No Social Barriers In Turkey.

To those unfamiliar with Turkish
customs it may seem strange that
Talaak Pasha, who has just resigned
the highest dignity in the Ottoman en-
pire, should have been earning his liv-
ing only few years ago as an obscure
telegraph clerk. Yet such big jumps
are perhaps easier in Turkey than in
any other. country. For although the
Ottoman Turks often show the utmost
contempt for the numerous subject
races that help to make up the Turk
ish empire, they recognize no social
barriers among themselves. In the
eyes of the sultan all are equal. Thus
it may easily happen that, given the
necessary ability, even an emancipated
Ottoman slave may become grand vi
zier, and perhaps marry into the sui
tan's own family.
