La Boxe Francaise.

La boxe Franchise claims, both as n
gymnastic exercise and as means of
self-defense, to be a decided improve
ment on the English method.
1t originated In the old savate. a di.
version much In favor with "souten.
eurs" early in the '3Os. These saveiters
knew, however, no more than the lower
kick and doubling up Of the leg, and
made very little use of either the fists,
or the high kicks now aimed at head
chest and sides. A professor of the
savate, by name Michel Pisseux, mum.
bered among his pupils the Duke Of
Orleans and Lord Seymour, a noble
man well known In Paris in the 40s;
and, indeed, many fashionable young
men of the day purposely learned the
savate that they might better meet the
attacks of the roughs who frequented
In force the public balls, and resented
In practical manner any advances to
the ladies of their own set.
Now the originator Of the modern
boxe Franchise was unquestionably
Charles Lecour, who, having thorough
ly mastered the savate, perceived that
1t was but an incomplete art. He de-
voted the whole of his mind to its per-
fection, and his attention was soon
drawn to the great advantages of box.
ing as taught in England. He saw that,
whereas the hands were in the French
method mainly weapons of defense, the
leg and foot monopolizing the attack,
the Englishman, on the contrary, used
the arms and fists for the latter pur-
pose, regarding the legs as springs,
which helped him to close with or get
away from his opponent, as circum-
stances might require. Both systems
appeared to Lecour to want compile
tion, and his next move was to leave
Paris for London and place himself
under Swift and Adams. Having ac-
1uired the tricks of these then famous
professors, he returned to Paris to put
INTO practice his theories of the com.
)ined methods.-London Critic.

and cabinet shop went down the river
together. This would have disgusted
many man with the business. But the
indomitable energy displayed by the
enterprising Green triumphed over all
difficulties and much more substantial

were erected and Green at last reaped
the reward Of perseverance. Now

The explorations of Pike, Schoolcrafr
and others had been so thorough as to
determine every rapid of size likely to
become profitable as a water power.
The pioneers following close on the
trail of the explorers saw golden oppor-
tunitles to utilize the river to their ad-
vantage. Attempts to bride the flow of
the water were not to the liking of old
Mississippi, however, and many of the
first dams were carried away down the
stream before they were scarcely COM
pleted. John Green, in 1S4S, discov-
cred at point where the river was
broad, series Of falls rivaling in latent
strength old st. Anthony's. Green
named the discovery Little Falls. The
locality suited him and he built dam
across part Of the stream; cut down
enough Of the surrounding forest to
build him a sawmill, and to furnish him
material to work on. About this time
settlers were pouring into that part of
the territory thick and fast and Green's
mill was rushed far beyond It's capacity
to supply the demand for sawed lum-
Der. Just about the time when work
was at its best section of his dam
gave way and necessitated long shut
down for repairs. Green was not dis
couraged, however, and material being
plenty and help at hand, he set to work
and built much stronger dam. He
also improved his mill and other build.

though established under Government
auspices, had died a natural death be-
cause Of the poor quality Of the product.
However, the poorness of the product
was no fault OF the millers.
The demand for sawed lumber with
which to build Fort Smelling had mean.
time resulted in the erection Of a saw
mill-the first one to derive its power
from the Mississippi. The building
was near the site Of the old flour mill.
In 1S4S, one year before the territory Of
Minnesota was organized. work was
commenced upon a dam and sawmlll
on the east side of the river, which were
finished and In operation the following
spring. Improvements of substantial
character were not commenced on the
west side Of the stream, however, until
the year 1856, when the Minneapolis
Mil Company was organized and erect
ed the first mill built by citizens of that
side OF the stream. Now near the site
of that little Government -four mill
stand palatial stone structures where
over 100000 barrels Of the finest
-four in the world are manufactured
yearly by the waters of st. Anthony's
falls. The dam and establishments at
st. Anthony's are the largest on the
river. The great dam is an object worth
crossing the continent to examine. Over
10000 horse power are generated by the
river at this point. Gone are the prim-
tive sawmllls from the east and west
banks of the river, and in their places
are mills Of magnificent size that turn
out in the neighborhood Of 600,0OO,0O0
feet of lumber annually. The dams at
this point on the river are marvels of
skill and Improvements are
being added yearly.

wooLEN GOODS ACTIVE.
Prove an Exception to Duiiness shown
in Other Lines.
Bradstreet's review says:


Bradstreet's review says:
Exceptions to the quiet and even
dullness shown by the many linesot
trade and speculation are found in the
active demand for wooden goods for
next fall's delivery, and in the active
call for dry goods on spring account.
In the latter direction, prices show
special strength, and the bulk OF the
business placed in woolens has been at
an advance OF 25 TO 40 per cent. In
other lines, notable steadiness is shown
In prices. Weather conditions through
out the country part Of the week have
been against trade In seasonable goods,
and there is very general complaint of
large stocks OF winter goods in the
hands OF this branch Of trade. Another
effect Of the usually mild weather is
that shown in the Northwestern lum-
Der business. The lack OF snow will
probably insure reduction on the cut
OF last year, and this, combined with
smaller stocks, points to at least a
maintenance Of present lumber quota
tions.
Woolen manufacturers have consti-
tuted an exception to the general quiet.
They opened the'- order books this
week, and an unu ally heavy volume
Of business ia reported 10 have been re-
corded. Cotton goods are reported in
good demand in nearly all markets,
and the confidence as TO spring business
in dry goods and clothing is notable
feature, in sharp contrast, in fact, with
the reports received from retailers as to
the present seasons business In winter
wear goods. Scarcity OF water is COM

A7OooHoRsE POWER DAM ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

to the st. Croix falls on the steamer
Palmyra, damned the stream and built
a sawmill. Two towns, Taylor's Falls
and ST. Croix, were built alongside the
stream, the former in Minnesota, the
latter in Wisconsin, and material i'm.
provements were made upon the great
logging stream as time went by.
Aside from the Mississippi, tributary
rivers have been developed for power in
much the same way. H. H. Graham In
1854 built a two-room farmhouse and a
backwoods mill with two run of stone
at Hastings, Mimi, on the Vermillion
River, tributary to the Mississippi.
He built no sawmill as was the custom
of other settlers, for the simple reason
that the stream did not wind its sim
uous course through timber lands. From
that small start great establishments
have arisen.
Although most of the enterprises de-
scribed in this article have eventually
been crowned with success, one must
not think there were no failures. Many
attempts to turn the great Mississippi
into channels of usefulness have been
marked by great disaster. The work of
years might be swept away in a single
night But the hardy settlers did not
despair, nor did those who came after
them, and to-day the falls of the males

sources of motive power in the world.
The Mississippi in years gone by was
the great highway between North and
South. Great steamboats, piled their
busy trade up and down the stream:
logs by the million were, and still are.
fioated on its current, as well as on its
tributaries. The constantly changing
course Of this peculiar river has long
been source of wonderment to the
world. and it is principally for this rea-
son that the railroads have usurped so
much of the traffic that formerly went
down the river. A station might be on
the river one week and Isolated from If
the next in spite of the efforts of man
to keep it within bounds. Therefore II
