HOTEL RULES.
Rome facetious person wrote the following rules over the fire-place in the bedroom of an American hotel : — Board, fifty cents per square foot. Meals extra. Guests are requested not to speak to the dumbwaiter. Guests wishing to get up without being called can have self-raising flour for supper. Guests wishing to do a little driving-, can find hammer and nails in the closet. If the room gets too warm open the widow and see the fire-escape. If you are fond of athletics and like good jumping lift the mattress and see the bed spring. Base-ballists, desiring a little practice, will find a pitcher on the stand. If the lamp goes out take a feather out of the pillow ; that's lii?ht enough for any room. Any one troubled with nightmare will find a halter on the bedpost. Don't worry about paying your bill ; the house is supported by the foundations.
