Chant Of the Maori.

An interesting and pathetic scene If
often witnessed in the camps where
there are Maori soldiers. These occa'
sions are when Maoris who have been
wounded In battle take leave OF their
comrades on the eve OF their return
to their homes, in many cases to fight
no more.
Before their departure those who are
left behind set up mournful, though
melodious, dirgelike chant the pathos
of which invariably brings tears to the
eyes of those who hear 1t. It is their
chant of farewell to those brothers In
arms who have shared their dangers
and who will never fight side BY side
with them again.
The Maoris place their faith a great
deal in green jade luck charms. Green
Jade has with them traditional In
terest, for it was Of this material that
the tomahawks Of the ancient Maori
chiefs were fashioned.-London Mail.
