Miss Louise Allen, who has been attend-; ins: College at Asheville, returned homo [ p; hist Friday in a serious condition induced . by a fall. Miss Allen herself does not know how it; ^ happened. She had a room on the third j floor of the college building and at the time she was injured she found herself In the dead of night at the foot of the long flight of stairs. How she got there sin: does not know. It is supposed that she was walking in her sleep and fell. When ( she became conscious she found herself at the foot of tiie steps and in great pain. Mounting the steps again, she returned to her room and to bed. The pain was so; severe however, that she could not endure it. About 4 o'clock in the morning, she' got up and determined to start homo.; She dressed in an evening dress, went to! the depot alone and caught an early train. At Spartanburg Mr. ('. D. Brown saw j Miss Allenan d at once recognized that something was radically wrong, for Mr.' Brown knew her well, she being a close j friend to the family. Mi*, Brown at once took her in charge, and telegraphed to friends in Abbeville, of the situation. < >n the trip home the train j had to be stopped several times in order to i get medicines to relieve the racking pain j which th< patient underwent. Miss Allen is a beautiful young lady, j and poscst of beautiful traits of character, \ also. She has a great host of friends here, i Olivine stif'llt.

THE SLY FOXDead in the Dairy, But Lively When He Got Outside. Several years ago at an old fushioned farmhouse called Tittle Hall in Boxted. a small village lying between Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, there lived a farmer and his wife who thought much of their cows and dairy, but they were rather pestered with foxes, as the ' squire of Boxted Hall, an ancient mansion, being lord of the manor, did not allow them to be molested, as they were reserved for SDorting, and so it happened that the farmer's wife on going into her dairy one morning was horrified to see a fox of an enormous size lying dead, as she supposed, on the floor. The dairies at that time were large and airy, with large lattce windows and floors paved with clinker i bricks, which were often scrubbed down with a birch broom and much water. A brick was left out of the wall level with the floor for a sink hole, where all the refuse was washed out. The fox in his nightly prowls around the house appears to have scented the cream through the wtn, (lows or sink hole and, as lie would like to taste it squeezed himself through the hole t into the (fairy and made his way to the cream pot, and as it was so nic? lie ate it all up. lie swelled himself up to a size that he could l>y no means get back . through the hole" again, and hearing foott steps coming, he lay down on the lloor and i feigned to be dead.* The lady, suspecting what he had been doing, looked Into her ; cream pot, and finding it all gone, she was ? so exasperated that she took him up in a r rage, thinking he was dead, and with an . ugly word threw him out into the back t yard; but. to her great consternation and . dismay, as soon as reynard found he was r at largo and once more free to use his legs ^ he bounded oil'at lull speed, leaving the * lady to grieve over the escape of the < audacious and crafty thief.

If scientific forcast is reliable, the earth and Mars will become better acquainted with each other this month than ever become. Fifteen years ago, when they were in the same relative position to each other as at present, they passed each other by without recognition. Now this end of the line proposes to make up for that laat opportunity. ? . A special telescope, with a reflector 100 inches in diameter, has been set up at Flagstaff. A riz. where there will be something i-lninc next Wednesday. unless Prof. Lowell of Harvard and Father C. M. Charropin of the St. Louis University miss their, guess. Both of these experts are already at Flagstaff, with other astronomical savants, on watch for the lirst signal from the approaching planet. . It will behoove Prof. Lowell on this visit to make good his claim of the existence of a white vapor in the atmosphere of Mars He has always Insisted that he saw the vapor from Mount Whitney, Cal. Although Father Charropin is from Missouri, ne sides with Px-of. Lowell by declaring that he always believed that Mars was subject to fog. Scientists from the other states, however, expect to be shown and will believe only what they see. Flagstaff has been chosen for the view because conditions of the atmosphere there are propitious. t.,w411 ~r\ mtirtli fnfKnr than t/l dfi lliqiUlj wiixgvs rnuvii Auv?4v* termine whether or not Mars has a moist atmosphere. Having had that opinion for a long time i 'ather Charrpoin has deduced from it that such an atmosphere must serve some practical purpose, and he can conceive of no better use for it than to sustain life. While he has not predicated that signs of life may actually be seen at this observation, he expects that much of scientific Value will be revealed bearing on this hyopthesis. Prof. Whitney, of the obsevers, takes no stock in the moisture theory- but says the absence of moist air argues nothing against tne claim that life exists on Mars. He doesn't see why peoplo there, as well as here, may not thrive on hot air, in which moisture is not at all a constituent. Prof. Campbell of the Lick Observatory holds that if there is no moisture the question of life on the plannet comes once for biologists rather than for astronomers. Having disposed of these matters of technical controversy, the savants will proceed to look for human interest features in Mars They figure that the Martins will be as much concerned with us as we are with them and that they will avail themselves of all the soientilic appliances they have to I study us. If so far advanced they can observe us it is hoped that some intelligible communication may be set up. A Lecture. Itev.
