 Another favorite topic of conversation is of deeds of great intellectual power or of high moral worth. It is interesting, but not always cheerful, to be interrupted in your soup by the story of beautiful young girl who, when her family were starving, cut of slices from her own body and coaked and served them to preserve the life of her mother; neither does it add to your appetite when your are told of a model servant who had himself buried alive with the body of his dead master.

DENSE FOG IN ENGLAND.

London Completely Wrapped in a
 mist-Its Like Never Known Before
 Several Accidents.
 LONDON, Dec. 24.-A dispatch from Leeds says three men, while walking on the paths along the canals, fell into the water and were drowned. Over the Thames the fog is so thick that the oldest rivermen cannot remember when it was equalled. From London to Gravesend it appears to be even heavier than at other places, and no boatmen dare venture out
 Several persons have been killed on the railways. It is believed London has never
 before been visited by fog that has been
 so productive of death and disaster. The operations of the railways are greatly hampered by the fog, and extraordinary precautions are taken to guard against ac- cidents.
 Advices from points in eastern England show that the fog is prevalent along the whole length of the east coast. On the | river Tyne the shipping industry is almost | at standstil. Three dock constables stationed at the West India docks while performing their duties walked into the | river and were drowned. Quite a large l number of skating accidents have been re. ported. Near Elgin, Scotland, three boys, skating on the Lossie, were drowned
 through the breaking of the ice.

The Kansas Statesman's Remains
 Laid at Rest at His Home in Em-
 poria.
 EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec. 24.-The remains of the late Senator Plumb were buried to- day. The flags on the public buildings were displayed at half mast and nearly all the business houses and private residences were draped in mourning. The services of the day commenced with private funeral services at the family residence, at which only members of the family, the congress sional delegations and few chosen friends were present. The services consisted only of a prayer by Rev. Dr. Cordley and the hymn Abide With Me-" sung by the choir of the Congregational church. A procession was formed in front of the | residence to escort the funeral car to the church. At the church the casket was placed upon 8 catafalque raised on a dais and the lid being removed the features of ! the distinguished Kansan were exposed to
 the gaze of the people, who as they passed | the funeral bier placed upon it flowers, | wreaths and various floral designs. At | o'clock funeral services were held at the church, at the conclusion of which the | procession proceeded to the cemetery l where the remains of the senator were placed in their last resting place.
 l Among those present at the funeral were | Governor Humphrey and his staff, the
 state officers, members of the legislature,
 various civic and military organizations
 and delegations from business: political
 and social organizations from various

Table Talk in China.

 Conversation at the table of Chin>1e gentleman is on high plane. It is>fera- ry rather than intellectual, YGlniscent rather than original. At tj>s it is dry, and even dull, but it fs always clean, choice and d-elegant. Their classics abound in phrases such as ''May good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both" i" "Better is dinner of herbs with content msat than stalled OK with envy" and the like, which are produced at each and every opportunity with great regularity. In di- rect speech they employ the Socratic meth cd, and convey information or infict sa- tire in the form of questions. A few of this classs might be taken to heart by many of our fellow citizens, and especial ly such as these:
 "Do European cooks ever consider the physiological benefit or injury arising from foodsi'

THE GRAVES TRIAL.
Dr. Dahl, a Chemist On the Stand How FowIer,s Solution is Made.

Dr. Dahl, a Chemist On the Stand
 How FowIer's Solution is Made.
 DENVER, Dec 23.-In the Graves trial to-day Neil Stahl, a chemist, testified that arsenite of potassium was commonly used as medicine in the shape of Fowler's solution. The formula of compromising arsenite of potassium was to take equal parts of arsenic and potash and boiling them in water and then adding little es- sence of lavender. Witness often made tests to find arsenic. If it were in the viscera he would use Msrsh's test. If there was only a twelfth of grain he would not depend alone on Marsh's test. He would test to learn whether or not it was arsenic, for antimony very often re- sembled the arsenic mirror. Arsenic would be evaporated at lower tempera- ture than antimony Witness explained a number of tests and said after the mirrors were obtained in little glass tubes it was necessary then to prove what they were. There were many vegetable alkaloids which could not be detected in the system after being taken. Here he read the formula for making Fowler's solution.
