NTASHINGTON.-F some five years " past, the residents of Sixteenth treet have been thoroughly mystified md made not a little curious by the reseAce of most unusual carriage, which from time to time appears there.
 It is an ordinary brougham, very pick and span, drawn by one horse, a Jack one, and beautifully caparisoned. The coachman is a large man, with a llean-shaven, florid face and iron-gray lair, usually wearing a black coat. Thus far the carriage is most conven- ional, but when the eye lights on the Ioors it stops, and one is tempted to urn and take a second look; for, in- Itead of the usual glass at the win lows, there are oak panels filling the mtire space. Each has a crescent lhaped hole cut near the top, as if to Idmit air to some one inside.
 Only on bright, sunny days, spring md fall it may be seen, and usually in he morning. From Sixteenth and H Itreet to Sixteenth and N streets it goes, up and down, up and down, ap- ,arently never changing its course, for 10 one remembers ever having seen it anywhere else. The horse travels at | medium pace, never fast, and the mining, tightly closed carriage, gleam- ng in the sunshine, looks almost un- .anny.
 At short intervals the driver leans Iround, first on one side and then On he other, and looks carefully in at the

NotIfvInn the God

One of the odd things the visitor to Burma will notice is the large mum Der of bells about the pagodas. These bells are usually hung on sacred poSta . few feet above the ground. They are sweet-toned, as all Burmese b0lls are, but they are not furnished with tongues. The worshiper who comes to pray before the pagoda strikes one of these bells with a wooden maIlet This Is to attract the attention of the god.

Power of Radiunn.

Suppose that the energy of ton O radium could be utilized in 30 years instead of being evolved at its in. variable slow rate of 1,760 years for half disintegration, 1t would suffice to propel a ship of 15.OOe tons, with en- zines of 15,0O0 horsepower, at the rate of IS knots an hour for 30 years-prac- tically the lifetime of the ship.

 have a reception hall, living room, dining room and music room. How should I decorate each room, and which will be the best for the bride to be in when she is receiving her gifts? As expect to have from forty to fifty guests, I can not seat them at the table. Should cards of any kind be used when passing the refresh ments?
 What would be a pretty way in bringing the gifts to the bride? I have a little girl two years of age, with long golden curls, whom I thought could help in this, or is she too small? If not, how should I have her dressed? Please excuse my many questions, but have another one which has pug zled me.
 When you have been introduced to friend and when you or they are ready to part and they say, q am glad I met you," what Is the correct answer to give them? I hope you will have my answers in the paper soon.

You need no decoration save the flowers in season, and if you have potted plants place them where they show the best. Arrange the flowers simply, in vases, bowls and baskets; place them on the mantels, in front of fireplaces, on the piano and on the porches. I should say that the living room would be the best place for the bride and the guests, as it Is doubt less the largest. You do not need place cards unless you seat the guests at small tables and serve all at once I am afraid the little two-year-old wiD be too young to assist When you wish to reply to the remark men tioned, just say, q am sure the pleas ure is mutual; I'm glad I met you too" There are no set phrases for certain occasions; just be your owr natural self. Perhaps you could place all the parcels in a flower and rib bcned tie basket and let the wee daughter drag it in by white ribbons to the bride-elect.
