A few weeks ago a little boy, son of a Maori of rank on the Waimate Plains, died. A short time previously the family had invested in a motor-car, which was an unspeakable joy to the boy. Very imitli after the haliit of his elders, it was the absorbing delight of his plays, and, according to the family, was the subject of his dreams at night. His death left his mother distracted with grief, and at her request the car was declared tapu (sacred to tho dead), and was rigidly excluded from use. But the memories recalled by the presence of the car were too much for the mother, and as a final act she destroyed it. Asked a few days ago in Manaia by a resident where her car was now she replied: "Boy very fond of it; he die, car must die all the same."
