Our Ccnstantinople correspondent’ writes: It it not generally known that! there exists among Turkish ladies of high c’rss a kind of caste feeling similar to that prevailing among Hindoos. It takes the form of a fear of contamination from the outer world and is only . observed, as far as I know, by those | wh ' cannot afford to keep servants in | sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies . always wash their hands at a tap from which the water runs Intc a marble) basin. They will turn on the tap when they are just going to wash, but when : they hare finished they let the water) run till somebody shuts it off. as to d> it themselves would make them un-j clean. They cannot open or shat a door, as the handle would be unclean, so a slave is generally kept bandy for the purpose. One of these fastidious ladies was talking to a small niece the other day | who had just received a present of a beautiful doll from Taris. The child; presently laid the doll on the lady’s. lap. who was horrified and or! red the child to take it away. As the little girl j w dd not move it and no servant was near, and the lady would be defiled by i touching a doll that was brought from ’ abroad, the only thing she could think I of was to jump up and let the doll fall, I which broke to pieces. The same lady, will not open a letter coming by post, ‘ but a servant opens it and holds it i near her for her to read. If her handkerchief falls to the ground. It is immediately destroyed or given away, so that she should not use it again. This' curious state of exclusiveness or fanaticism exists. I am told, in many of the large harems. Among men it is not practiced.—London Telegraph.
