Deep Drinking.

In a German university the man who
can drink a quart of beer without tax
ing breath is not hero, but only an
ordinary student, says writer in the
London Chronicle. At the German
kneipe, or club meeting for the drink
ing of beer and the singing Of students
songs, there is a special challenge to
bier kong deer king contest. The
huge pots are filed, the duelists face
each other and at the word Of com
mand they drink. The first who can
invert an empty pot and sputter bier
kong" wins.
Drinking without going to the trou-
BILE of swallowing is thus described by
the same writer: "This form Of friend
" duel has evolved method Of drink
ing that may be seen in Egypt, where a
native seems to pour water down his
throat without that sort Of lock sys-
tenn our less educated canals demand.
A German student will bring pot and
mouth to the intimate angle, and down
goes the beer without tremor Of the
throat. This, of course. gives no pleas
ure, but to the wondering onlooker 1t
is merely an acrobatic feat"
