There's an ancient superstition in Ger

owner who takes a bath in the foaming
juice Of his grapes as it bubbles in the

himself and his family. a wine producer
in the Roman peninsula was following
the old-time tradition recently, but
slipped in the pool and was drowned in
the generous juice of his modern Falerni-

SCISSOR Is Happy.

\ unique surgical operation was per-
formed at Omaha. Neb., by an oclI-
list on William Summers of Grell-
DO, Wyo. The picture of az eye
was tattooed in different colored india
inks on Summers right eyeball This
was done to make it match its mate in
color.
For a good many years the eye has
been white and Summers wants to sur
prise his family when he visits them i'll
the south next week by having perfectly
matched eyes. When Summers was a
youth he was poisoned by poison oak.
When a finger was swollen with the poi
son he rubbed his eyes with his knuckles
end the poison was communicated to the
eye. 1t became colorless at once and the
sight was lost. The tattoOing operate
lasted several hours. The surgeon said
that his work was the same as if he had
tattooed ship or an anchor on person 5

feet, and on the Nehalem and its north
and south forks there are 25,000,O0O,-
