They prohibit the sale to natives; but they

Caste Among Turkish Women.
From the London Telegraph,

Our Constantinople correspondent writes:
1T is not generally known that there ex-
lists among Turkish ladies of high class a
kind of caste feeling similar to that pre-
vailing among the Hindus. 1t takes the
form of a fear of contamination from the
outer werld, and is only observed, as far
as 1 know. by those who cannot afford to
keep servants in sufficient numbers. Be-
fore meals ladies always wash their hands
at a tap from which the water runs into a
marble basin. They will turn on the tap
when they are just going to wash, but
when they have finished they let the water
run till somsbody shuts 1t off, as to do it
themselves would make them unc.ean
They cannot open or shut door. as the
handle would be unclean, SO slave is

lone of these fastidious ladies was talk
ing to small niece the other day who
had Just received a present of a beautiful
doll from Paris. The child presently laid
the doll on the lady's lap. who was horrl-
fed. and ordered the child to take 1t away.
