In the British MedicaL journal Dir. w.
Roberts, of England, discusses the effect o.
liquor. tea, cofTeo and cocoa on digestion. All
of them retard the chemical processes but
most of them stimulate the glandular actlv-
ity and muscular contractio IS. Distilled
spirits ret7rd the salvary or p 'ptic digestion
but slightly when spaTnglY used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious to
saivary digestion. On peptic digestion all
wines exert retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular nctlv-
ity on the stomach. Elfervescent wines eX-
crit the greatest amount of good with the
least harm to digestion. When ones digcs-
ton is out OF order everything goes awry, un
less, as in the case of T. T. Seals of Belaire,
Ohio, who had bad dyspepsia for seven years,
the digestive apparatus is kept in applet pie

best appetite producer and regulator in the
world.
Tea, oven in minute quantities, completely
paralyzes the action of the saliva The tau.

Mesrs, Patton & Creighton, arch itects, are just finishing up the plans and specifications for the new Normal School building, shortly to be erected at Tempe. The ground plan shows building 60by 70 feet on the ground, which will be divi- ded into four large rooms 30 by 30 feet. The whole building will be surrounded by ten-foot veranda. The front elevation shows a hand some brick structure of one high story, surmounted by a Mansard roof. The windows are all French, reaching down to the floor, and the lower half of them paneled. Tran soms will be placed over each win dow, thus making 8 great abund- ance of light and ventilation. On one side of the hall the rooms are separated by folding partition, by which means the two rooms can be opened out into one large elegant hall, 30 by 60 feet. The building will be both pretty and convenient for the purpose intended, when it is fnished.-Phenix Herald.

THE MEXICAN SCORPION.
From the San Francisco chrOnicle.J

iFron the San Francisco ChronieleI
 The most common of these pests are the scorpions-alcarans-f they become hale and hearty grand parents within twenty-four hours, and their numerous progeny are forever darting everywhere with in- conceivable rapidity, their tails, which hold the sting, ready to fly up at a moments warning. They are in the wall, between the brick of the floor, lurking within your garments. Turn up a corner of the rug or the table cloth and you dis turb an interesting family of them pick up your shoes in the morning and out they flop; in short, every article you touch must be treated like dose of medicine-"t to be well shaken before taken" The common variety hereabout are about three inches long, and the yellowish brown ones are consid- cred most poisonous. In Durango they are black, and so alarmingly numerous that the authorities offer rewards-so much per tail-to the boys for killing them. Their sting is usually fatal to a child, and more or less severe in its effects on adults, according to the state of the sys- tenn. Some have been known to recover after remaining for eight days foaming at the mouth in con- vulsions, and with the stomach swollen as in dropsy; others, by prompt and energetic treatment do not suffer much. The favorite remedies are brandy, taken in suf- fcient quantities to stupefy the patient; guiacum, ammonia and boiled milk. It is said that the scorpions have the poor taste to prefer dark people to fair ones, and that their sting is most to be ap- prehended at midday. My irresist- ible Betsy has become expert in catching them with lassos of thread, after which we suspend, the head downward, in bottles of alcohol, to send to microscopically in- clined friend at the north. The h. dians eat them, after extracting the sting-as delightful a morceau, no doubt, as crabs, clans, frogs, snails and similar delicacies of civiliza- tion; but I beg to be excused from | rendering other than hearsay testi- mony on the subject.

We come unarmed and on a peaceful mission

The whole trouble arises out Of the pre-
cautions of fanatical temperance men, who
propose to seize and open all the baggage
of the guests and confscate any liquors
found in the packages. This is an unwar-
ranted interference, and does not reflect
credit upon the hosts of the Grand Army.
The laws of Maine are, of course, entitled

the seizure of the baggage of traveller

said that the guests must be presumed to

The following, from the Gait Gaaettc, is
the experience of many who have left this
county and gone to Los Angeles in hope of
lettering their condition;
a Cattle has just returned from an ex-
tensiye tour Of the southern counties. dur
ing which time he made Los Angeles his
headquarters, He went down with a good
opinion Of the country, and was favorably
impreSsed with the southern metropolis on
arrival. The beautiful orange groves, gi-
gantic pepper trees, salubriouS climate,
sociable people, etc, convinced the young
man from Gait that the City of Angeles
was indeed an earthly paradise. AS far as
appeara ces indicated, the place was de-
sirable one for residence, but on investiga
ton he found the surrounding country a
poor place for an active business man, and
the city greatly overdone in every avenue
of trade. The newspapers had misrepre-
scented the country and succeeded in entic-
ing immigration TO buy land at fabulous
prices and live on climate-H found
many idle men in town trying to get money
enough To get out of the country, and bar
vest hands working for six bits n day.
Crops were n failure and business of all
kinds extremely dull. He thought it
might be well enough TO live in Los
Angeles, but as business point the city
was not to be considered. The gentleman
came back to Gait feeling that southern
California is not whatit is cracked up to be,
and perfectly satisfied to remain in Gait,
which he thinks is good enough for him.
The gentleman in question is not the
only one in this vicinity who knows Los
Angeles is greatly uverrated, and that
either Sacramento or Stockton offers
greater advantages TO home-seekers and
business men than any other towns in the
State The cities named are not only
noted for their spirit of enterprise. but they
nave got what Los Angeles calls back
country" enough to build and sustain
large cities While Los Angeles has had
all the advantages brought 10 bear in in
ducing capital and immigration to build a
prosperous city, she has failed. simply be-
cause there is nothing there but climate,
mixed in with good deal of fog in the
summer time Had one-half the advertis-
ing been bestowed upon Sacramento or
Stockton that Los Angeles has enjoyed,
there would have been a more rapid and
substantial growth of the two places. Los
Angeles has seen her best days, and
Northern and Central California is claim
ing attention more generally than for years
past.
