How the German STUDENTS Fight their


"DueIS."- What we call, for want of a
better name, the "due!s" of the German
students, are Of two kinds. The sabre
duel, which very rarely takes place, is a
serious business, but the ordinary duel
with small swords, called 'Pankerei," is
little more than a trial of skill. or what
the French call an assault d'armes. The
combatants do frequently get cuts on the
face, which 3is the only part Of the person
exposed, but German stuaentilooks up
on, these as marks of honor,gand considers
that slick on tho nose or the cheek is a
decided improvement to his personal ap-
pearance. 9# ri
Before meeting his adversary. each
man puts on a great pad. which extends
under the arms to below tha knee. Folds
of silk are wound round the neck forming
a high acd very hot cravat, and the arms
are also covered with silk. On the head
is worn Il thick cap, with a long peak.
IN fighting, the men keepfthe right arm
over the face, make their cuts with great
rapidity, and Immediately resume guard.
As an additional precaution, each man
has a second who guards the blows of the
opposite man, sosthat often two swords
ars intrrposed against blow. When
swords have been crossed for few se-
conds an umpire cries: "Halt,s. and I'M
mediately he does So the combatants are
obliged to drop their swords; They re-
tire for moment, and when the word is
given, advance again. So the duel proce-
eds in number Of these " rounds" till
swords have been crossed fifteen minutes,
when the affair is over.
