Arrived at the hotel, the baggage is carried to pur room by four ooolies, Then there is the table walter, the room man, the scavenger, the man who brings bot water, and the man who does this, that and the other. Of course, the driver of your carriage expects a tip, in addi- tion to his fee, as does the footman who rides behind. the men who are constantly in front of your room offering to sell you a snake, tell your fortune, make a tree grow out of the ground, make music or perform athletics.

Whea I settled my bill at the Benares hotel the clerk and the manager sat side by side. The clerk made out the bill and 1 paid it, whereupon the clerk gave it to a servant to carry to the manager, who receipted it and sent it back to ms by the servant. The clerk might have handed the bill to the manager; the manager might have handed it to me But that is the custom over here, and as it has been the oustom thousadds of years, | won't attempt to chings it on this hurried trip.
