Hungary seems to know how to keep
her postal department employees hap

Budapest a correspondent says that

is the Importance given to social insti-
tutions within its own walls. In the

ants. There is also no need for any
one to leave the premises for food or
newspapers, seeing that an elaborate
buffet is open day and night, where
men may at reduced charges obtain all
they need. see all the papers and do
their writing. In addition to this a
large number of beautifully fitted bed
rooms have been provided for the use
of the night staff during their periods
Of relief. There is also a hOurishing
sick aid society, at which 10000 cases
were treated free last year by eminent
physicians; a fine choral society, sports
club, casino and an additional pension
association, which within six months
numbered more than 6,O0O members.

TURBULENT ERIVAN.
A City That Is Said to Have Been
Founded by Noah.


In Harpers Fl. W. Nevinson tells of
his visit to the ancient city of Erivan,
in the Caucasus. near Mount Ararat
one Of the cities said to be founded by
Noah.
"Erivan itself gathers up the post
diluvian history Of the land. for 1t was
one Of the two or three cities in this
neighborhood founded by Noah, and It
IS still celebrated for his vintage.
Many intermediate centuries have
been lost to man, but for the last thou
sand years it possesses a turbulent rec
ord of raids and counter raids, sieges,
invasions and massacres, for it has
highlands, round which Persians and
Turks Russians. Armenians and Tar
tars have cOnverged.
"All that is beautiful in the town Is
Persian still. In the midst. behind the
darkened alleys and caverns OF the
bazaar. stands a Persian mosque. with
minaret set with enameled bricks that
CLEAN like jewels. The place is a great
school of the Shah form Of Islam and
is built in a great quadrangle. with the
cells of teachers down the sides and a
kind of half mosque at each end. like
an open air theater in shape, but gor
geously decorated with paintings and
mosaics Of eighteenth century work,
''In Erivan itself, as in most OF these
frontier towns and villages. the Tar
tars have succeeded the PersiaDs as
the representatives Of Asia and Islam.
Their special quarter stands above the
rest of the town, separated from it by
an interval Of vineyards and garden
fields. From that vantage ground they
have swept down again and again in
the last two years for the slaughter
and loot of Armenians Their last
raid had occurred only a month before
I arrived. and it was thought unsafe
for a Christian to be seen in their
streets. But probably they regarded
me as too harmless to be religious, for
they let me wander as pleased among
their houses and to the very top Of
their hill.
"Only in descending from this Tartar
quarter Oh EFlNdu uIu get my one
sight of Ararat All day it had been
hidden in snow and tempest, but just
after sunset l saw a zone Of purple
among the clouds, which was the solid
mountain. For time the base and top
remained hidden, but gradually the
summit cleared, and the vast cone
stood visible there alone and gray
above the world. Then for a few sec
onds it took the fading flush Of sun
set, and the SHOWS glowed with rosy
crimson. Darkness drew in. and again
It vanished in the whirling storms that
have beaten upon it all these ages
that great mountain which dominated
the history and imagination Of young
mankind"
