Tine Devoted =: xeaIs.

An eminent physician states that the
average time occupied In the process of
taking food by the people of New England
does not exceed from twelve to fifteen min
utes for each meal. Such haste is Injurious
TO health for many reasons. The progress
OF digestion begHs in the mouth with the
action Of the teeth and through the excite
ment of the saliyary glands by the presence
of food. Unless saliva is abundantly min
gled with the latter, the first act of diges
ton is obstructed. and natures plan IL
changed. This fluid not only lubricates
but acts chemically in the mouth, if a reas-
enable time be given it, upon all the starch
elements which make up the great bulk of
what We eat. When eating in haste. a
great deal of air is swallowed. Air is, to
certain extent, always entangled in the sal
iva and assists digestion, but when 'wads'
OF food succeed each other very rapidly,
they seem to act like pistons in the tube
leading from the back of the throat, and
drive before and between them into the
stomach such amounts of air as to distend
that organ and impede its functions.
Another effect of eating in this way is that
the masses of food imperfectly mixed with
saliva. become impacted in the esophagus,
checking its muscular action, which is OBJ
viously intended to propel only one piece
al a time. This embarrassment is over
come BY taking at one gulp as much fluid
as the mouth will hold, thus dstending the
elastic tube and washing the ebstructed
food into the stomach. All this is unnat-
ural. and can hardly fail to work mischief.

IN the trees where big limbs have been cut

these trimmers would give is that the low

would say they wanted to raise a crop

When ne did and should see it he

was afraid that some Of his friends in

had no friends in the whisky ring. He
had never trafficked in a gallon OF
whisky in his life; had never visited
4 distillerv; had never owned dol
lars worth of stock in one; rever had
one Of his friends involved in frauds;
never knew of them till he saw il in
the papers, and never had one Of his
friends implicated in the whisky
frauds. One man whom he had rec
commended for . position had been
indicted, and many a man has friend

Under date of Sacramento March le.
we have the following:
In the Senate tie Archer bill came up
for consideration. Lewis read q written

read more than Just SO far. Ii was all
tbs same TO him. Il was enough for
linn to be able TO cherish the assurance
that he was making of himself n cons;i-

reading one al tbs SanderSon-Felton
metaphysical essays by which it IS
proven that the constitutional unconsti-
,utionsl, an 4 the policy and regulations
of the Central Pacific Railway Company
IS the law of laws. And the indications
are that Mr.. Lewis views will prevail.
They seem to have been fcreordained by
that mysterious process undes and by
virtue of which the Central Pacific Com
pany, which is . Law unto itself. is also
q law unto the majority of the members
Of thu California Senate. OF course
Lewis speech is q mere matter Of form;
and it will strike some minds that it IS .
queer cause whose furtherance needs such
forms. Also there will be commentators
who will call attention to the fact that
this leading California Democrat. while
being conspicuous in his willingness to
gag the press, is strenuous for the IN
bridled license OF the C. P. Railway
Company to do just what they please in
prescribing the tazifi. ;reights and fares.
Tshams will lose great man when Lewis
is gathered to his Connecticut fathers.
