schlagers begin to play about their heads close watch is kept upon them in case they finch or draw back their heads. If they do they disgrace their corps Finally one sword lands and sprinkle of blood appears. If it is not likely to cause a severe scar the fight continues until at last a cun- ming snick does the trick. The sur geon who is at hand is allowed to try his prentice hand-he is often first year "med"-and the wound is bound up or sewn Then an adjournment is made and the evening is spent with beer and song. The wounded one receives his congratulations and stalks about in an ecstacy of joy. If he thinks his scar is not going to be beautiful enough he may keep the wound open for days and prevent it's rapid healing.
 But there are other duels besides those of the sword. There is the hon. orable drinking trial, where he who succeeds longest in delaying his de- scent to below the table is crowned.
