PROMPT AND EFFICIENT.-Our fire
department is certainly prompt and eff
clent, and we take pleasure in saying so.-
Our citizens owe their exemption from
great losses by fire to the energy and
promptitude of the fire brigade. Two no.
table instances have lately occurred show
ing the extraordinary facility with which
the machines are handled in cases of danger.
We allude to the fire on Main street, oppo-
site the market, and that of Saturday night,
on Bank street. In both cases the build
ings We're of the most combustible charac-
ter, being wooden and dry as tinder. In
both cases, too, the flames were speedily
suppressed, and the total destruction of the
buildings themselves prevented. All honor
to the Richmond firemen.

WOVEN FABRICS FROM RABBITS HAIR The
Austrian Exhibition Ga-ette calls attention to new
and important industry, VIE. the incorporation Of
rabbits hair with wool and cotton in weaving tex
Tile fabrics. The shorter hairs which are incspa-
ble of being woven, are readily purchased by felt
hat manufacturers at e3 pound. When properly
prepared the hair affords good strong yarn, which
is said to be in way inferior to wool. II oil that
the Austrian journal says the subject be true the
raising Of rabbits will soon become an important
business No animal is better adapted to raising
ON large scale than the RABBIT they multiply al
most as rapidly as white mice and are not confined
to any particular climate. ltisrather remarkable
that this use of the hair has not been thought Of
before, particularly when We consider how many
hundred million rabbits are annually destroyed
The meat OF the rabbit is agreeable and nourishng
and the skins have long been PRICED. The Austrian
Ga-ette anticipates that an important industry will
grow out OF the successful introduction of rabbit
hair weaving in all countries

Charles Dickens upon his last visit TO This

however, undoubtedly have many peculiar

adopted here on o small scale.

DRINKING WATER.-Drinking wine Is habit !;
30 is drinking spirits, ale, cider, coffee and
water. The last is thought necessity; but to
drink much Is ahabit. Some people drink lit
tle-Iot because their constitutions require
less than others; it is their habit. These peo-
ple never perspire 80 much as those who drink
more. The more that is drunk, the more wa
ter passes away, or the system would suffer.
AS it is, the strain affects it. The skin, the
kidneys, bowels, lungs, all are drawn upon.
The result Ia, as may be naturally expected,
exhaustion. For this reason, the man who
drinks much water, particularly during the
summer and in the hottest weather, Is less
able 10 endure fatigue. The water is Of no
benefit 10 hIm-that is, the excess. It must
pass away, and this requires an effort Of the
system, which Is the sweating process. Had
he not used the excess of water, he would not
have persplred 30; it would not have been
there for the system to expel. 1t Is habit 10
drink wafer so much; false thirst Is created.
We shohld drink only what is needed. The
habit OF drinking more will soon be overcome,
and the person will feel much stronger, and
more capable Of bearing fatigue. In winter,
little fluid is needed beyond what our food
furnishes; in summer, some more, but NOT
much.-Country Gentleman.
