There is always lens suffering from hunger when it is pomd-l)lo to drink, hence profession 1 fasten urinK w.tcr ireeiy. i liXDCriments reeentlv made in a French hospital proved that fifteen days are the utmost limit that life can be supported without eu, ti ng or drinking. A vigorous man can not live longer than five days without either drink or food. Tbe suf feting is greatest during the first twenty-four hours of fasting: after that the pain imlnishea. We all know that it hunger is not satisfied it disappears after a certain time, if we do not eat at our aecustotned hour the appetite and era ins anon wear off and cease to torment us.

The greatest loss of weight occurs during the first few days ot feasting. Then a moderate drain sets in. During the last few days of starvation a considerable toe- again takes place and this ls tne forerunner ot tleatiu It was the knowledge of this physiological fact which made Sueci so anxious when toward tbe close of his lust fast he lost so much weight. Had lie not begun to pick up jutt at the very last his fast would have in death. Many scientists are of tlie opinion that tne mi ml has much to do with tbe ability to sustain a prolonged period of hun-rer.

Any one beginning' to diet forthn purpose of reduction of rat will be pleased at the en so with which the fimt ten poun-1 are got rid of and at the difficulty and slowness of parting with the second ten. The reason of this is that the hrst ten consist of surfeit stuff washed out of tbe system, bloat snd refuse in the tissues whieh is not tlie real fat, but inorganized material. After this is gone the loss becomes steady by tlie reduction of the genuine fat. Tho fasts ot the present day are short eom- paral to some of those of ancient time, if indeed they be authentic, which is omicuit or ocuef. Take the case of Catherine lander, of Heidelberg, who lived in 1587.

It is seriously recorded that she neither ate nor drank for seven years I This in followed by tlie amusing statement that she was treated by a quack, and sc- lost the taste for cold food. Another girl, in 158fi, lived on water for four yenrs. In 1604 Apollonia Schri-crer, of llerne, Switzerland, kept awake, and without food or drink, for two weeks. A girl of Spires lived three yenrs on w-ine or water. Another, Cologne, four years.

But tho most marvelous of all was the woman described by Vandermonrfe in 1760, who took nothing but a few drops of milk pccnsionnlly for twenty-aix year. The utmost limit of endurance of absolute rtarvstion has doubtless been obtained by Ilindro yogis and fakirs, who. by life-long training in asceticism, sometimes reduce tlieii anirnil leeonoiny to itch conditions of snhservienee to tlie will, that they actually seem to set nt defiance the laws eovernintr all other animal life. A yorl ceases ti take food or drink, to brenthe. and even stops the circulation of his blood, yet continue to live though to all seem ing dd.

He reduces Ms body by his will to the condition of a watch that, without bring broken or having run down, is forcibly stepped. It has inherent all requisite potentialities lor gotng, but it does not go until it is stsrted by intelligent application of a force controlled by will. And this is no mere fantastic traveler's tale, but well authenticated fact, as is demon-started in tlie following excerpt from "lsie "According to Napier, Osborne. MaJ. I wes, CJuenouillet.

The servant then began pouring warm water over the The leas and orms of the body wete shriveled end siifl, the lase full, the head reclining on the shoulder, like that of a corpse.

There was, however, a heat abont the region of the brsin which no other rart of the body exhibited." Kegrertlng that the limits of ovtr space forbid tlie quotation of the details of this interesting story, we will only add that the process of resuscitation included bathing in hot water, friction, the removal of wax and cotton pled set a from the nostrils Mid ears, the rubbing of the eyelids with ghee or clarified butter, and, wliat will appear most curious to many, tbe application of hot win a ten cake, abont an inch thick, to the top of the head." After tlie cake had been applied lor the third time, tlie body was vi-Jent-ly convulsed, the nostrils became inflated, Uie respiration ensued, and the limit assumed a natural fullness; but tlie pulsation was still faintly perceptible.

The tongue was then aunointed with ghee; the eyelmlls became dilated and recovered their natural color: and the fakir rteontei tlwsie present and spoke." It should be noticed tliat not only had tlx nostrils and ears been plugged, but the tongue lieu en thrust acK so as to elnae tlie gullet, 'thus effertually Atop-pi nil tlie orllieen against tbe admission of atmof nlierle sir.

The ijx or eoiTin containing the fakir, being buried in a vault, the earth was thrown over i and trod down, after which crop of barley was sown on the spot and sentries placed to. watch it." The Maharajah, however, was so skeptical that in apfte of all them precautions he had him, twiee in ten months duo- up and examined, and each time- he was lound to he exactly in tlie same state as wlien they had shnt him up."

Tbey Are Gocd Drinkers All, and Manage To Enjoy Them- selves. Etlquet of the Club Hall Where Dignity Is Always Found, Punishment For Offenders That Turpi Out To Co No Punishment At AIL DUEL OP THE BESS MUGS.

(Written tor tho Couitcr-J carnal.) The social life of the Swiss student is modeled on that of the Germans. Sli-ykt fKKereaees exist amongst JUe French, Swiss and tl.o numerous foreigners studying iu Switzerland; but their manifold tastes and usagvs meet in one point viz tho drinking customs of tho liuraclie." Not long ago a Cier-man wriU-r woefully exclaimed that the Cermau raca was the only one that gloried in habitual inebriety as a national virtue, and undeuiably some truth lies in his words, ilard drinking is regarded throughout all German countries, including Switzerland, as an indispensable attribute of manliness, and even, the most austere aro not overparticular in this rcspoct, if not brought to a point, where the habit has entirely untitled a man for any work. Tho student has, anyhow, tlie generally recog nized privilege of devoting tho first year or two of his studies principally or entirely to what is thero regarded as tbe blithesome life of youth. It is only when these facts are fully taken for granted that the importance of carous ing and drinking-customs are fully ap preciated. A good many university magnates Habitually indulge in the follies of their youth, and the most re- siwetable scholar does not object to oc casionally figure as a regular toper It lies in their blood.

They can not part with the mediaeval notion that hard drinking is a necessary outcome of the spirit of chivalry, and even where their cximmon sense or more serious duties interfere with the rrav.tice they still keep up tho forma and make of beiii a professional drinkins-This is not exaggerated, Fan bier-ehrlioher Keri" (a beer-honest fellow) is synonymous for sn upright, trustworthy, Courageous man. The most popular poet of theso days, Schetfel, whoso books within two or three do-cades have run through several hundred cilitions, was a terrible potator, and ultimately succumbed te bis Vice. Hut Lis songs ot glory on drinking mainly made Lis success, and are suns, by many thousands with genuine enthusiasm. Let now fo'low the invitation of one of the students' to its Kneipe" or drin king-room. It is situated In tlie upper story of a retpectablc, but otherwise decidedly third-rate, public house.

ILtving ascended the steep snd narrow stairs, we disoern by tlie dim light of an oil lamp the dub's three-colored escutch-ccn with a curious scroll, the dub's sign ot mi.nogn.m, which every member attaches Ids A we open tlie doer an Intense cder of smoke and bet streams out of the room, strong enough to stagger the unaccustomed and to et him coughing lor tlte next lew minutes. However, we gradually distinguish. amtd4 the dense clouds of smoke, two rows of small, btight-colored discs wldch we Hion discovered to I the caps of a doren or so of young men, ranged on both of a Ion, narrcw table. At the epposite end st-inds a high-backed, besutifullj" carved chair, the seat of tho "Pra.sioi.im," or chairman, a youth of twvnty-oe or so. ills high office is visibly denoted to all whom it may concern by a brand sit St scarf in the flashy hues of the club's colors, falling in heavy folds from tlie right shouhler to his left side and enveloping tlie whole of his chest.

Three young mn. apparently Fuchse' tfresh-mcn, jump up from their vtits, salute ns with a profound obeisance, snd proceed to divest u. of our hats and. Upeoats, whilst, the Kursrh." t. fellows cr established members, politely use from their pbtc and lift their miniature caps.

Having been presented by the chairman, to the whole company, we are lc to tbe of honor on eitlter side of 'tlie Pracsidi-nm" and are e-peciailr with a glnss mug of frothy Bavarian beer, containing about a pint, Herrjepon we notice another functionary, tho Fusch-major," who oectipiea the other end of the table, snd to whom tho training and command of tho Fusche" is assigned. He is rcxponsibl- for any niiMiemeanor committed by the foxes," and is endowed with absolute power over his pupils, which authority gives him the right to a scarf similar to that worn by the chairman. tloth functionaries arc, by the way, proviOtsl with a renting rapier, whose handle is protected by an immense semi-glohuiar baaket lulfc covered with cloth, in tlie three colors. soon piTOtivj the use ef hose weapons which are now lying on the table within easy rrs jh. The Fuchsmajor suddenly rises, nncov-prs his head, gives the table three or four smart raps with 'the flat of the blade, whereupon he addresses Chairman aa follows: Praet.idiuin.

I requext stlen-tiuiu for tho fores!" Tlie Chairman Rets up from his sent, strikes the tnbli in his turn, snd orders absolute silence. Then the entlman in crmimand of the "foxes" begs To inform the "corona," as every nsembly for such purpose in the student's language is called, that bis subcfci rre deeply lmprcwd by the honor conferred on them by the presence of the frewlilv-errived distinguished encsts and hat they can not but give vent to their feellnps and drink to tliem the content of their iplasses." Notij that every word is pronounci'd with a en re, and by gt-sturos thnt remind one, half of an offHer reporting to his ieneral. half of tlnntrleal court manners. Every sc at the Kneinc," from drinking one's health to requesting a stch or a song book, is performed with a polite bow, tlie cap being invariably raised. There is no mock reverence about all this; they are in grotesque as it must appear to the outsider.

Now, in this ecse the foxes" stand np, uncover their heads, and toss off their pints in a tri-e. The foreigner who first sees this remarkable dexterity in disposing of the beer Is utterly taken aback; but imagine bis dismay when he is informed that he lias to respond to every such liomsirn by drlnking same amount himself. Th are no means of getting out of it. We l.ave to rise from our seats, thank tho young men for their kindness, and the-, proceed to do justice to our mug. At first one fcl rather uncomfortalile at ibis prospect, but one soon gets accustomed to it, for Bavarian beer is not strong, as it contains but 3 per cent, of alcohol and Is.

moreover, exceedingly refreshing. ll'it we Imve s-sreely recovered from the effects of the high-flown speech, when one Burwh" after tho otlsM" be. gins to addres ns with phraes such as. I take the liberty." Allow me to drink to you." May I allow myself si quart rg? and to take a hearty pull. It would lie a supreme offense i one of hese compliments were not returned: some indulgence la.

however, exhibited toward the foreigner, whose beer-honesty- Is I assumed to be as yet incompletely de ve loped. Even tlie adept has always to be on the qui vivo in order to keep in harmony his beer duties." As thi rather absorbs one's attention, the scope of the conversation is somewhat limited. Beyond phrases of tlio kind described and other terms of the science of drinking, little else is to lie heard tliaa rereads or recent duels, drinking bouu. nd a moderate amount of scandal. Our deli ixrrat ions are scon disturbed by renewed rapping at the cni of tlie tabk.

"Sihn'ium for a castes. from the chair. Silent ium, foxts bring the from the FiishMUujor. One cf the Burseh," who s.prcara to lie Livored by tho. Mucs.

bi-gins to ptiniuh a rickety piano iu yonder, corner, and the vigorous strains of a fine old Cer.uan somr stride tbe ear, slightly damaged, however, by the txecmioi. Alcanwliile. a fox" lays before every man a voluminous song-book, the covers which are studded with high bra-a nails, in Her prevent any b-jcr spilt on the table from taking effect upon the (finding a precaution by no means unnecessary. The tune is piayed oneo nnd then the Corona- fnils in. loiieco and beer have, in the c-urnc of time, done their worlc and ivcn the vi lees a good degree of hisirwtiefis.

But sll enj-y it irnmens-e-I. and Pins, if not slway coirecily, et ii.fiiilihly leud. It does not niauer whether the words suggest a patriotic. sentiroent.il. alcoholic, pufrill-itie, r-amorous fnme cf 'Jihjd 'vcrr piece is executed liko a war-song.

When the last versa is eomf rtably dispntched the chairman strikes the tablo und shouts: Cantu exej-t, every ne drinks pro laude." And tiiey n-cd no s- warning to on-y the ortier. nl.h' uh a ple-is-ant tin-'riaitity prevails wht. health fjK leally lui iat to drunk. Now, an unhappv fox" ha omitted to clone the song-book. At first, ght nobody could tell why he should have dore othrwise.

but by leaving tlie book opou he has infringed one of the rules of the liier-commcnt," the code of laws for drinking. If ever there was method in madness we have a fine specimen it here. In some ISO paragraphs provision is made for all posMihle disturbances of order, disputes and similar occurrence. These are classified under distinct headings, according to the special punishment or other means of settling the difficulty. For all minor offennes.

such as interruption of tlte silenrium," delay in the fulfillment of beer duties, exuberance on the part of the foxes, the offender has to drink pro poena, as tlie half-German, half-Latin iargon of the. comment" de scribes it. Our fox" is accordingly or- ocrea to lmmeoiattiv dispone of tbe content of his mug. Tliis does not appear to disagree with his constitution, for he sraaenrs bis lips and winks eye at tne dignitary In command or tne table. This is considered a canital crime.

and he is instantly sent to Beer-co ver, try. l.e.. deprived of his beer- honeHty." His name is chalked on a black-board, hung up for that purpose, and Is neither allowed to address a neighbor, to drink to arty member of the corcna, nor to give any otlier sign of ms existence during h'. disgrace. one may communicate with him, under pain of the same penalty, but it is considered good-fellowship tJwt Jbs foxes" shcml.l not leave their brother-" fox" without some Consolation.

As one man they rise in a demonstrative manner, and request the honor of drink ing with their honorable frieni in distress. The chairman promptly attends to their case, sends the whole batch to Coventry, and does not forget, to include his brotlier-magistrate, for his bad edu cation of the 'foxes' corona." The LVier- as they are now called, do not eicre their undignified position, and drink within their circle as if nothing' had "happened. But before long the orders one of his subjects to uring a Tresi round of glassen, then ftands us and addresses the chairman: IYsesidium. I beg to release the corona of "foxes' from Coventry. The chair man orders silentium.

the foxes toss off their pint in a twinkl'ng. and are tnen procia.tmel to lie Deer-honest. By this time the a vera ere quantity thst each member lias got rid of is about four pints, but, beyond a considerable slackening of the courtly sirper-nolitenesa snd a gradually-increasing inclination on tlie part of the "foxes' to get boisterous, ho effect of the liquor can as yet bo perceived. And, what is more, we find, to our great surprise, that we ourselves are beginning to feel as comfortable as could be wished. One song follows the other, one time, after another a fox," or occasionally even a Burseh" is setit down to beer-Coventry, and tlie dark-brown beer" begins to tell on the human brain.

Somt times every member of the corona seems to be talking at the same tirte. and what with the din of tlie voices, the tobacco fumes, the singing, and certainly not least the Bavarian beer, an agreeable excitement gains oa ascendency over alL ixit at the rapier's rap all are quiet, save perhaps a fox" who is en jmced in the pleasant occupation of beating a tattoo on the table, or a Burseh" who takes the lilcrty to finish tiie sentence he had just begun. No invidious distinction is made between such offenders, who are kindly invited to drink pro poena "until they see tars." Toward midnight the Chairman resigns his dignity for the evening and proclaims a Bierrepnblik." Scarf and rapier are removed from tbe svene and stowed away, and now the ex-infallible ranks as a commoner. He is scarcely seated when the Burseh who was last punished calls him, by war of revenge, a Bierjunce" (beer-boy.) Now thia is an affront, demanding a certain form of satisfaction, for it is the technical insult by which a beer-scandal is provoked. Tbe cx.do of beer-laws defines a beer scandal at a dnel in whi'-ii tlie weapon is beer.

As tli explanation is in itself not very lucid, our neighbor informs us tliat tho exit of the duel depends upon tlie relatiMP rp-ecli with which a certain amount of lieer, according to the nature of tlie insult, is dispatched hy tbe combatant- The Insulted Burseh" immediately nominates sn umpire, and this gnntlemaa orders two full muga to be placed before liim. After having care-f uiy compared the quantity in each glass, and relieved the fuller of the two by a sip, hf gives the order: Sibntium for a beer-scandal between Meier and Schulzel srma sunt eoualia. Seise the one, two. three and away!" Mr. Meier merely ltt his glass, the pint disappears, and be is able to shout Bier-junge," tlie word now deciding the victory before bis less adroit adversary i able to drain his glass.

In some cases both finish and call at the tame time, so that umpire can give no decision. In this enno the performance has to he gone through again, and even for a third or four tli time, if no decided victory is re-corth'd, fore ithnt. Tlifs first heer-flnel is always the sign for numerous others, provoked with little or no reason, with the sole object in view of trying ones strength in quick drinking. This is the wo rut point in tlie wholo of the drinking-customs. Many a sound constitution has been undermined by the habit of tossing off one j'lass after tlie otlier with a speed entirely incomprehensible to the outsider.

But, then drinking and dueling are tlie only sports of the majority of the students, with the exception of a small fraction of them who are adepts at irymnaalica, and of a still smaller nnm-Ikt, scarcely worth mentioning, who imitate the manly sports ot tlieir Kng-luh-speaking comrades. By 3 o'clock we can not help making the uncharitable that our company is. simply roaring drunk." Two of the foxes" have to be literally carried home and put to bed by comilifones, a degreo i ore solier tlian themselves. Tbe above d'-scription can bo taken for an average picture of tlie German or Swiss students' t'riuking bout. Many small features the comment have been necessarily omitted, but slliey would not alter the impiesxion of the whole In the least.

1 should, bo glad to eonfe-js any exaggeration ns to the amounts of beer roafcutned, but I can not alter tho facts. I know ono Englishman who was converted from temperance to bevr-hon-esty," and who made such pro're? in beer-morals as to lie able to drink thirty pints on ono single occasion. That ic.it tnado him tlie object of general and genuine admiration. On tbe other hand.

(rMlaiSclphla Press.) Berry Wall and Howell Osborne have been typical extra vagaut youug men ia New York. But many stories about them srs exarseitioti and curry their, own rciutatiou in tiw absurdity cf tlie statement, i One of the most conspicuous of aociety who is him--lI a mem-l-er of tho Knickti bocker Club and of the CalunKt, iu cliatting rf thia nutter a day or two ago, said: I suppose tliat of the young men who' move tn our best social circle-, aud wlut are also of the 11 us Oulumtt the Union or University club, Harry Cannon rrobably e-pi-nda as much money yctuly honorably anil legit any other one.

His yearly expense's are more than Jack Astor's were, art- yet I understand tliat it has cost, him only hi-twecn and year to live. His thief expenses hav lws tlie leceptions and tens and cotil lions which he luis given, and upon-tliL-sj expense has Uen spsied. One of two other young men here who entertain bouHthing as Cannon doos may. sjicnd from SIS.COO to a year? but I venture to say tliat with very few exceptions tlte men of society; the loafcis at the club i meaning by loafers what are called in Kngland the leisure tLe xum whom tlie world calls duces or swells, do cot speud mure than $3,000 a yar. I think, if anything, th-tt is a liih estimate.

Of course, most, of these men livo at home, but thooe who do not do not average for board snd lodging more than or $0 a week. i-ven it they did live at hotels their expenses for actual cost of living will rot exceed that figure, and many of tlMMe who loom in clubs are not extravagant when tliey take their unless they iuvite a frieni to dine with, them. Club dues and the incidentals eoanccted with club life, in such clubs as the Knickerbocker or Calumet, will rarely reach more than $oOO a rear. So that I think it is safe to say, at Wss it has been my experience, tliat frenr S1.500 to fl.hOO a year will cover expenaea of these men at their clubs and for tlieir board and lodging. Those who live at Lome, of course, have no exretue of this kind except club dues.

How, it we take tlie matter of clothes, from 51,200 to S1.50O a year will dress a man in accordance with tho latest fachion, will give him, say, three changes of clothes for each of the four sesros of tlie year, and, with a very few exceptions, that is about what wel dreaded men of the clubs require. Some of them have perhaps five or six changes during the spring, summer, f.ill snd winter. Extravagance in linen nnd under. clothe- ls not a common thing, and tlio beet dressed of tho men whom I have known will not spend over 2no or a year for this part of their attim. Sle and are expensive, nnd yet I should say, on a hasty computation, that a couple of hundred dollars is a very hi-rh expenditure for those portions of attire, although tlie re are a few absurd men who have from twenty to twenty-five pair of footwear, which they have been swindled into paying-S20 or S25 a pair for.

I Bhould say that S2.500, perhaps SA.OiKt, is an outside estimate of what it ocsra a man of club and social life for Ids living and for his clothes, while ono who is fortunate enough to live at home can easily maintain himself in th best shspe. so far at clothes and club expenses are concerned, for less than Dinne-s to friends, expenses of social life, pocket money, summer travel, can he handsomely met, and I think, as a general cae are, for about a year.
