Let them contemplate ?,',' tha truffle of one man with natur v;'' a n I rather from Ms conquest the 'Inmo of th winning of the Vt ! virt B. Perrlne la now In his early , forties. He Is alUht, wiry, blue !1 i' aye, reticent and niodsit. but al- l . i'j'i ways pollt to the strsnger. He is famed from Ogden to romana iw his optimism. "Nil tlosperandum" Is him rule of life, and nothing dsllghta ' htm mors than a wrestle with brute -'. aatre. He was bom In Lebanon. ?;? A. Ind., and came Went before he wail ' lghteeo. He drifted Into Idaho, and ona of hla first Jobs waa that of , V4 chambermaid in a livery stable In a new mining camp. He cleaned up j ! . around tha etsble one day and set ,r?' firm to tha refuse. While he was at " lunch tha fire was communicated to '..-i;V tha stable, and from the stable to the "f.'Vv town. In an hour the town was oft .th map and Perrlne was In th grip - V ' vigilance committee, which made prompt arrangements to hang htm. . - A friend appeared who told how tidy tha lad had Jeen about the stable. And how ere, older men might have mad socta a sflghk mistake as to set (. Bra to a town. The miner were . charmed with the lawyer' eloquence . and untied the rope that bound Perrlne. His rescuer s now a 4 millionaire, living In Salt Lake City. " Perrlne tried prospecting and failed. Ha wetit against railroading and fortune did not smile He floated around at various Jobs, but made no headway. Finally. In company with " an old prospector who had made money In the Balse placers before thejr petered out, he struck out across the desert for the Snake rilver Can yon, below Shoshone Falls. They ' arrived at the Hp of the canyon, and beheld below them, smiling under 1 fhe aky, two blue lakes In a pocket of ' tha gorge that rose 600 feet upwatd to where they stood. I)ID NOT FIND TRAIL ". Perrlno and his partner procpected ' along the adge of the preclplfe for a trail. They did not find any. Re low them ran the Hnake river, with frtnga of green along Its banks, '- and' the old prospector thought he aaw A fortune In Its sands. Perrlne was captivated r,v the blue lakes and ' ftactded on tho Instant to locate them for his home. The cliffs lined the-canyon of the Pnake for mile. .Above them wn fhosnone Falls, roaring Ilka Murk. . Below them stretched an endlcn desert. There was nothing to do but to lwer Ihvnisolvea anil their nlundcr ; ovar the cllffn. They rigged up n tackle, and Perrlne dropped, as If ut Of the heavens, into the- gorge. Tho Old miner sent down pine board for - a aluloa box. grub and their-: extra clothing. They turned their lurToa loose. Tha old argonaut slid down tha rops. Another descent was made In the same wsy. to a spot where tha drift rock had made a sliding baok. Thus they reached the banks of the river. The old miner went down the river with hJs boards, which cost htm IS each, snd dls appeared. Perrlne. catching his "extra grub and Nothing, wrote out t location notices and stuck them upon tha rocks. He claJmed everything In sight. Then began Ms twenty years' . straggle. The warmth of tho valley adjoln ' Ina the river, protecti-d as It waa by th giant walls of the canyon, tho abundance of wafer snd the chsriicter Of the apt I. convinced Perrlne that he could rnako a ti-cen of fruit -growing. What did It matter to him that thsre was nohoiiy within reach to buy his fruit? Whet did he care for the little obstacle of cliffs? Me swam tha river and explored the face of tha canyon wall. Making his way Upward upon drlff rock. h- gained a place 100 fet above the river. There a two-foot ledge Jutted nut, skirting the fiioe of th cliff for a mile. Ha wnlked along, literally among the eagles, with death below and solitude all around. The Icriifii ended at a little break which was psrtly filled with drift l'p this he climbed, snd found himself on thj bow MInP j plateau.

' With the roads -closed, tha-only way to reach the Perrlne ranch was In tho primeval fashion adopted by Its discoverer a drop over the cliffs, at the risk' of life. In due time the little Hoosier her rolt took a wife n Idaho girl, "who thought nothing of the solitude of tha great canyon and tho roar of tha torrent.' Two children were born to them, a boy and a girl. The boy died two years ago. The girl, thirteen years old. Is the charm of the home. Hhe has adopted a big trout, who lords It over his tribesmen In the Ice cold pool formed by the spring noar the house. This big trout comes up for food and permits his little mistress to rub his sides and tickle his fins. He Is b llUle shy with strangers, but when a morsel of food drops In the wster his hunger overcomes his bashfulness and the celerity with which he darts In ahead of the ducks and gobbles the fod Is a wonder to behold. NATI'RE IH INDTTLGENT. Nature Is especially Indulg -nt with Blue J-ake ranch The sun smiles down perpetually, the soil Is the ac cumulation of ages of erosion, the keen winds of winter are warded off by the cliffs. In consequence, fruits of all kinds ripen to perfection thore and gather a sweetness that haa made them famous. Perrlne sent an ex hibit te Paris and was awarded the gold medal. He exhibited at the Buffalo Kxposltlon snd captured an other gold medal. He waa heard from at the Trans-Jrilsslaslppl Kxposltlon at Omaha and another medal was added to his collection. Finally, In St. Iouls. In 104. he won the gold medal against the world for fino fruits. lie shows these medals with modest pride to the few strangors who stumble upon his ranch, and then fills th.lr buckboard with sam ples of the peache that have become known throughout the world. For nearly twenty years Perrlne'a nearest neighbors were thirty-five miles distant, across a waterless sage brush pluln. Now the breakers of Immigration are dashing within sound of Hhoshone Falls. Twin Falls. Idsho, a two-year-old city, with 3,600 population, with a railroad and a big stone hotel, two newspapers, and so on, lies on the plain five miles from Perrlne's plnce. The sage brush about tho town has been dls . i i... A.M. on.l ..i. n.,.. a !h. ,.r in i nil directions, snd Irrigation ditches, full of wat r. traverse the plain. The raw land, with a water right, sells for 125.00. It la barely cleared nnd planted to alfalfa or fruits before it Jumps to 1100 and 1200 an acre. The town l beginning to send out buy, fruit. bntr and farm products gen erally. Hugar tierte are being plantfl. i nd factory Is about to be erected. The desert Is djsa ppearlng before the very eyes of tho visitor. The Oregon Short Line built a branch road Into the country, and Is planning to i change Its route rn xnsi iwin run will be on tne main line. iwo or three other towns have sprung up on the desert, all of them as am bitious as Chicago. PLKNTY OF KLKCTHIC POWER. Klectrlc power to the extent of 20, 000 horse-power has been developed at Phoshone Falls, and poles and wires sre being strung slong Hnske river and Into Twin Falls. In a few weeks the town will be lighted and operated by Hhoshone Falls. An electric x railroad fourteen miles In length Is being constructed, connect ing the towns of Twin Fslls and Huell.

TRAVFxngQ Tnioirr"Tir8. r. Result of an Experiment Mado by a German Hotel lien' London Dally Mall. Herr Urausr, a wealthy- uerman hotel oroDrtetor. ha carried out an experiment with amusing results on the tipping custom. H had a the ory that all hotel employes should be paid a living wage ana inai iippmg should be abolished In hotels. 8o he started, accompanied by hla wife and daughter (the Lausanne correspondent writes) on a three weeks tour . of the chief Oer man and Bwlss hotels, determined not to spend a sou on tips. In order In test his nDlnlona. One week's experience of t con sequences was enough for hla wlf and daughter, who returned home disappointed and indignant with Herr Grsuer for the discomfort and Insult to which he had led them. Mysterious helroglyphlcs and se cret signs known only to hotel em ployes announced the arrival of th Grsuers "the non-Uppers" at th various resorts they visited. Th re sult was always the same nobody seemed to want them. At the stations they were told that the particular hotel they wiahed to stay at was full; the hotel omni bus was merely "waiting for a few old clients to depart." When thev insisted on entering the omnlbusW there was nobody to carry their lug gage and railway porters had to be ' I Arriving at the rin uniT'-H n.j.i k.u.u hotel their heavy baggage was un ceremoniously tnrown on me grounu and tho boxes were damaged. The maid took half an hour to an swer the bell, and the "hot water." when It did arrive, was cold. At table d'hoto the Grauers were always served with the last portion. The concierge "did not know" of any In teresting trips In the neighborhood, and waa generally "busy" when they descended to the hall. Complaints to the manager were futile. Herr Grauer. who persevered with his three weeks' tour to the end, sums np his experiences as including the following: , Lost three trains; luggage unable to be found. Had four pslrs of boots, two be ing new, ruined; "cause unknown." Two suits of clothes, one dress, three blouses mysteriously contract ed Ink stains. Herr. Orsuer now believes that tip ping Is a necessary evil, with still a long life. CAN THK KYK8 BE BKI-TKVET)? An Kxpcrlment Which Shows How I.lule We See Anyway. Grand Magazine.

As regards the shspo of tho columns In the vestibule, only six snswwrs were correct. By way of continuing the experiment, onn day a man conspicuously costum ed suddenly burst Into the classroom, where he performed certain antics snd uttered certain emphstlc phrsses prearranged with the professor. He waa then thrust out of the door as If he had been an ordinary Intruder. Here was a scene, eminently calculat ed by reason of Its strangeness and unexpectedness to Impress the Im sglnatlon of the students. A few (lays later, on some pretext or other, Prof. Claparedh asked hla pupils to describe to the best of their recollections the person and acts of the masked man. out of the twenty two students who had been present on the occasion only four described the man accurately. The rest either admitted that their recollection of the scene was absolutely at mult or gave such a description that It might have applied to. anybody rather than th correct one. Consolation for the Artist. Youth's Companion. The late lrd Lelghton. president of the Koyal Academy, once had a chance to learn something about him self that perhaps he hsd not sus pected. His chance came to him at a picture gallery, where his painting "Helen of Troy" wss on exhibit. He Joined a group1 of ladles who wsre standing before It lust In time to hear one of the number say: "It's a horrid picture simply hor rid I" "I'm sorry, hut It's mine!" Lord lelghton exclaimed Involuntarily. "Vou don't mean to say you've bought the thing T" questioned the same lady. ... . . "No; I painted It," the artist hambly replied.

BY WILIJAM TRtC HOWTHORVE. .':: -ir rV' 1 ,S&-XtyW tendoni - Bp' 1 1 5neV t '''year London Is staggered by th madhouse returns. Other statistics of the dark aid of city Hfe contain much that la appallingly algnlflcant, but the moat distressing pert of It all Is that the metropolis of civilisation Is growing madder-every yesr. '- , :'. xf .. From the census of ' the Insane for lsOtfVJuat reported Dy the board of lunacy. It Is seen that th rat of Increase is more than double that of population growth, and this with th causes of insanity still an unsolved branch of medical science. v. Thee serious figures are quoted - to .th ut ter confusion of th theorists who saw In Improved sanitation and - other modern advancements a condition of things less conductive to lnsnlty than the , old-fashioned manner of living. Another common belief that appears to have no sound basis is that It- Is the pace that kills, els how hap pen it that the figures from th ag ricultural counties, where life still runs in th ancient ruts, show that lunacy la more common there than In the city. The stress of . modern life, the strain on the nerves, th pressure of the dally struggle are urged as some of the canses for - a growth of Insanity, yet it Is he who is stunted who passes to the other side of th border land more easily than the man of strenuous life and active brain. . , Then, what Is the cause and the remedy? These questions are easy to ask, but Impossible to answer. A lit tle light, however, is afforded by the conclusions of the . lunacy board. These experts say that hereditary In fluence plays an Important part, and seems more powerful In the case of women than men. ' Intemperance Is another "powerful factor, and here the male victims outnumber the females four to one, though on the whole more women than men go insane. Lack of brain activity may conduce to the dementia that accompanies old age. Intermarriage may favor trans mission of feeble brains . and con genital deficiencies, - avocations may expose: to risk of sunstroke, low wage earning may be responsible for pri vation, revivalism in religion may be more potent in disturbing mental bal ance than grief or anxiety. But why follow the specialists into a fretwork of maybes which, In the absence of a known cause for the growth of Insanity, can offer a rem edy, and from which we would emerge, only to find that London was still growing madder from -hour to hour. BARON ROTH8CHILD'S SINGING PARROT. It will Interest American readers to know that Baron Alfred de Roths child, the London head of the great financial house. Is a parrot fancier. He haa Just acquired the most talent ed Polly In the world, and not a little of the time he takes from the rou tine of world finance Is given up to bsaklng In Laura's expression of eerie wldsom she cannot Imitate a smile and listening to her extensive re perolre of German songs. It reminds the Baron of the Fatherland, for. of course, you know the house of Roths child Is of Teutonic origin. This wonderful parrot's name Is Laura "Laura aus Afrlka," she wilt say If anybody asks her. Her plum- I age Is brilliant green, and her voice, when she sings, Is like the twanging of loose banjo strings, Laura has learned over 200 words, and when she la "at home" In her cage in one of the Alhambra dressing-rooms, with the baron and a party of friends as audience, she gives a concert that leaves nothing for criticism to fasten on, especially after hearing the finale, a martial song to the effect that any one who wishes to be a soldier must carry a musket and load It with powder and ball. The baron has talking parrots nut of number, but Laura Is the prima donna of tho household. DUKE OF ARGYL. TREASURE HUNTER The Duke of Argyl has Joined the treasure hunters who go down-In div ing bells, delving for Spanish gold believed to be secreted In the holds of sunken vessels. Ktrangsr yet Is the circumstances that the Duke did not come back empty-handed, like most everybody who has ever embarked In search operatlona at the bottom of the sea. From the hulk of a Spanish galleon In Tobermory Bay, on the West Highland coast, have Just been recovered a sixteenth century stiver cup and other valuable objects. These discoveries encourage the duke to be lieve that the divers are now within masurable distance of the hoard of doubloons the vessel Is ssld to have had on board when she was lost. The head of the great house of Campbell Is. as Is generally -known, far from being a wealthy man. and there would be rejoicing In Argylshlr If a big haul of treasure trove enabled the MacC'allum More to take up his residence once more In his ancestral castle and keep state there as of old.
