DRINK LEMONADE.

Dignified Senators Get Away with Twentyfive Gallons Daily. Five or six dozen quarts of apollinaris water and about a box of lemons are consumed every day in making lemonade for the use of the Senate in hot weather. The coo ing drink is made in the basement and brought into the cloakroom by the bucketful, and served in earthenware coolers, holding about throe gallons each. Two men ara kept busy squeezing lemons and mixing the juice with the sugar and of apollinaris. This is Uncle Sam's treat out of the contingent iund. There is no alcoholic liquor in this preparation. Every ca- e that a thoughtful country can devise is taken to relieve them of' the necessity of taking jli their clothes in the gpnate chamber. The bath rooms in the basement are provided with every comfort from ice water to TurkoRussian steam, and from violet water to bay rum for an after sousing, and in the sergeant-at-arms’ office are quinine pills for malaria and Jamaica ginger for cramps, and several preparations suitable tc relieve a disordered stomach or an aching head. For any bruis \s that may bo indicted during the session, gallons of witch-hazel are kept in the store room.
