Nearly everybody has heard the storj r that Abel Tasman named Cape Maria Van Dieman after his sweetheart, the daughter of the Governor of Batavia. The other evening Mr A Bathgate proved to the Otago Institute that old Van Dieman died childless, and a popular myth fell with a crash, which almost shook the composure of stuffed owls in the museum adjoining the meeting room. Dr Pomare (Chief Native Health Officer) expressed the opinion, at a meeting of the Auckland Institute, that the Maori was doomed, not to extinction, but to absorption. Nearly 80 per cent of the South Island Maoris now have European blood in them, while the North Island Maoris also have a large admixture of pakeha blood. He did not, however, believe the Maoris would entirely die out, but the'future would find a new race, in whose veins would be commingled the blood of Anglo-Saxon and Maori. The ordinary cough medicine may soothe the throat, but it has no power to heal; recovery is not complete, and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlains Cough Remedy is quite different, because it not only soothes but also heals, so that the affected parts are restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed.
