The pump ut the new water works of the
Augusta w alter Co., at the west end of the rail
road bridge, started up yesterday for the first
time, on trial. 1t is n Knowles pump, No.
b. and worked like charm. The reservoir
is located 1000 feet FROM and l22 feet above
the pumping station. The station is ii feet
above the surface of the river, making total
elevation of 1873 feet " hich the water is forced.
When the pump is in full operation
it discharges 200 gallons a minute into the
reservoir. The water is taken from the GEN.
ter channel of the river beyond the 9TH pier of
the bridge and is therefore perfectly pure. The
water pipe has already been laid on the river
bed. This pumping station has cost the COM
pany about $500, and will assure to them
even in the severest drouth an abundant sup
ply of water 1t is not necessary to use the
pump at the present time, as there is great
supply of water in the reservoir derived from
the usual sources. The pump can be ar
arranged so that in case of fire several lead
ing hose can be attached and water carried to
any part of Water street.

\ HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF SHOES.

A singular addition has been made to the
Cluny Museum. It was the curious fashion
of the great engrayer, Jacquenard, to col
lect the boots and shoes of all times and
countries, and in gratifying this special
taste he was at once both connoisseur and
artist He knew the actual value of these
curiosities, and he also knew how useful
they would be to srttsts whose subjects
were taken from earlier periods in history.
When a man has perfected his collection,
but two courses are open to him-to break it
up or leave il to the nation. Jules Jaoque-
nard did the latter, and the gallery just
opened at the Cluny Museum is without a
rival in it's completeness and in its interest.
The heavy top-boots and leggings of the
warriors of the middle ages are here, evil
dencing " abundance of grease and absence
of Day & Martin" which Carlyle so insist-
ed on as characteristic of Frederick the
Greats war costume Other cases are full
of little slippers and high-heeled shoes Of
the beauties of the eighteenth century.
From this collection it would seem that the
lady's boot, as it was worn 8 few years sgo,
buttening up few inches above the ankle,
and, in effect acting as kind of bandage
round the lower part of the foot, was not
very popular, and that, whether from mo.
tive of vanity or hygiene the district round
the ankle was allowed the advantage Of
free circulation. We have latterly revert
ed to this excellent fashion, but if some
collectors were in a hundred years to pre-
sent oar South Kensington Museum with a
collection of English shoes of the nine.
teenth century. it would be found that
heels are still in antagonism to health as
they were in the eighteenth, Pail Mall

ORIGIN OF STATE FAIRs.-The present
system of fairs and cattle shows originated
with Elkanah Watson, an Albany mer-
chant, about 1910. His application to Bos-
ton for guarantee funds was met by ex-
President Adams with terse rebuff
"You will get no aid from Boston. Com
merce, literature, theology, medicine, the
university and university politics are all
against YOU" Nevertheless the more liberal
Legislature of New York in 1919 appropri-
ated $4,000 year for six years, to be d.
vided among its counties for the encour-
agement of agriculture and manufactures.
In 1918, several months before the passage
of this Act, several of the prominent citi-
zens of Washington county met in the
Courthouse at Sandy Hill and organized a
County Agricultural Society. The frstre.
corded fair was held st Salem in 1922, with
entries for premiums, blowing match,
"plowmen in white frocks," and an ad-
dress delivered in the church. Fairs on a
less scale had been held every year before
this in Argyle, Greenwich, Hebron, Gran
vile, Whitehall and Kingsbury. The
prizes were email and the rewards scanty,
The whols awards numbered scarcely 100.
