Wormed last summer of the destrue-
Ln of an electric cable In Tonquin by
Bieattacksof termites. The cable cross-
I a marshy tract nnd was enclosed in

i the tube nud completely destroyed

proposed to guard the cable against

Iklieved, would prove a fatal poison to

Ilors. He desired to Introduce some
evidence favorable to his case, but It

strong objection as often from the

true that ailments of the body onum

fluenced by them, would be ln sound
health; or, if disease Is not produced,

Agreeable emotions set lu motion
nervous currents which stimulate

grief, disappointment of feeling, and
brooding over present sorrows or past
mistakes depress all the vital forces.
