THE JANIToR IN VIENNA.

Tyrant in Comparison.

tyrant that popular imagination pic

powers are rather limited, as eompar-

with those of the ianitor of a Viennese
apartment rhonse, for instance. In
one respect, at least, the American
has distinct advantage over his fell
low sufferer ina Viennese apartment
honse-he has no donr opening tax to
pay when he leaves or enters his
home.
The Viennese who does not wish to
be out of pocket must keep early
hours. About 10 o'clock at night he is
taxed on entering his own house or
apartment, or for the matter of that
any house or apartment. The "sparr-
geld" or door opening tax is not pc
euliar to Vienna, but is also found in
other capitals of Europe.
The 2.90gD00 residents of the Aus
trian capital are practically fmpris-

O'clock in the evening until the next
morning. Faey may go in or out only
by paying the equivalent of four cents
to the janitor or, as the Austrjans call
him, the housemaster.
