BURNSIANA.
Lovers of Burns will be interested to learn that, at the instigation of Irvine Burne Club, a memorial tablet has been placed in the old section of Irvine Church rard to the memory of Dr. Mackenzie, 2 intimate friend of the poet. Dr. Mac- kenzie was the first chairman of the Irvine Barns Club, and his wife one of the Mauchline belles teferred to in Burns
poems.
The month of January, with its many snow storms has given a great opportunity to the Scottish Ski Club, whose head- quarters are in Edinburgh. Experts in the sport are making the most of the heavy snowfalla, and shepherds plodding. their way over remote moorland are often startled by the vision of a jazz jumper skimming past at high speed. Ski-ing has often been indulged in at Moffat and the head waters of the Clyde, where the hills are free from the craters and deep fissures of the Cheviots. But the High- lands, especially the Cairngorm group, are more favoured ground. There are miles of level or rolling moors well above 2,000 feet, and of late weeks they bava been the happy practice ground of many enthusiastic ladies and gentlemen. PROFESSOR COOPER'S LIFE
