Farming Under the Sea. What can't be done in New England In the way of" turning an honest pen ny," can't be done anywhere. Here is one of the ways In which Bcituate, Mass., turns over $50,000 a year. The fact is not generally known, that within three hours ride of Boston a large and profitable busluess has been carried on since 1848, along the seashore, and which is nothing more or less than "farming under the sea." Everywhere upon the coast of eastern New England may be found, about ten feet below the water mark, the lichen known as the carrageen, the "Irish Moss," of com merce. It may be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere, and yet the little sea port of Bcituate is almost the only place in the country where it is gathered and cured. This is the great center of the moss business in the country, and the entire Union draws its supplies from those beaches. Long rakes are used in tilling this marine farm, and it does not take long to All the many dories that await the lichen, torn from its salty, rocky bed. The husbands and fathers gather the moss from the s$a, and the wives and daughters prepare it for the market. Bonk it in water and it will melt away to jelly. Boil it with milk and a delicious white and creamy blano mange is the result. The anual product is from ten to fifteen thousand barrels, and it brings $50,000 into the town, which sum is shared by some one hun dred and fifty families. Its consumption in the manufacture of lager beer is very large, and the entire beer interest in the country draws its supplies from the Scituate beaches, as the importation from Ireland has almost ceased. It is generally known that the moss, as an article of food, is called " Sea Moss Fa rina." Egg Eating Hens. I wish to give your readers a little of my experience regarding egg eating hens. I once had a very line lot of B. B. It. Games, and thought a good deal of them, but after all the care I gave them they were mean enough to eat their eggs as soon as laid. Day after day I went to my coop for eggs, but in vain , I did not get so much as a sight of one. I tried almost everything I could think of, but still in vain. At last I thought I would play a trick on them, so I got an egg and broke the butt open large enough to let out the inside. Then I mixed up some good strong mustard and filled it full, putting a piece of shell over the part broken. I went to my coop and put the egg in the nest. I had no sooner dropped the egg than one of my hens bounced on it like a cat on a mouse. She stuck her bill in and dropped the egg on the floor (not wailing for me to retire.) No sooner did it touch the floor than the rest of the fowls went for their share ; they got it, all of them. They left a little for manner's sake It result ed (the joke ) in my gathering my eggs the next day, and I have not had any occasion to repeat the experiment until last week when I tried it with the same result, and since then I gather eggs every day. Poultry Yard. Australia Farm Troubles. A plague of rabbits is upon some por tions of the Australian colonies. Far mers shoot, trap and poison them, and legislatures have tried in vain to rid the country of the evil. Poison is the most convenient and expeditious agent get employed, but it can only be used in winter when green food is scarce. A man on horseback then takes a quantity of oats that have been treated with strychnine and scatters them through the fields and in the woods. In a single night hundreds of rabbits have thus been destroyed. An ordinary trap is used in summer, great numbers being set every night, and a man is employed to watch them and to rest one whenever a rabbit is caught. The animals' skins arell removed and packed -into bales for transport to England, where they sell for two pence or three pence per pound. Experiments, it is said, have shown that the flesh of rabbits destroyed by strychnine is not injured by the poison, and it is freely eaten in Austra lia by the farmers. The supply; how ever, is so great that many dead rabbits are left lie on the ground, where the crows and wild cats find and make away with them in great numbers. A Lady's Wish. "Oh, how I do wish my skin was as clear and soft as yours,", said a lady to her friend. " You can easily make it so," answered the friend. "How?" in quired the first lady. " By using Hop Bitters, that makes pure rich blood and . "blooming health. It done It for me, as you observe." 50 2t The Port Wiiittibr calls It " a complete suo cess." Acts upon the render like a tonlo. The edltorl nl department Is especially strong. Boston Transcript.

ItHpurpoRt and metnod will bethnanie an in the pant: To present all the news in a readable Bhaif ami tn tell the truth thouKh the heaveim fall. THE SUN has been, is, and will continue to be fn depenueut ul everybody aud everythiiiK save the truth and its own eonvictioiiH of duty. That is the only pol icy au honest newspaper need have. That is the policy which has worn for this newspaper the confidence and friendship of a wider constituency than wan ever eu Joypd by any other American Journal. THE HUN is the newspaper for the people,. It Is not for the rich man au-ainst the poor man, or for the poor man against the rich man, put it seeka to do equal Jus tice to all interests in the community. It Is not the or Kn of any person, class, sect or party. There need be no mystery alxMit its loves and hates. It is for the hon est man against the roKnes every time. It is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, And for ihe holiest Republican as against the dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue from the utterances: of any politician or political organization. It Rives itn support unreservedly when men or measures are in agreement with the Constitution and with the princi ples upon which this Republic was founded for thb people. Whenever the Constitution ami constitutional principles are violated as in the outriweous conspira cy of 1H7H, by which a man not elected was placed in the President's ottice, where he still remains it siM'aksout for the rifht. That is THE SUN'S idraof indepen dence. In this respect there will be no change iu its programme for 1879. The Son has fairly earned the hearty hatred of ras cals, frauds, hum buys of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the year l7ft, than in 178, 1W77, or any year n-one by. The Sao will continue to shine of the wicked with unmitigated briKUtnexs. While the lessons of the pant should be constantly kept before the people, The Son does uot propose to make itself in 187H a mavazine of ancient history. It is printed for the men aud woman of to-day, whose con. ceru is chiefly with the affairs of to-day. It has both thedisiMtKitionandtheabilty to afford its readers the promptest, fullest, and most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To thiB end the resources twlnnizinu- to well-established proa perity will be liberally employed. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend au extraordinary siKfiificance to the events of the oomiut year. The discussions of the press, the delmtes and acts of Congress, aud the movements of the lcrders iu every section of the Republican wilt have a direct Ivear iiitfon the Presidential election of 1 mho an event which must be rewarded with the most anxious Interest by every patriotic American, whatever hi political ideas or alleiauce. To these elements of interest may le added the propility that the Democrats will control both houses of Ciiuirress, the increasing febleness of the fraudulent Admiuistration.and thespreadaiid strength ening everywhere of a healthy abhorance of fraud in any form. To present with accuracy and clearness the exact situation in each of its varying phases, and to expound, according to it well-known methods, the pn ncipies that should truide us through the labyrinth, will be au ini.ortant iart of The Huh'm work for lH7tt. We have the means of makiufr The Son, as a politi cal, literary and a general newspaper, more eutertain iute aud more useful than ever before; and we uie&u to apply them freely.
