SUPERSTITIONS.
THE EBR TIDE..
Among the people living on the New England coast no superstition is more firmly implanted than that
a man cannot die except when the tides is running ebb. The patient and the state of the tide are anxiously watched and if the sick person lives: until the food-sets-in-again-it-is.be Beved that he will live, at least until the beginning of the next ebb. Even the most intelligent and the best educated of the Yankee, of the coast are not entirely free from this superstition.
On the coast of Old England it is the same as on the coast of New England. "It being bigh-water he went out with the tide," says Dickens in speaking of the death of Barkis in

A CHARMING PICTURE
Judging by its reception yester- day, "A Virtuous Vamp” featuring Constance Talmadge, should - draw crowded, audiences to *The Little Horse" throughout the period of It's screening in Hongkong. The following extract from "Motion Picture News," will be of timely interest to local Cinema goers

The reviewer is firmly con vinced that this is the best Constance - Talmadge" picture date. It is.. a farce comedy that has a logical story whereas farce is never expected to be real farce if there is anything logical in it. But: this photoplay disproves the establi shed theory. And besides having a logical resson for the situations and action, it gives Constance Talmadge the best opportunity she ever had to demonstrate her talents as a come. dienne
