sign that bill.
OF course, 1 do not need to tell you
what would happen should anyone
come in here and see me seated thus
The Governor signed the bill. He is
alive now, and no good could come OF
saying which Governor it was"

At a recent meeting of the Wash
ington Monument Society, Colonel
Casey made some very interesting
statements concerning the habits of
the monument, for it appears that
the great obelisk is a moving, if not
living, thing, and that it has reg
ular swaying motion when the sun is
shining upon it. On every bright day
the apex of the monument moves at
least one inch westward in the morn
ing when the suns first rays fall upon
it, and eastward again in the after
noon when the sun reaches the west
ern side. The heat of the suns rays
has an expansive effect upon the ma
sonry, and the plummet that is sus-
pended in the interior of the monu-
ment registers this movement from
day to day.
