FRANKLIN STlRS THE FRENCH
ing as American Minister at
Paris.

Benjamin Franklin, as American
minister to France, sowed the seeds of
the French revolution and of constitu-
tional government in Europe, accord
ing to DIR. David Jayne Hill, formerly
ambassador to Germany.
franklin became craze" Doctor
Hill said recently, "and undoubtedly
was one of the greatest diplomatists in
our history. His picture was every
where and everywhere he was courted.
Among other places where he was in
vited was to the Society Of Nine Sis
tiers and other Free Mason organiza-
tons. In these he preached constitu-
tionalism In an adroit fashion. Later
he became the venerable of the Nine
Sisters and became acquainted with
men who later figured prominently in
the revolution.
"But when Franklin arrived in
France there was no inkling of revo-
luton there. He did not preach against
the king who received him. There was
no secret conspiracy or anything of
that sort. Franklin merely used those
organizations as q means Of propagat-
ing constitutional doctrines. 1t might
be called his school Of constitutional
ISM"
Doctor Hill said that while Franklin
lived at Passy he had small printing
press in his home. 1t was generally
said that this was used by the minister
to print "bagatelles," or bits of rhyme,
as u sort Of hobby, because Franklin
once had been printer. But he en-
ployed compositor at one time and
ordered large quantities of type, and
it is believed that he used the printing
press to propagate his doctrines.

WHAT DECAYED TEETH COST
Are More Injurious to the Health Of
Humanity Than Strong
Drink.

Decayed teeth are causing more
harm to the human race than alcohol.
DIR. Alfred G. Zones of Bridgeport,
Conn, says that approximately 95,0O0,-
600 of persons in the United States
have decayed teeth, notes Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Dentistry's next step,
in his opinion, is to wipe out or pre-
vent tooth decay by a systematic cam
paign Of education on the care Of the
teeth among schoolchildren.
How shall this be done? Bridge
ports plan has attracted wide atten-
ton already. Every child In that city
submits to thorough examination of
the mouth and is given free treatment.
This type Of clinic costs about 80
cents per child per year. The city as
sumes one-half the responsibility in
educating and helping the children to
preserve their teeth. The other half,
which is placed on the child and its
parents, consists in providing proper
food and in caring for the mouth.

CONCRETING IN COLD WEATHER.

Concrete work is now carried on
almost regardless of season and tenn
perature. This is because the re-
aurements leading to the success OF
concrete work done when tempera-
lures are low have become so gem
orally known that contractors, &C.
ment products manufacturers, farm
ers and other users of concrete are
now able to do concreting sometimes
throughout the year, thus finding
profitable employment for time that
might otherwise be idle. BY observ-
ing some simple and easily applied
rules for preparing concrete mix
lures, then using a few simple means
to protect the freshly placed con-
crete, the resulting work will be just
as successful as though carried on
during warmer weather. The farmer
can keep his farm hands busy during
spare time in the winter, making
s-nall concrete watering troughs and
tanks, and laying barn and other in
terror concrete floors.

SOLDIER BOY WRITES FROM EAST.
ERN CAMP.

Casual Camp, Governors Island, N. Y,
Monday Evening, 1880, Nov. IL, IT.
Editor Democrat:
We have now been on this island
fifteen days and shall try to write
you few lines tonight and tell you
of our stay here. It's been awfully
tough, and will try to make you see
before I get done.
To begin with I have not received
much mail these last two weeks; just
one, letter, one card, and the papers
sent to me by The Democrat. Well
I'll tell you there is nothing that will
make "a soldier forget the blues any
quicker than a letter. from home, or
that girl back in Iowa. This noon
just after coming in from drill I re-
ceived four letters, one from home
and I'll tell you, it made me feel good
I leave it to any one else in the Sec
ond platoon under Lieut.. Leroy

rotten and very discouraging. It
seems by reading these last letters
that my mail must be some place else
Perhaps it has made the ocean trip.
was greatly pleased to receive
copies Of The. Democrat and I want
to thank you in behalf of the company,
and especially those who are from
Manchester. It seemed like there was
. Manchester fellow in every tent
when l began distributing the papers,
and in some Of the tents they wanted
10 paper anyway to read. As mail has
been scarce to them too, hope to re-
ceive the papers every week.
Saturday evening we were put under
quarantine for measles. The first
case broke out about a week ago,
then there was from one to four and
five in this battalion every day. Well,
I don't know why, but they took a
notion to move us again and Friday
morning we were relieved from guard
and Saturday morning, instead Of in
spection, Major Stanley gave us a
talk on what we should and couldn't
do on this trip. We began packing up
in preparation to leave, but about
1890 we received different orders,
and chain guard was put around
this camp. Sunday morning Major
gave US another talk, telling us that
he was going to look after us and
make our confinement as pleasant as
possible. He says that we can con-
slider ourselves lucky for we might
have been quarantined on the boat
or in foreign port. We can't go be-
yond the bounds of this battalion
camp, and no one is allowed to come
in, and speedy preparations are being

their shoes for fear they would do
something contrary to the rules and
regulations laid down to us. They
are very numerous and run like this:
Two days confinement going on guard
without shoes shined; seven days for
a private and fourteen for corporal
standing inspection without shoes
shined; standing at attention in the
company street for thirty minutes each
day until relieved, for talking in the
ranks when the company is standing
at attention; an hours extra drill
day until relieved for missing a for
nation; two weeks confinement to
quarters with extra duty for missing
roll call, and it's confinement for this
and extra duty for that.
On Tuesday our lieutenant gave us
talk and relieved us from our two
weeks confinement and Wednesday we
were paid off. Well, that helped you
know, and some sixty of us felt pref
ty good when the first sergeant took
us to town that night on a blank pass.
In order to get off this island one must
have a pass and in order to get one
he must be one of the first twenty-six
names to go in the night before.
Thursday and Friday we drilled, as
usual. Our schedule calls for four
and one-half hours day, from eight
to nine thirty of calthenics, and close
order drill, from ten to eleyen-thirty
is bayonette and extended order drill !;
and at one we go out for signalling and
position; aiming and trigger squeeze
exercises. Retreat is at four-thirty,
and supper at five. a.
These are not bad hours, but it's
what I have tried to explein that makes
us all want to leave this prominent
island as badly as we wanted to leave
the boat. Here we are, penned up, just
five cents" from greater New York,
one of the greatest cities in the world.
We feel like sheep in bare field,
with green grass and water just over
the fence.
These two weeks have been the long
est two weeks that I have ever seen
in the army. I think now that we are
pretty sure to stay here for three more
weeks and perhaps all winter
I could tell you quite few small in
cidents that would interest you, and
especially Of my two nights on Broad
way, but will come to quick time and
call a halt
In closing I will mention that I re-
ceived a scarf knitted by Mrs. Mont
gomery and it came in mighty handy
on guard the other night. I think the
soldiers should be very thankful for
the work done by the Red Cross.

made to stamp out the disease.
E. NJ. DANIELS, Mgr.

We started in wrong on this island
We landed at night and in the rain.
Sunday we worked all day fixing our
tents. We went from $3.50 Saturday
afternoon until 1890 Sunday morning
without anything to eat, and then it
was only bacon, hard tack, prunes and
coffee Monday we started in drilling
but in the afternoon we got the or
ders that storm was coming and to
secure our tents. Sure enough, Tues
day morning it began raining and it
sure did rain. Well, at the sound Of
first call the well-known voice of our
sergeant was heard to say "How's this
squad?" The corporals reported "All
accounted for" and every one pulled
the covers over his head for good
old nap. Everyone supposed it to be
check roll call, but alas! it was not
SO for the Lieutenant's voice rang
out, Everybody out for roll CALL"
Well, the consequences were that we
were about fifteen minutes late on
the line only.to find out that the whole
second platoon was confined to camp
for two weeks, with extra detail. That
was the punishment for being late for
roll call. Well, I think there were
many of us that just expressed our
opinions under our breath, and sulked
back to our tents through the mud.
Talk about extra detail, we'll, don't
think any Of our fellows in the ninth
squad will forget that day spent on
kitchen police. It rained and we
growled, and it rained again, and
when we came back to the tents at
1880 we hardly had a dry stitch on our
backs. The next morning some of us
talked like frogs croak, and others
swallowed like chickens drink water.
1t was a cold day but it passed un-
eventful. Wednesday load Of wood
was brought to our company and
everyone made a mad rush to grab
what he could. Well, Major Veneer
able, who is in charge Of this camp,
didn't like the soldierly conduct
guess, so he ordered this company
confined to quarters for twenty-four
hours, just on general principles.
Everyone drilled and things went pref
ty smoothly Thursday and Friday, but
Saturday was inspection.
We were inspected by the regular
army officers and were again confined
to quarters because we didn't make a
good enough showing.
Well, it did seem good to get on land
again, but we don't like this drilling
under the eyes of the big guns" as
the officers say. Monday passed but
1 believe everyone was trembling in
