Vienna an Early-Closing Town.

In Vienna every man’s home is his dungeon from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. Vienna is a city of flats and at 10 p. ni. the common entrance door of each block Is closed and bolted. Thereafter persons passing in or out must pay a line of 4 cents to the concierge until midnight and 8 cents from that hour to 6 a. m. To go out to post a letter costs 4 cents, and the same amount to return. To prolong a visit to a friend after 10 p. in. means 4 cents to get out of his house and 4 cents more to enter your own. A natural result of this irritating tax Is that of all capital cities Vienna is earliest to lied.
