The Origin of Rubber Neck.

The familiar slang phrase of the hour
which dubs the curious one rubber
neck" is acoinage OF so old a date that
out in the wilds of the west they are
chuckling to themselves over our sup
posed discovery of their long-forgotten
term Of derision.
1t was in Wisconsin that the rubber
neck was born ten years ago. The lum-
bermen who spent their lives IN the
solitudes OF the vast woods and lived
with the trees, birds and animals for
months at a time, first won the appel
lation.
At stated intervals the sturdy woods
men gathered up their accumulated
savings and steered for the nearest
town. The Western town, which
grows almost in night, underwent
such kaleidoscope changes between
visits that the denizens Of the forests
were In a constant amaze. They STREET
ched their necks hitler and yon to
take in the curious sights. They gap
at the new buildIngs,they stared at
everything from the shop windows to
the pretty girls, and their constantly
moving heads won them the sobriquet
of rubber necks. New York World.

Cooperative Well Boring.


The successful result of the boring
for artesian water on the George Will

water has not yet been attempted.
The entire cost of the we'll has not de-
volyed on Mr.. Wilson, as is generally
supposed, but he entered into COM
bination with III. d. Winchester,
Thomas Fear, Frank Mclure and
Richard Strobach by which each put
500 into fund for the purpose Of
sinking for artesian water. Lots were
drawn to ce side upon whose farm the
drilling should be prosecuted and the
agreement provides that. after the first

shall be created in a like way, and an

THE ALUM BAKING POWDER.
Names of Some Of the Principal Brands
Sold in This Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
OF food made with alum baking powder
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused num-
erous inquiries for the names of the
various alum powders.
The following list OF baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson of
st. Louis the Food Commission of
Minnesota, or other reliable authority !:
Baking Powders Containing Alum.
K. Geo.. ..-..s.....-- Contains Alum
Jaques Mfg. Co., Chicago.
CALUMET 49,. ..-........ Contains Alum

Washington Mfg. Co. San Francisco
BON BON -........... Contains Alum.
Grant Chemical Co. Chicago.
DEFIANCE. -. Contains Alum.
Portland, Coffee & Spice Co. Portland.
PORTLAND Contains Alum.
Beno & Balls, Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer-and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow
ders in st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City
Tacoma, San Francisco and elsewhere.
The manufacturers, it is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this
way greatly aided by the ambition OF
the grocer to sell powder with his
own name upon the label, especially
when the grocer can make an abnor-
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers,
doubtless do not know that the pow
ders they are thus dishing are alum
powders which would he actually con-
traband in many sections if sold with
out disguise.
1t is quite impossible TO give the
names Of all the alum baking powders
in the market They are constantly
appearing in all sorts OF disguises,
under all kinds Of cognomens, and at
all kinds Of prices, even as low as FIVE
and ten cents pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeepel
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents OF
less per pound are liable to contain, as
pure cream Of tartar baking powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.

Hated Being called a .Cu...v

He was used to being called hard
names by other wicked men, but he was
inexpressibly shocked when pretty
and innocent looking young woman
dubbed him ''cuss" 1t was in one of
the department stores. He had boldly
approached one of the grocery coun-
tiers and told his wants, but instead of
waiting on him the maiden whom he adj
dressed turned her head and called to
another girl near by:
"Jen, come here and wait en- the
cuss."
He stared in amazement, but she paid
no further attention to him, and as she
started to go to another part of the
store he heard again: "Jen, here's a
cuss for YOU"
While the second girl was attending
to his wants he plucked up courage
enough to ask why a strange young
woman should apply such an epithet to
him. The girl laughed merrily as she
answered: "Oh, that's just Sadie's way
of talking. She always abbreviates

THE HEMP INDUSTRY.
1t Has Lost Its Former Position
Among American Rural
Industries.

The hemp industry is already estab-
lished. though it should be extended
in order to recover its lost position
among American rural industries.
Where in the past we produced 10000
tons of hemp in the United States we
now produce less than fifth of this
quantity. The cultivation of flax in the
United States before the days of the
present factory system was SO wide
spread that il was of national impor-
lance. Its manufacture was largely a
home industry, however, conducted by
the fireside, and, as in ancient Greece
and Rome. the work was performed by
the women of the household. With the
advent of the factory system came COM
petition; the housewife laid aside her
spinning wheel, the clumsy homemade
loom fell into disuse, and the farmer
grew no more fax fiber. Then the fax.
seed industry was extended, and after
the close of the war a large demand
sprang up for coarse fiber for the
toughest of uses-for bagging and up
holstery, in connection with hemp
and hundreds of little tow mills came
into existence in the middle and west
ern states.-C. r. Dodge. in Appletons
