An Absurd Custom In Vienna.

In Vienna every mans home is his
dungeon from 10 p. III. to a. m. Vienna
is city If fats. and ut 10 p. IN. the
common entrance door Of each block Is
closed and bolted. Thereafter persons
passing in or out must pay a fine Of
twopence to the concierge until mid
night and fourpence from that hour TO
u IL. III. TO go out to post Il letter costs
twopeuce and the same amount to re-
turn. To prOlong visit to n friend
after 10 p. III. means tw0pence to get
out OF his house and twopence more TO
enter Your own. A natural result of
this irritating tax is that of all capital
cities Vienna is earliest to bed.

Aristocratic Ants.

The SlayelOldinS ants are of several
kinds and differ greatly i'll the manner
in which they treat their vassalS. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of overseers; others share
their lahors. while still others have
fallen into such habits Of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ricd about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritism is the mere oSteatatiuus
love OF being served. The incapacity is
not physical. but moral. and arises
from IN aristocratic aversion To any
kind Of mental lal'ur.
