The article outlines Italian superstition focused on the evil eye, or jettatore, and the methods to avert it. It notes charms like horn hand signs and coral talismans, including the Cimaruta with rue, serpent, crescent, key, heart, and hand, all tied to luck and protection.
A reminiscence collection recalls shore matches among sailors including a beef stunt with a man standing on his head in a temperance pool room and another Dutch group chewing raw pork and potatoes in Colombo. The piece also notes Mescal visions with vivid butterfly forms and glowing images.
The piece discusses the general store as a major US rural institution, noting 120,000 stores nationwide with strong profits, the shift from rowdy crossroads shops to modern department-store like operations, and the store owner as a town power figure alongside the local editor and banker. It also shares anecdotes on philanthropy and a brief social snapshot of Hawaii's population decline and health issues.
