J. AND EXCUANGE STiBLES From the New York Tribune. i'Tka raauatretneat of a great bote requires as much executive ability as the command of a brigade In tbe field. The same attention to details is necessary, and a strict system, which approaches military discipline, is followed. Tbe profits of a hotel may be largely diminished or frittered away entirely through lack of Judgement on part of the heads ot departments and throngti the various leakages ibat are, aot to occur In every laree establish ment.

In speaking' (if the losses of hotels, a hotel man said recently: P. "In a well-managed however large, the loee are not so great as is often supposed. Take the provisions. With careful buying and adequate ice-houses and coolinir- rooms, there should be very little wasted. Things tbat are not used as originally intended can be utilized in some other wav, as, for ex- ample, fruit which la not available for dessert can be turned into tart, and pies." Bat tbe greatest loss in food is caused by the priests themselves when meals are served table d'hote.

Of course a first-class bouse presents a bill of fare for. any meal which contains more than nve men can eat. mere are some people, however, who are not accustomed to the best fare, and are unable to make selections and they simply go in on the principle of getting their money's 80 tbey order everything, and If at dinner go straight through from sonp to coffee, calling for every dish tbat tbe menu' contains. Of they can't eat. one-quarter of- tbe amount, and so they leave ft great deal to tys wasted.

There is a chanee also for the waiters to cause a loss by bringing guests more 'things than- they want, in tbe hope that this undue attention will, increase their fees. But the head waiter and tbe controller who stand at tbe doors of the kitchen always keep a sharp lookout for this, and when a waiter is found bringing a guest half a dozen things instead of two that are really wanted, be is immediately discharged. When the 1. A ILJCUis arc bci tcu huw gicatucai ui money is often lost to the guests by the. 'double check racket, wVcb is a favorite game with dishonest waiters; The guest writes his orders on a check "which tho waiter takes to the cashier's desk, where the prices are put on and the check stamped.

Bat while tbe guest Is eating bis meal, the waiter secretly makes 'out another check with the same orders bat 'with, the prices increased from -10 to 50 per cent. Then be hands this, raised check to the guest for payment, but gives to the cashier the first cieck with the proper prices, and pockets the difference. If the guest pays bis check without close examination, as he is likely to do if he has ladies with him, of course be is swindled, and we can't prevent it. I have heard people say that tbey wouldn't go to tbe 'Manhattan, Brighton in. Long Beach again because tbe prices were so outrageous, and I knew at once tbat the waiters had raised their ecks.

The only remedy. Is for the guest carefully Xo compare the prices "on his check with those on bill of fare. First- rlaojt wnirArft act a. rnlA iarft VnrV tnp.n.- Tbey are usually French, German or Italian, .1 generally speak two, three or lour languages, and of teA.haja. some, education.

best -waiter level knew was something- of a bn-i something-of a musician," and no mean artist. Then he was an admirable waiter," and bad the knack of satisfactorily serving a great many ijeople at the same time. His fees Very Hrge.J received -the 1 neual salary of (30 or $35 a month and board. We ofTereoFWnT 'th(rapos1ikro of head waiter at a salary of $100 a mouth and board, and be it. He, told afterward tbat be couldn't afford to lose money by taking tbe "place you'seer What his fees must have amounted to.

At a great seaside, hotel ia the height of the season a good waiter will make iroin $5 to $15 a day in fees. It is a not an uncommon thing for a waiter to receive a dollar 'as a single, fee. and; It he Is serving a large party be sometimes gets 15. -'hut returning to 4he losses in hotels 1 come har whink tm rnullo thn Imnnrtant feature of a No hotel' can; tie successfully run without a bar. The goods are not perishable, and the receipts 'are so largely profit that the manager often expects the bar alone to pay the expenses of running the hotel.

No system of checks tbat I know of is effectual In nreventlng the bar-keener from 'knocklnc down': still I don't think there is much of it, done at tfie best houses. Tbe reason is tbaU tne Dest men atiamauie are seiecteaior tue places, and they are paid good salaries. I know a man who next week goer to a Saratoga hotel to "be head bar-keeper. i6f tte 'searson of three months he receives $100 and all his ex-penea, which is not bad pay. And good bar- tender employed the year round often receive $1,200 and $1,500.

Tbe linen department of a hotel, extensive as it is, is under one head. The housekeeper daily allots taeaeh cbamber- maid: who has a fixed dumber of rooms under "fV 1.
