SoEdi6ed Stimulus.

The many people who frequently
want drop of something to make
them feel right when they are too
cold or too hot, or too wet or too dry,
or something, will rejoice to hear that
foreign chemists have discovered how
TO solidify wines and spirits. Hereai-
ter a man should be able to carry
some crumbs Of the precious stuff in
his vest pocket instead of going about
with cork protruding from a pocket
Of his coat, and instead Of inviting
his boon companions to the nearest
bar he can offer them a bracer from
a neat box no larger than cigar
case. Better yet. it is said that in the
process OF qualification the liquor
loses its smell, so no man after re-
freshing himself need rack his brain
for plausible explanations to make to
his wife about the aroma Of cloves or
coffee that he exhales. Under the
new and solid dispensation the cork
screw will not, as heretofore, be the
most important portion of travel
ers baggage, aud even in Boston the
wayfaring man will be able to stimu-
late in full sight without being arrest
ed. When election day is about due
a candidate will not need to keeI
"open house" at every rum shop il
his district; he need only carry q
pocketiul of neat little boxes of solid
lied patriotic inspiration and distrib
ute them freely.

Proposed Uniform Time Service.

The Signal Service authorities have
planned an extension Of time service,
in this and other Atlantic ports, which
promises to have some far reaching re.
suits. Nearly all the vessels engaged
in the Atlantic trade regulate their
time by the Greenwich standard,
which from the vast predominance Of
the British marine is becoming the
conventional standard the world
over. To facilitate the testing and
regulation Of ships thermometers in
our port il is now proposed to set up
a time-ball on the high building of
the Equitable Insurance Company, to
be dropped hourly by Greenwich time.
II is also 10 contemplation to establish
a system of standard meridians at
even hour distances from Greenwich,
and the distribution Of standard time
based thereon in all our principal cit
les.
The meridian five hours Cor 1872
from Greenwich passes near Philadel-
phia. The proposition is (by disre.
garding the odd minutes) to make
Philadelphia time officially five hours
later than Greenwich time, aud the
standard for the Eastern and Middle
States. 1t is reasonably held that to
the 12,0O0,0O0 people within twelve
minutes Of the Philadelphia meridian
the practical convenience of uniform
time will vastly outweigh the theoret-
ical inconvenience of having their
time uniformly few minutes too fast
or too slow. The next standard hour
line would fall near the meridian of
st. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans,
making the time Of the Mississippi
Valley exactly one hour later than
that OF the East. Two other hour lines
would cross the country near Denver,
Colorado. aud near San Francisco,
California. This would give four
standards for the whole country, in
stead of the forty now existing
Scientific American.

4 Letter from California.


hda'' Interior Io~'SaI'
a copy of your excellent paper
has found its way into one OF the
households OF the far West. Think
ing that few lines from California
would be OF interest to an Eastern
reader, | have determined TO write
small contribution II you think it
worth publishing
California is a far'famed country;
therefore will attempt nothing but
common place remarks. Farming is
carried ON on grand scale. Farms
are called ranches, and some Of the
largest and most beautiful Of the
world are in this country. Many
ranches comprise from two thousand
to fifteen thousand acres OF land. The
land Is plowed in the winter and
spring, or as IS termed, summer fall
lowed; 1t Is sown down IN grain the
next fall, and the rains are all that
the farmer hopes for until they come.
These are ioyfully welcomed, for they
insure good crops. On these large
ranches the gang pillow is used exclu'
sively, with six and eight horse or
mule teams. Its nothing new or I'M
usual to see from thirty to sixty-four
horses or mules working all in sight
OF each other. The hired men fare
rather rough; at least It would sound
50 TO an Eastern people. They furnish
Their own bed (which Is a pair OF
blankets), and sleep IN the barn.
There Is always cook'house, and a
Chinaman to cook Tor the hired men.
No matter what the elegance OF the
family dwelling the cook'house and
hired men are entirely distinct. When
supper Is over the men roll up in
their blankets and sleep until the
sound OF the foreman's voice calls
them to harness horses and prepare
Tor breakfast and work. Al, or be-
tore sunrise and often earlier they
are plodding up and down the long
burrows when the gram is grown

season OF the year, which is the last
OF January, the country presents any
thing but wintry appearance. The
fields are green with growing grain.
In our new part OF this country, six
miles West OF Red Bluf, the ranches
are small. The fields are dotted here
and there with scattering oaks. The
soil is 80 gravelly that three or four
years ago il was considered fit for
nothing but sheep range. But now

Kiss Ne. Mamma.

"Kiss me, mamma, before sleep.
How simple boom, and yet how
soothing to the little suppliant is that
soft gentle kiss. The little head sinks
contentedly on the pillow, for all is
peace and happiness within. The
bright eyes close the rosy lips part
in asweet smile, for the little heart is
revealing in the bright and sunny
dream of innocence.
Yes, kiss it, mamma, FOR that good.
night kiss will linger in its memory
when the giver lies Wondering in the

tie mothers kiss has cheered many a

has been the beacon light to illumine
his desolate heart. for remember life
has many a stormy billow to cross, a
rugged path to climb. aud we know
not what is in store for the little one
so sweetly slumbering with no care or
sorrow to disturb its peaceful dreams.
The parched aud fevered lips will be-
come dewy again, as recollection
brings to the sufferers couch a moth

your little ones ere they sleep; there
is magic power in that kiss that will
endure even 10 the end of life,
