Anaemia,

The word anaemia is of modern orr
gin. It was first mentioned by Albert
Michel in 1892 in thesis entitled DE
Anaemia." However, If the nomencla-
ture is new, the morbid condition indi-
Gated by the word was at all times
well known. Hippocrates devoted sew
eral pages to description Of this par
ticular condition, but Halle was the
first to apply the term to a malady
which was prevalent in 1902 among the
miners Of Amin, in the north of
France, and Of which he gave a detail
ed description.

Linco1n's Opinion of Marriage.

Abraham Lincoln once remarked that
every man about to marry should
stand over a doctor with a club and
make him tell the truth in reference
to the chosen partner for life if there
was no other way Of getting it out Of
him. Also that the parents who would
allow a girl to marry a man without
knowing, as nearly as could be known,
his physical as well as his moral con-
dition deserved to be scalped.
1.-THE whole marrying business is
wrong" said Mr.. Lincoln. "Fashiona-
BILE girls have too often foolish moth
ers, who care for nothing but to sell
their flesh and blood to the highest

RECENT DEATHS.
Balch.

Romano Balch, who has been confined
to his home on the Danville road most of
the time since October 10. when he sus-
tanned a shock, was stricken with an
other about December 16, from which he
scarcely recovered consciousness before
his death which occurred last Friday.
Mr.. Balch was born in Lyndon, June
II, 1852, and was married at st. Johns
bury August Is. 1872. to Miss Abbie
Leighton, who died in 1888. In 1884 he
was married to Miss Luella Stanton,
who with three sons survive him. Mr..
Balch learned the machinist's trade in the
old Paddock shop and for the past ~
years has been conspicuous figure and
an honored workman in the beam room
of the scale works, in which he was a
jobber. In addition to this he carried on
his farm, overtaxing his strength, caus-
ing his health to break down. when he
should have been in his prime. Mr.. Balch
formed large circle of friends through
the organization OF Masons, Odd Eel
lows, and the New England Order OF
Protection, who were well represented
at his funeral, which took place at his
home Sunday afternoon. Rev. ]. Nd.
Frost, pastor of Grace Methodist church,
which the deceased attended last on
December II, called upon Rev. A. F.
Walch to read the scriptures and speak
of the relation of Mr. Balch to the
raternal societies to which he belonged.
Among the relatives present were Mrs.
Temple of Burke, cousin, and Mrs.
Spencer of Lyndon, niece. The three
sons. Harry. Benson and Lyle, who with
their mother are so sadly bereaved but
wonderfully sustained in their affection,
have the sympathy OF very many staunch
friends.
1.-THE weary man, life's long day done,
Looks lovingly at his last sun,
Sees all friends fade. fears night begun,
But by remembered mercies made
To feel, tho dying, undismayed,
Glides into glory unafraid."

Mullen states that he did question the man Flynn as to where he came from, and was in vestigating his case, and that he and Flynn together went to the Marshal's once, where he was questioned, and all they had to say was talked over in a quiet manner by themselves. there being no one else present.
