Rents In New York.

For houses in fifth avenue between
Tenth street and Ffty-sixth street says
the San, the rents are all the way from
81, 800 to s15, 900 a year. The ordinary
Fifth avenue house rents for s., 600 OF
Sc, 900, while 81, 900 and Sc, 600 rents are
common, but Madison avenue has taken
the place Of Fifth avenue as a residence
street, and four-story high-stoop brown
stone houses there rent for from s., 900
to s., 900, according to locality and fin
ish, and even at those rates there are
not many houses to rent. In the quiet
cross streets between Madison and Park
avenues and between Madison and Fifth
emu four-story high-stoop brown
stone houses rent for from 81, 900 to$4,-
500. EVENT. Lexington avenne, from
Twenty-ninth to S~uemtyAi1A street,
three-story high-stoop brown-stone
houses rent for from $500 to 8, 600 a
year. Throughout the city, where sep
arate houses are to be hired, the rents
range about the figures given. For in
stance, a four-story high-stoop brown
stone house in West Washington square
rents for s., 900; - three story high-Aoop
brick house in East Tenth street, near
University place, for $4,000 o. 81. 500; a
four-story high-stoop brick house in

kind of a house in West Thirty-fourth
street, near Fifth avenue, for S 1900; in
east Fifty-seventh street, with a little
better finish, S., 1000. In short, for the
money that is required as rent for a first

car buy ground and a house in the sub
urbs, within an hours ride of the City
Hall in various directions. All the
prlces thus far given are for unfinished
houses. For similar houses furnished
the prices range from $500 to 800 a
month, and no house can be had except
Oh the best references and good security.

HOW TO GROW THIN.
The Bnntipg System as Applied to Fat
People,.

II NAV here be said by one who has
studied this subject thoroughly thai
Banting's book is Of little value as a
guide to an individual who eats at an
American table. Many Of the articles Of
food which bounteous nature provides SO
lavishly in this country are unknown in
England, and consequently no reference
is made to them by Banting; for in
stance, corn, sweet potatoes, 0 bread,
buckwhcat cakes, pies, squash, and
other viands too numerous to mention.
Biscuits, milk toast, w~afiies, and flannel
cakes never appear upon an English
table. Furthermore, Banting is silent
about soup, which a person DESTROYS OF
decreasing his weight should avoid If it
is thick.
The Banting plan should not be
entered into without medical advice, and
the change should be made gradually.
1t is best to select some n article to
abstain from at the beginnjng-say
butter, then bread, sugar, milk, and
potatoes. Pork and veal should not be
eaten, though a little ham is OCCASION
ally allowable. Pastry and all farinaceous
articles are to be looked at, and not
eaten. lee cream must be passed by.
A broad rule about vegetables is to con
fine ones self to those that are green,
except peas, which are very fattening.
Eggs and all sorts Of fish except salmon
may be eaten. Coffee is said to be
f~attening, especially when milk and
sugar are added. Morning and night
the true disciple of Banting should
drink the juice of a lemon. With the
loss Of the first few pounds of flesh he
will be alarmed and surprised at finding
himself growing suddenly weak, almost
to the point of fainting. This feeling is
due to depriving the system of the food
to which it has been accustomed, and
will wear off as the "obesity cure is
persevercd in, as will also the haggard-
ness of the face; but this latter will not
occur until one has dieted for two or
three years. There are few people who
are capable of seli-denial for SO long
a period; the worst of the system is that
unless fasting is most stubbornly adj
hered to, u heshes up Immediately.
If, for instance, after long abstinence,
the stomach becomes a bowling wilder
ness; if, as in "Blade O. Grass's" case,
there seems to he q tiger there ravenous
for food, and the patient yields and par
takes Of one, aye, but one, good square
meal, the lost pounds of flesh imme-
diately gallop back upon the bones, as it
waited back by a single wave of a
magician's wand. Eternal abstinence
is the only price Of ~leanness.

Exclusion Of American Products.

The bill reported to the United States
Senate from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, by Senator Miller. of Cali
fofnia, in response to resolution of the
Senate of January % last, directing
that committee to report such legislation
as shall protect the United States against
those governments which have prohibited
or restrained the importation of meats
from the United Statesy provides that
there shall be instituted, under the di-
rectjon Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, a system of inspection of sailed
pork and bacon intcded for expectation,
and to be exported within sixty days
after the date upon which the same may
have been sailed and packed, SO hat the
fact OF the %innoxious and wholesome
character of the article shall be estab.
lished by the best, highest and most re-
liable proof, this inspection to be made
at the principal ports Of the United
States by the customs officers; also that
the President Of the United States be
authorized at his discretion to exclude
from the United States by proclamation
any product of any foreign State which
Ivy unjust discrimination prohibits the
importation Of any product of the
United States. 1t provides further that
the importation into the United States
Of any adu!terated or unwholesome food
or vlrous, splrltuous or malt liquors,
adultera.ed or mixed with any poisonous
or noxious chemical, drug or other in
gredient injurious to the health, shall
/ hereafter be prohibited under penalty of
line or imprisonment, or both; the Presi-
dent to he authorized Ia his discretion
to suspend the importation of articles of
this character approximation when he
becomes satisfied that they are adulter-
ated TO m extent injurious to the health
Of the public.

do not advertise to cure al diseases from one
bottle. as is done generally by many other
medicine men. but [ supposed NarnerS Safe
Cure was for the care Of rheumatism"
And 50 it has teen until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia. was introduced. We have been
three years letfecting ibis new remedy.
Study first taught Us thore were certain
powerful elements i'll Warmers Safe cure,
better known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, that ma Q wonderful cures in
chronic and acute rheuma ism, but during
our investigatiOn, We learned Of q renark

perts to investigate and found that the
springs id not contain any va uabie prop
critics, but the course OF trea that was
being given Their was performing all the
benefit. BY carefully combining the active
principles of this remedy with oar Safccure,
we have produced our Safe Rheumatic Cure,
and the cures it is e~ffecting are Simply Won
derful, and l do not doubt it will become as
popular a, our Safe Cure"
'You seem to talk freely in reyarl togyour
remedies and appear to have no secrets, Mr..
Warner
None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred diseases, Is
neces: a:i.y compelled to guess at q great
deal. We are enabled to follow up and per-
feet. while physicians can only experiment
with their hundred patients and hundred dis
eases. With the ordinary physician, the code
binds him down, so thai if he makes a dis
covery, he is bound to give it to the other
pnysic ans. which, Of course, ~dEcourageS in
v~estigation, to a great extent. This is why
the great discoveries in medical Silence of
late years have been mad by chemists and
scientists and not by physicians, aud it in a
measure accounts for the great value Of Que
remedies, also for the remarkable success OF
! all those doctors who make a speciality Of one
NOr two diseases
"And you find that you are curing as great
q number Of people as ever before =
Eyes, a far greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now and
never knew Of SO many remarkable cures"
The writer departe after the above inter.
view, but was greatly impressed, not only by
the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, but by the vast
ness of all he saw. Mr.. Warmers medicines
are used throughout the entire length and
breadth OF the land, and we doubt not the re-
suit they are enecting are really as wonder
full as they are related to be.

Reveries Of q Bachelor.

The true "Reveries of a Bachelor" is
yet to be written. Thescene will not be
laid in a country house, but in the top
story of q boarding-house, or may be in
a room just about large enough to en-
able n good-sized person to turn
around in it, there will be no wood fire
there, with dying embers to glow and
pale, there will be no fire at all there.
unless it be the steadily burning, always
redolent fire OF the kerosene stove; The re
will be no toying of the wind in rough
play with the shaky. bricks and loose
mortar of the chimney, but the adjacent
roofs near at hand will be alive with cats
raising rasping shrieks to another
In such 8 room, among such. surround-I
ings, the bachelor begins to think seri-
ousIv OF married life, as he sits clumsily
trying to thread the needle with which
be will more clumsily sew on the button
that must be made to stay ere he can
sally forth a presen.able biped. Did it
never strike you why the modern shirt is
fastened from end TO end with studs, and
trousers nave fancy catches in places

Poor White Trash.
The poor white is an institution know

The poor white is an institution known
only in the slave States, writes D. r.
Locke to the Toledo Bladc.- He is a
man who has no ancestry, no history.
no nothing. He may own a patch OF
very poor land somewhere on the hills.
where land is so poor that no one else
wants it, and on that is q cabin which
only such as he would live in fkom
choice. It is quite as wretched as the
cabin, in the south of Ireland; but the
difference is, the Irish live in them from
c%ompulsion. The mild climate makes
living in such novels in something like
comfort possible, for except in excep-
tional seasons fuel is not necessary, ex-
cept for cooking purposes, and as they
have very little to cook, that doesn't
bother them very much. Tie inside Of
the house needs no especial finish, nor
the outside either, for that matter. H.
deed, q house at all is we'll nigh super
fuous for these people. It is useful
when it rains, or during the few weeks
of cold weather. They live by all solts
Of work that is not exactly work. AS
for clothing, that is the last thing they
think of. A garment is worn so long as
? a thread of it remains, and as it is re-
placed only at long intervals, should not
