LAND CASES DECIDED.
Interior Department. Settles Title to
PaIo Alto County Land.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 3.-The land de-
partment of the interior has decided the
contest for the title to about 1900 acres
of land in Palo Alto county, which in
the government survey was included
enormously within the meander lines
of Lost Island and Trumbull lakes 1t
has decided that this land belongs in
part to the counties under the school
land grant and in part to the Milwau-
kee railroad under its grant, excepting
only one tract of 100 acres. which is
awarded to a settler. The land has
been disposed Of by both beneticiaries
in large part. and the action of the de-
partment is merely confirmation Of ti-
tie.
In the Sac county cases in which the
Northwestern roads land department
is claiming title to sixteen forty acre
tracts, the evidence has just been con-
cluded and decision has not been rem
dered This is a case in which the
state claimed the land as swamp land
and disposed of its title thru the Amer
lean Emigrant Company to farmers
now living on the tracts. The claim is
that while the land was listed as swamp
land the claim was never confirmed by
the department OF the interior, and that
in reality is not swamp land.

Chinese Points For Hosts.

Don't eat with your ears" says
Yuan Mel, a Chinese writer, ''by which
mean do not aim at having eztraor-
dinary out Of the way foods, just to
astonish your guests, for that is to
eat with your ears, not with your
mouth. Bean curd, If good, is actually
nicer than birds nest. And better than
sea slugs, which are not first rate, is a
dish Of bamboo shoots.
'The chicken, the pig, the fish and
the duck-these are the four heroes of
the table. Sea slugs and BIRDS nest
have no characteristic flavors of their
own. They are but usurpers in the
house. I once dined with friend who
gave US birds nests in bowls like vats,
holding each about four ounces Of the
plain boiled article. The other guests
applauded vigorously, but smiled and
said came here to eat birds nest, not
to take delivery Of it wholesale"

Union where a man has been allowed

was no law to prohibit him from so

but a majority of the committee agreed
with the chairman that the testimony
was admissible.

ITALIAN VlOLlNS.
The First @Strad" Sent to London

The First "strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.
Italian violins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning Of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
1621-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been a merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 1888, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari- The
result of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
Is ($25) for violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for a bad speculation. Five EElnds for
q "Strad," and not q single purchaser
to be found!
This incident in itself furnishes sufi-
cient testimony to the slavish following
Of the great German maker and the
strong prejudice Of the violinists Of
that period in favor of the high model.
1t is indeed the players who are most
to blame for the slow adoption of the
fat model, for the creator must make
what is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fddlers, at
any rate in England, France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess a small sweet tone, never real
izing the lack Of power and sonority.-

The Best Telephoned City.

What is the best telephoned city in
the world? San Francisco seems to be
the answer. In that city, with popu-
lation Of 342, ,7S2, there are 1924 tele-
phones, or sixty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to it's 312,S59 Of population,
equal to forty-nine per thousand In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very un-
fayorably with these figures. At the
beginning of this year there were A.
Ill telephones to a population OF more
than 5,5OO,OOO, or a proportion of sey-
