Of Thomas Brown, who was married
to a granddaughter of the poet Robert
Burns. Mr.. Brown, who was in his
eighty-ninth year, was for many years
associated with the tweed trade. For
twenty years thereafter he was
church officer of Greyfriars Parish
church, and for several years was GUS
todian of the house in Burns street,
Dumfries, where the poet died.
Mr.. Brown married Jane Emma
Burns. daughter of the eldest son Of
the national bard, and his daughter,
Miss JEANNE Armour Burns Brown,

RIBBONS May BE WASHED
And, az Most Mothers viii Agree,
There Is Considerable Economy
In the Plan.

When there are several schoolgirl
daughters In the family the expendi-
ture on hair ribbons becomes quite a
considerable item. Fastidious moth
ers who declare that ribbons never
look well when washed should try
the following msthod:
Make mixture of three ounces Of
soft soap, three tablespoonsfUl OF
honey, to teacupful of gin and wa
ter.
The ribbon Is placed on board and
scrubbed with the mixture. 1t is then
rinsed by dipping several times In
clean, cold water. and not squeezed
out, but hung over a line to drip,
then put between cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbons from under the
iron. This prevents creasing and a
stringy appearance at finish, The Iron
should be kept ettll with pressure up
on it.
White ribbons will not turn yellow
when washed If the water is warm in
stead of hot, and the soap used q fine
white quality. Hinse in three waters.
the last being strong blue.
Hang in the SIN until half dry, then
press under clean muslin with a warm
iron.

Mr.. Thurston has worked all summer

his vacation is certainly deserved and

acquainted with conditions, and has not
even a personal opinion in regard to the
matter.

money available for the purchase of
the tags, and 1t doubtless will be some
time before a supply can be obtained

Der of the Union Parliament has
proposed an amendment to the
marriage bill forbidding the mar

The heads Of the Anglican and
Roman Catholic churches declare
that If the amendment is carried
they will, nevertheless, solemnize
such marriages. Other churches, ex-
cept the Dutch, will probable act in
a similar way
The government is trying to
burke the amendment, but a large
body of Dutch opinion demands the
enactment of this lestriction.
The press here mainly emphasizes
the futility Of forbidding marriage
between whites and colored people
without preventing intercourse,
which is impossible.
