One would think, in this nineteenth century
when . intelligent Turks, by ' travel," must have
gained a valuable fund of information relating to
social life, that the laws relating-to the govern

great a tyrant toward . his mother, wives aud
J daughters to-day as lie was centuries ago. Woman
Jives a pitiable lire in Turkey, circumscribed as
she is in all the amenitles'which, elsewliere' exer
cised, Impart a charm to Hie female character. In
fact, the Turk is little better than a brute In his
treatment .oX woman. He makes no. .attempt to
educate her, but by a series ol , unreasonable exac
tions keeps her reuueeti to a Condition' of almost
Childish ignorance. No wonder, then, that with
instincts altogether '-de'praved,, Turkey ' should
