Big ExperinAent Planned In Russian
 Grain For Texas.
 Grant Robinson of St. Paul, Minn., has purchased 10000 acres of land In Presidio county, Tex. which he will devote to the culture of macaroni wheat on a scale the largest ever at- tempted in the world, says Houston Tex.) correspondent of the St. Louis Post. Dispatch. Extensive preparations are now going forward for the consum- nation of the plans of the capitalist. Seed for planting will be brought to the United States from the volga re- zion of Russia.
 The field will be cultivated on the very latest and most improved method of wheat farming Monster stako blows will be utilized in breaking up the land. In fact, ah of the latest types of farming machinery will be used on the plantation.
 Mir. Robinson proposes to have the largest and best managed wheat farm In the world. He will build n system of tenant houses and supply tho wants of his laborlng men from con lis-i snry. A school will be built for the children of the laboring men as well as churches. etc. The farm is near Vale1- tine, accessible to the railroad, and has proved under tests to be admirably adapted to the culture of macaroni wheat.

Champagne For a Hair wash.

Women have discovered that cham pagne, though an expensive hair wash. gives beauty to the hair and has the advantage of being much less injurious than even the finest of French dyes. to which many women resort when they find themselves growing gray. says the New York Press. Other society women have realized that brightly colored hair makes an old face look even older by contrast and that gray hair makes young face look younger still. The snow white hair of Mrs. Potter Palmer was always her chief attraction. and Mrs John Jacob Astor's beautiful sil- very gray hair makes a bewitching frame for her fine features and delIcate coloriny. Now another Of the young women. Mfrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Remarkable Discovery of Miners at
 Buena Vista, Colo.
 When the night shift of the Johnny Tewin mtne.t twelve miles from Buena vista, Colo, entered the shaft the other night they found the wind blowing a ea1e from the mouth of the shaft. The open lamps were of no use, so lanterns were procured and the miners entered with much trepidation. says a Buena Vista dispatch.
 When the bottom was reached they found that 1t had literally been shot out and that they were In large cave thlr- ty feet across and filled with stalag- mites and stalactites of wonderful beauty and size.
 The cavern has been explored for 200 feet. It decreases slightly In size at the point where the exploring stopped. That 1t has an outside entrance Is not doubted, although 1t appears to run straight into the heart of the mountain.
 A large stream of water can plainly be heard. The management say they will thoroughly explore the cave.

HOTEL FOR BOYS.

Institution Where Youngsters May Re Self Supporting.
 Quietly, with no preliminary an nouncement, the real hotel for boys in New York city recently came into ex- istence under the management of Miss Mary Laidlaw Proudfoot, member of a well known family.
 It has today eight patrons. proud young fellows, who are office boys, messengers and the like throughout New York. and there Is room for six more. For these six vacancies there are so many applications that at the outset it is realized that larger estab- lishment must be found. and for such "a place there is search being made.
 There is nothing of charity about the establishment. Each one pays accord ing to his means, and that gives him the privilege of having his own room. his own possessions. with only the re- strictions of good conduct and good or der to continue him on the hotel regis Der.
 Miss Proudfoot Is the niece of the late Mrs. Mary Laidlaw, who during her life devoted much of her means to the helping of boys. She established the Eighth Ward mission. where the youngsters were educated and trained, and after her death Miss Proudfoot continued the work.
 Each year there come from orphan ages and asylums an. army of boys to New York. These range from twelve to fourteen years of age, and they go to work at wage that would not nv, craze more than 8, if that. They must live somewhere, and usually they go to a corner of a tenement room.
 This kind of boys are welcomed at the Boys hotel. Each Is expected to put a certain amount into the household fund, and 1t does not matter how small it is. He is allowed to keep enough of his wages to cover necessary expenses and little in addition for incidentals.

was q fresh attack-an ugly rush Of reckless men. But tho news soon spread that there was firing in the val. ley and the sound of white mans rife. The little garrison plucked up heart, and the rifles, almost too hot to hold, dealt death around.
 ! They held back the savages until the sound of the firing behind them was quite audible even amid the heavy rat tie of the musketry.
 Then suddenly the. firing ceased-the enemy had divided and fled. For a few moments there was strange, tense silence. Then a yoice-an Eng fish voice-cried Come on!'
 The next moment Guy Oscard stood on the edge of the plateau. He held up both arms as a signal to those

within the stockade to cease firing, and then he came forward, followed by a number of blacks and Durnovo.
 The gate was rapidly disincumbered of its rough supports and thrown open. Jack Meredith stood in the aperture, holding out his hand.
 'It's all right; it's all right" he said.
 Oscard did not seem to take so cheer ful view of matters. He scrutinized Meredith's face with visible anxiety.
 Then suddenly Jack lurched up against his rescuer, grabbing at him vaguely.
 In a minute Oscad was supporting him back toward his tent
 "It's all right, you know," explained Jack Meredith very gravely; q am a bit weak, that is all. I am hungry: haven't had anything to eat for some time, you know"
 "oh, yes." said Oscard shortly, T know all about it."
