A REFUGE FOR OILERS.
Recesses of the National Capitol a
Favorite Loafng Place.

Recesses of the National Capitol a
Favorite Loafng Place.
The capitol is a shelter for the shell
terless during cold and nasty weather,
says the Washington Post. 1t is much
more agreeable to sit in the warm gal
leries and nod through the speeches
and debates than to shiver over a fire
less stove in an attic. A number of
impecunious old gentlemen have dis
covered this and avail themselves of
the hospitality of the government with
profit and comfort to themselves and
harm to no one, for on inclement days
few people have enough ambition to go
up to Congress, ven when matters of
great interest are under discussion. A
large contingent Of decayed gentility
make daily piIgrimages there, with the
excuse that they are interested in legis-
lation. Some of the more fortunate
ones carry a smack in their pockets,
and can be seen surreptitiously con-
veying morsels of bread and cheese, in
some cases the fragrant bologna, from
their pockets to their mouths. The
majority ..of these worthless prefer the
house side, where there is some move
ment and excitement, but those who
seek rest rather than etertainment go
to the Senate gallery, where it is pos
sible to sleep peacefully through the
long speeches. Two very much out-at-
the-elbow gentlemen were overheard
in the rotunda discussing into which
gallery they should go. 81 want to be
cheered up, and they r still fighting
about the currency bill, said the tall,
slim one, whose legs were too long for
his trousers and whose nose looked as
if he had been accustomed to another
sort of cheer, but his thick comrade,
who had been cheered already, decided
in favor Of the Senate, and they sepa-
rated. There were only sever members
on the floor with Senator Pasco, who
was delivering his speech on the Mica.
rauga canal. Our venerable friend
rested his head against the partition.
and soon his gentle snoring interrupted
Gn0 usual Qul0G OF the m For
tunately he escaped the attention of
the ever vigilant doorkeepers and his
nap lasted until the Senate adjourned.
The doorkeepers do not allow sleeping
in the galleries if they know of it, since
an unhappy disturbance was one dav
created by an unlucky slumberer who
had the nightmare and awoke clutch
ing the air and crying: Kill himl Kill
him!"
Tothose gentry who are intellectually
inclined the library offers an asylum.
The long tables are filled with men,
shabby, unkempt, almost shoeless, who
readand make notes in the o tlearned
way. 1t is interesting to note that the
favorite books of this class are blood
and thunder novels and works on So
cialism. Occasionally you see one of
them, a broken down p~edagogue, per
haps, reading the classics, and many
of them call for books in foreign Ian
guages. looked over the shoulders of

A QUEEN AT TEA.
Victoria of England Often Drinks a
SociabIe Cup of Tea as the Guest
of an American Lady.

One of Queen Victoria's favorites IS
Madame Albani, and once year her
majesty honors the prima donna by taxi
ing a cup OF tea with her.
This is when the queen is at Balnoral
CASTLE usually during September or Octo-
Der, and Madame Albani is at her country
place, old Mar lodge, an estate which she
rents from the Duke of Fife, and which
is in Mar forest near Balmoral castle.
This tea drinking occasion is wholly de-
void of pomp and circumstance. The
queen drinks her beverage, which,, by the
way, is English breakfast, quite like an
ordinary mortal, but quite unlike the or
binary English woman, she does not take
a second cup.
The honor of serving tea to her majesty
For Albani, the queen has always had a
particular affection, and she delights to
honor her in various ways.
Upon these occasions of the afternoon
function the queen sends word a day or
two previously Of her intention to visit
her neighbor. She is accompanied by one
CT the princeSseS and a. lady or two in
waiting, and she drives the distance. OF
about ten miles, in an open carriage.
After the brief ceremony of tea drink
ing is over the queen takes stroll
Although not particularly fond of flowers
she appreciates Madame Albani's fond
ness for them, and frequently sends her
superb bouquets from Balmoral. - as,
The queens dress is usually very SIM
plea, black cashmere or soft silk, devoid
of ornament or trimming; it is the toilet
OF a respectable lady of The middle class
and is even more bare of ornament than
the plainest and most simple people OF
that class would average. Dress is a

the queen appeared to be devoid of in
