A Maori Patient.

> w " Civis " tells the following good story: —In a northern village there were a couple of doctors practising m partnership, whose names I must withhold for the pre sent as there is a law case pending. Their custom was to divide the day, Dr A taking the round outside while Dr B remained m the consulting room, and vice versa. A young Maori chief turned up one day, and finding Dr B (who understand not a word uf Maori) m charge, persistently rubbed his arm (for he knew not a word of English) to explain there was something wrong with it. The doctor rightly concluded it; was rheumatism, and giving the chief a lotion, rubbed his own arm vigorously to explain how the lotion was to be used. The Maori returned to his whare, drank the entire lotion, and then sat down to rub his arm m accordance with what he con cluded were the doctor's directions. He did not long continue the operation. Cer tain gurglings within, and burning heat m the throat alarmed him to such an extent that he made all speed again for the surgery, this timn, however, finding the place m possession of Dr A, who also was wholly ignorant of Maori. The poor chief could do no more than helplessly point his finger down his wide-open and still burning mouth. The doctor, after examination, concluded he was suffer ing from toothache, and took him to a dentist, who promptly, but m the midst of a terrific yell, extracted a huge double molar. When the Maori saw his tooth, the trifling varnish of civilisation that encrusted him completely gave way, and he began to smash the furniture about to such an extent that the doctor and dentist combined their forces to hold him while the boy was sent m haste for an interpreter. The latter arrived just m time to see the Maori break away from his captors, and yelling out something, made a rush for the door. "Where has he gone?" said the astonished dentist to the interpreter. " He's gone to his whare," replied the latter. "Thank heaven for that," said the doctor, wiping his brow. " But he'll be back again m the evening," added the interpreter, quietly; "he said he was going for a tomahawk." Curiously enough both doctors and the dentist found that evening that they had business which would take them from home for a week or more. _
