CITY ITEMS.
A Food Tiiearitre from the Ska. If tho tea in its
wrath has swallowed np an enormous amount of pro'
perty, it has mora than balanced the account by giving
ns in return many inestimable treasures. One of those
is the nutiitious sa mots growing npon its otherwise
barren shores, and cropping out from wave-washed
rocks
"That stand far out in ocean like pilgrims from the land."
Iloro, if disposed to air our botany, we might volunteer
a technical description of the varieties of the crypt-
ognmio order to which the sea lichens belong; but our
proBent object being simply utilitarian and practical, we
only propose to show that the more valuable of all the
sea mosses the Carrageen or Irish Moei has been ren
dared, by a new process of manufacture, far superior to
any article of its class heretofore introduced either In
Kurope or America.
The now preparation of this marine vegetable (if it may
be so called) was patonted only a f ow weeks ago under the
name of Sea Moss Faiune, and its purity, palatability,
and extraordinary nvtrimontul properties are attested by
competent scientific authority, and by those still more
potential evidenoos of excellence general popularity and
extensive sales. The addition toonr national bill of faro
of an article whioh is claimed to be pre eminently econo
mic, as well as peculiarly wholesome, nourishing, and de
licious, is a matter of great interest to the public, and,
therefore, a proper subject of nownpaper comment. Ao
cordingly, the attention of the press, in all parts
of the country, has been attracted to this new pro
duct, or rather this new manufacture of a natural
product woll known to the sciontino world for its fatten
ing, strength-sustaining qualities. Editors and news
paper correxpondents in all parts of the country soem to
huve investigated the moritsof the Soa Moss Farine
pretty thoroughly. It has beon subjected to the expori
mcntum crucis in numberless kitchens, and to the oriti
eiun of numberless epicurean palates, and the result, as
far as we can judge, is a universal verdict in its favor.
It baB been placod, so to speak, in the front rank of our
food stuples, and all that has been said of it by tho pat
entce (Mr. Rand), and the Company interested in its
sale, appears to be approved and confirmed by publio
opinion.
Its usob, as set forth by the reports of soiontitic ex
perta, are many and various, la tbe lirat place, when em
ployed in the preparation of puddings, custards, blano
mange, creams, gruels, and soores of other dolioacios for
tho family table or the sick room, it adds largely to tbe
quantity of nutriment derivublo from the other mite
rials; and in thesecond place rondors the disb, whatever
it may be, far more digoxtiblo and agroeablo to tbo taste
ban it would have been without this cheap and pure in
gredicnt. Such is the testimony of a large number of the
most prominent hotel keepers in New Y'ork and othor
cities, and of a committee appointed by the Farmers'
Club of tbe American Iustituteto pronouuee judgmenton
the new edible, lbe committee of ladies, among
whom was nn eminent modicul graduate and the wife of
tho Secretary of the Institute, state in their report that
a packet of Sea Moss Farine, costing twenty-tire cents,
will produce, when combined with milk in due propor
tion, full sixteen quarts of blano mange, while. a packet
of corn starch, inaizona or farina, costing sixteon cents,
will only produce, with the like quantity of milk, trom
four to six quarts thus allowing that the new food sta
ple is actually worth, as a moans of nourishment, about
one hundred and fitj ;w rrnf. mar. than the heretofore
popular preparations from maize and grain. It is also
stated that it has none of thehoa'ing properties of ordi
nary farinaceous food, and is digested and assimilated
with wonderful rapidity.
As far as we can judge, the conclusions at whioh the
scientitio world, tbe preus, and tbe publio have arrived
with regard to Rand's Sea Mesa Farine are fonndod on
incontrovertible facts, and we have no hesitation in
warmly recommending the article to our readers as an
essential of tbe economia ouisine, and as a genuine lux
ury. To dyspoptios we fool assured it will prove an in
valuable blessing, it it manufactured by a company
with ample means (located at Mo. 53 Park place, New
Yoik), known as tbeBea MowFarine Company.
