For some time paet IL " 40 * pected thai
the statue of Agnes Gilkerson, at Smith
vile, would be disposed of by boxing it
up and storing it away out of sight. The
box had been made and the time set for
the work to begin, but just then Capt.
Smith arrived in town and there was
seemingly no opportunity to carry out
these plans without their coming under
his notice. Mr.. Smith has never seen
this image, and it was desired that its dis
appearance should be accomplished with
as little publicity as possible.
1t was the wish of Eveline Verona
Smith, widow of the late Hezekiah B.
Smith, that as Agnes Gilkerson had
caused her so much trouble that her
statue should be broken to pieces and
the remnants thrown into the Rancocas
creek.
On Wednesday evening it was decided
to carry out this wish, and tie proper
authority gave orders for Its early de-
struction on Thursday, and this has been
done.
About o'clock some men were ordered
from the machine shops to do this work,
and it was successfully accomplished I'M
der the supervision of Nelson Gaskill. It
took about four hours to complete the job.
The piece of statuRry was pulled from its
pedestal and then the men began to ham
mer it to pieces. When this was finished
the debris was thrown into the deepest
part of the creek, piece by piece, for dis
lance of over half mile.
While the work was in progress a resi-
dent of Smithville entered the yard and
secured a piece of the broken marble
which he wanted to keep as a relic, but
he was made to give it up. The iron
canopy was removed on Saturday, and
thrown on the scrap heap, to be melted
soon. 1t contained over five tons of iron.
OTHER sMITHvILLE ITEMS.
For the past few days Capt. Elton ].
Smith has been looking over the affairs at
Smithville. The old mansion house that
has stood for fifty years is being re-
modelled and renovated, and when the
improvements are completed, which will
be in about two months, the building will
be In better shape than it ever was be-
fore. 1t will be heated with hot water
and Mr.. Smith will probably live there a
portion of the time. An artesian well is
to be sunk and the village supplied with
pure water. A force of men is now en-
ployed IN painting the sixty-two houses
owned by the estate. The high brick wall
around the mansion grounds is to be cut
down SO that it will be only about two
feet high.
Mrs. Arthur Williams and Mrs. Frank
Williams, of Philadelphia, made visit to
Mrs. Ray Twins last week. They rode up
on their bicycles.
Don't forget the festival to be given by
Mechanic Circle on Friday evening, June
4. Somebody will be presented with
hlgh-grade bicycle. 1t may be you, so
come prepared to take it home with you.

Mr.. Bayard's Future Work

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 17.-It is re-
ported in this city that former Ambas-
sador Thomas T. Bayard, who is now
in Europe, will become the eastern rep
resentative of London capitalists and
that he will open an office in New York
upon his return to America. It is further
stated that Mr.. Bayard will receive a
salary equal to that of the president of
the United States.
Mr.. Bayard's hasty return to London
after he concludede his mission as am
bassador to England was regarded here
at first as purely personal visit but
it is rumored that he was asked to meet
a number of capitalists.-New York Sun.

recipe for it's manufacture may be set
down as three pounds of sugar to a
quart Of water. 1t is impossible to give
exact measures where sugar is concern
ed, because of the difference in the tex
ture of sugar according to it's dampness
or dryness. Damp sugar weighs much
heavier than dry sugar, and for this
reason it is seldom profitable to buy a
barrel of sugar unless you know it has
been well dried.
The best rule is to place upon the stove
pound of sugar in a double boiler and
cover it with water. Let it come to a
bubble. Stir for twenty minutes. Your
sugar should now have become thick,
sweet syrup. You can test it by drop
ping it in a glass of ice water. If it
forms a big drop it is the right consist
ency. Even the most experienced cooks
find it necessary to reboil this sugar
sometimes, adding more sugar or more
water. But it may be said that this re-
boiling does no harm, and the novice
need not despair should she have to try
again.
In winter there is a greater demand for
home drinks than in summer. During
July and August the seductive ice cream
soda is so much more tempting than
anything that can be made at home
that even the home made lemonade can
not compete with it. But in winter,
when it is cold outside and the cricket on
the hearth is chirping, then comes the
time for something sweet and soothing,
pleasant and not harmful.
There is a broader field for home
drinks than most housewives suppose.
For instance, the simple orangeade is
something so rarely made that you
hardly hear of it. Yet there is nothing
better. 1t is equal to the orange phos-
phate, than which no more popular
drink was ever found.
For orangeade, take two sour oranges
and one lemon. Squeeze into pitcher,
taking care that not a. seed falls in.
1t is the presence Of the seed that gives

rich warmth about it which is inspiring

rich warmth about it which is inspiring
without being invigorating.
When whisky drink is made for a
medicine, as in the case of grippe and
chills, it should be compounded in a diff
ferent way. Bartenders understand the
secret, but few at home know of it. Take
small wineglass and fill it with whis-
ky. Invert a tumbler over it. Now
turn the glasses entirely over, until the
tumbler stands on it's bottom and the
| little wineglass is inverted inside, with
the whisky intact in this glass. Should
you not understand this, ask the man of
the family how to do it, and ten to one
he will perform the miracle without
spilling a drop.
In the bottom of the tumbler, around
the inverted wineglass, pour table,
spoonful of gum. Add to it the juice of
half a lemon, and fill nearly to the top
with ice water. Now gradually lift the
wineglass with the whisky still in it un-
til it is level with the surface of the
water Little by little let in the air. AS
you do so the whisky will escape with
a gurglng noise. This is called floating
the whisky" When it lies calmly on
top it is ready to be taken. Let the nic-
tim of the cold swallow it at a gulp. She
will find that she has first a tingling
sensation of whisky in her throat, fol-
lowed by very pleasant lemonade taste
to drive out the whisky.
Egg drinks are highly nourishing
though not economical The basis of
them is quantity of beaten egg. This
may be prepared in the day time, if the
egg drink is for night, and can be
bottled and put on the ice. One egg
should be allowed for each person Beat

pouring one-third of a cup of the egg

/ q bitterness to orange and lemon drinks
Be careful in squeezing not to crush o
seed, and II possible rid the fruit Of the
bitter little elements as soon as It IL
lcut open. Pour into the Juice table,
spoonful of sugar syrup and stir gently
until all has mixed. Now take siphon
of ice cold seltzer or vichy and squirt
the pitcher full. Two oranges and one
lemon should make six glasses of or
angeade, and by knowing the capacity
of your pitcher you can gauge it just
right without experiment. The drink
thus obtained will be light, foamy and
very delicious.
1t is not an extravaganza to purchase
these siphons of sparkling water. On
the contrary, they are very inexpensive
compared to wines and liquors. In many
places they can be purchased in quart
bottles, two or even three for % cents.
And, if bought by the dozen and kept in
a cool place they will be cheap and al
ways ready for use. Twenty-Five cents
is not an extravagant sum to spend on a
beverage for a party of six, and this
easily covers the cost of seltzer lemon
ade.
Other fruit drinks are made in the
same way, with lemon for basis But
in the case of raspberry and peach
drinks, it is better to use a banana fla
vor, which is made by slicing banana
fine and depositing in the bottom of the
pitcher before the seltzer is added. If
strong banana flavor is wanted, the fruit
can be squeezed through a sieve. A
cup of preserved peaches sliced in the
juice, two bananas, also sliced, tea
spoonful of gum and pint of sparkling
vichy make the best of drinks.
