Even its managetent became & matter of grave im-, portance. The Tartars estimated the Persians 88 10 better- than infidels, forasmuch- aa they would not sdopt their custon of cutting’ the® whiskers. - A long and 'sanguinary ‘war was waged, owing to. their obstinacy, Which arosa from s national Bense of homor. 8o- highly, did . the Persians value the beard that according to Bt..Chrysostom, their Kings b this natursl appendage woven or matted with gold thread. is style of hirsute ornamenta- tion was improved upon in subsequent ages by the rulers of France, who had their Howin, beards fastened with gold buttons.

The Turks still adhers to this custom. "On c¢- casions of staid visits one of the ceremonies cb. served is to sprinkle ecented water on the beard of the visitant, and then to perfume it with aloes wood. 3 { Among the ancient Greeks and Romans the beard was an_object of great” veneration. Not only 8o, but it was considered o possess some occult charm, and regarded 25 & sacred pledgs. of confidence -and protection. According to the Grecian mythology, when Thetis .sought: “to .avenge the- wrongs - of her son; she' embracod the . knees of Jupiter and touched his ‘beard in supplication. . Another illustration of this is presented in the plaintive story of Dolon and Diomed. The former thwi\;t. if hé could but tonch the warrior's beard his life would not have been forfeited: - The-Greeks did not commence to discard the beard until time of Alexander .the Great, who ordered the Macedonians to cut off the same simplyasa. precautionary measure, lest when in battle such would afford the enemy sn undue advantage. .This practice was abandoned in Justinian's reign, . when long beards- once moro came into vogue. The philosoghm, however, alwsys distinguished themselves from the vulgar in this respect, by- suffering _ their beards to grow, irrespective of” the imperial mandste o the contrary. = . ‘i With the Normans the bearfl was held in ab~: horrence, somewhat similar to the ancient Briv tons, who contented themselves with the culti- vation of hair on the npper lip. The besrd, howaver, was allowed to grow by the Anglo-Sax- ons. - When William the Conquerer, among other acts of oppression, compelled the English $0 cut off their beards, the edict was regarded s ' » wanton display of authority and tyrrany.
