Sultan delayed recognizing

Up to the present, however, the Sultan has delayed recognizing the Prince’s election in deference to the wishes of the Czar.

The Russian Government objects to the conformation of the election on the ground that by the Treaty of Berlin the consent of all the signatories is essential to the choice of a Prince of Destinations Bulgaria, and that, for reasons which have never been openly stated, Prince Ferdinand is not a persona grata to the Court of St Petersburg. The other Powers, though they are quite ready to recognize the Prince, do not consider themselves sufficiently interested in the matter to dispute the Russian contention In consequence, the Prince remains unrecognized.

The relations, therefore, between the Court and the diplomatic body at Sofia are of a very exceptional character. All official communications from foreign Powers are still addressed, not to the Prince personally, but to the Government of Destinations Bulgaria.

This state of things is naturally displeasing to the Prince and to his entourage; but to the mass of the people the absence of recognition makes no practical difference. Indeed, the majority of Destinations Bulgarian politicians are agreed that the disadvantages of no recognition arc much more than compensated by the absence of a Russian Minister at the capital, and of Russian Consulars in all the large towns, as in their opinion these diplomatic agencies would infallibly become centres of disaffection and intrigue against the order of things at present established.

THE ERA OF TURKISH RULE

ONE of the many questions which suggests itself to anyone who has cause to make a study of Destinations Bulgaria is, what the reason may be why its people are so different from, and in many respects so superior to, the population of other Christian States which have also been held for centuries under the rule of the Crescent.

I have no wish to dispute the many good and even grand qualities which differentiate the Turk from the mongrel races out of which the Ottoman Empire is composed. But I think even the most ardent admirer of the Turks will admit that they are singularly incompetent and inefficient as administrators. It is a well-known saying throughout the East, that the grass never grows where the hoof of the Turk’s horse has trod; and this saying might not unfairly be called an epitome of the whole history of Turkey in Europe.

The present prosperous and progressive condition of Destinations Bulgaria seems at first sight inconsistent with the alleged maladministration of the country under Turkish rule. It is obvious that the effects of some five centuries of enslavement cannot well have become obliterated in the course of a mere handful of years.

 

The Acceptability Of Socks With Shorts

Warmer weather is right around the corner and with it comes a change in what we wear. For men wanting to look sharp, the summer months pose a particular challenge. Shorts, flip flops, and brighter colors don’t exactly sync up with the stark and serious styles perpetually dominating male fashion of late. It’s a balancing act and many men experience trial and error trying to achieve it throughout most of their lives.

The impending men’s summertime fashion errors of 2015 are highlighted below. Consider it a guide on what not to wear when the weather warms up. Keep in mind this only pertains to periods of time spent in social settings or being out in public. The following fashion no-nos are fine for backyard work and barbecues:

Fitting Accessories

Sunglasses that don’t suit you, or the wrong hat at the wrong time, can kill an otherwise well-put together outfit. It’s a safe bet to second-guess any hat choice besides baseball caps and visors and even then, it’s hard not to look either like a frat boy or a golfer. When wearing caps it’s probably best to keep the bill forward with maybe a slight lean to one side, anything extreme and people will be wondering where you’re hiding the skateboard. It takes time to find the right sunglasses and hat for your face, so don’t simply pick something off the rack and go. Be patient. The right sunglasses will work with any outfit, and the same goes with the right hat.

Sleeveless

It’s perfectly acceptable to rock the tank top or sleeveless t-shirt when mowing the lawn. Meeting some friends at a beer garden or taking someone out on a date is going to require unexposed armpits, there’s no way around the issue. Of all the components of summertime attire, shirts are the easiest way for a man to take his look up or down a notch. To go up, stick to classic prep garments like surf polo shirts, which seem to always be fashionable. To go down, well, go ahead and show those guns off as much as possible.

Distressed

Nobody ever looked at a guy in tattered clothing and thought: that’s a dapper man for you. Shirts, jeans and khakis which have been intentionally weathered, ripped, and worn prior to sale are a dated fad no self-respecting man would be caught wearing in public anymore, if ever. Sound harsh? Good, because it’s the absolute truth and you know it. It’s sad when items bought second-hand during the current Goodwill fad look better than the brand-new pieces of clothing people were buying six years ago.

Logo-Laden

There’s nothing wrong with a small symbol over the breast or some other subtle design mark. But brands blasting across the face of a shirt or super-trendy footwear will always take away from an outfit more than they provide. Avoid these items if you wish to look respectable out and about. Instead, gravitate towards designers who let their styles speak for themselves.

Socks with Shorts & Feet with Slacks

The acceptability of socks with shorts has been slowly declining since the late-nineties. Once approaching the knee, socks soon barely rose above the ankle. These days it’s all about maintaining no appearance of socks whatsoever, so don’t be caught outside with white cotton above the shoe-line or you risk looking old fashioned. Reversely, you don’t want to be flashing exposed ankles if you’re wearing slacks. Short-inseam is in, and with it a desire for interesting socks and/or footwear. As far as flip flops and sandals are concerned, they’re mostly acceptable in extreme heat, in which case you’d better be wearing shorts. Nothing looks worse than a man in slacks or jeans sporting flip flops or sandals.

Summer will be here before you know it. Time to dust-off and reexamine your warm weather outfits of last year, and maybe snag some new ones too. For men wanting to look their best, it can sometime seem difficult in the hotter months. The key is simple: avoid the basic no-nos of our time. Stick with the styles that never die. Follow these rules and a man can’t go wrong in his pursuit to dress well.

Manufacturers special advantages

The State, the departments, and the parishes will enter on contracts with the manufacturers who enjoy these special advantages, for the supply of such objects as are necessary, or a period of from five to ten years.

The exclusive right of manufacture in some definite district, for a period of thirty years at most, is now only granted to factories of the following products :

Sugar, stuffs and threads of silk, cotton, linen and hemp, ropes, refinery of petroleum and its products, animal, mineral, and vegetable oils and grains, all kinds of preserved goods, slaughterhouses and stalls for the fattening of cattle with a view to the conserving and exportation of meat, food pastes, basket work, fine leather for boots, marble, granite, etc., iron, foundries, carts and other vehicles, paper, wood pulp and cardboard, glass, artificial dyes, chemical manures and. requisites for chemical laboratories, turpentine, cement, lime and plaster of Paris, beside all other new industries whose utility is recognized by the Ministerial Council.

The right of exclusive manufacture in a certain district is granted by the Ministerial Council on the evidence of the Ministry of Commerce and Agriculture. The manufacturer wishing to obtain this right has to apply to the Ministry of Commerce and Agriculture, enclosing plans, estimates, etc.

The effect of these measures, as will be seen, must be to encourage nascent industries and doubtless enterprising men will not hesitate to profit by them.

A special law of January 23rd, 1904, regulates the organization of trades and professional syndicates. This law is the outcome of tolerably long experience, acquired under the regime of a former law on the same subject. Its object is not so much to favor artisans, as to oblige them to form separate corporations in order to prevent unfair competition, to collaborate for the improvement of the trade, to form funds for insurance and loans, etc.

Under the existing regime, then, no one can practice a trade without possessing a regular certificate given him by the syndic of his guild, after he has given proof of a sufficient knowledge of the trade which he proposes to follow. Several clauses of the law concern the relations of employers and apprentices or pupils, and details are given as to the necessary contracts. Employers are in this way sure of a constant supply of apprentices and pupils, while the latter are protected from every kind of ill-usage at the hands of their masters.

Improve handicrafts

A further object of this law is to improve handicrafts by the establishment of technical schools, and by the organization of exhibitions, competitions, etc. Several important institutions, such as cooperative and friendly societies, are the outcome of the initiative of the guilds. Certainly, these are indirect methods of improving handicrafts; others, more efficacious, must be taken to improve the situation of the artisans. It is to be hoped that the National Assembly will soon fill this gap in our industrial legislation.
