The most remarkable thing about Lord Sal
tsbury's personal appearance is his beard. Mr..
Gladstone. Lord Beaconsfleld. Lord Russell.
Lord Palmerston. Lord Derby. Lord Aberdeen.
sir Robert Peel. the Duke Of wellington. Lord
Melbourne. and tho other Prime Ministers Of
the nineteenth century wore only side whis-
kera Before their time. for two centuries, tho
custom was TO shave close. At the present day
boards are more common in tho House Of
Lords than in the House Of Commons. because
4 good many elderly men wear them. but in
either House beard makes a man decidedly
noticeable. Lord Spencer. formerly Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland. wears big. rough beard.
and Lord Lathom. the present Lord Chamber
lain. wears red beard that extends almost
down to his waist.
OF all the Prime Ministers In 300 years Lord
Salisbury Is tho first to wear beard. II It
were not for his great. dubious forehead and
long. aggressive nose his beard would seem to
cover the whole face OF the man and con stitute
his whole individuality. The Duke OF Devon
shire. who also wears a beard. Is said to have
more "you-be -damnedness" about him than
any other nobleman in England. But Lord
Salisbury runs him close He is the very typo
OF the strong minded. bull-headed. good-tem-
pered English aristocrat and shows 1t in his
appearance as In his words and acts.
