The original building and five acres of ground were purchased for $5003. . Since that time thirty-ci'-ht acres more have hiwn ndd.-rl In iSS-. nn o.l.1U:..i of three stories was added. 225 chil dren can now be accomodated. The institution belongs to the General Synod of the United States, and is supported by the following district Synods: Franklean, West 1'ennsylva vania, Central Illinois, Northern Illi nois, Southern Illinois. Northern In diana, Nebraska, Kansas, East Ohio, New V'ork and New Jersey, Hartwii k, i'ittsburg, Miami, Maryland, Olive Branch, Wittenburg, Allegheny, Cen tral Pennsylvania, Susquehanna and East Pennsylvania. Each Synod hav ing twelve ordained ministers is en titled to two trustees, thirty ministers four trustees, sixty or more six trus tees. The trustees are divided equal ly between the lay and clerical mem bers. The trustees of the Susquehan na Synod are Rev. J. A. Koser of Muncy, Rev. A. N. Warner of Northumberla nd, Dr. J. V. Sheets of Northumberland, and J. K. Bittcnben der of Bloomsburg. The trustees meet annually at the home about the first of June and elect their officers for the year. The officers for the present year are Rev. W. H. Dunbar of Leba non, President : Rev. A. Stewart Hart man, Baltimore, Md., Secretary ; .Mr. F. C. Fink, Harrisburg, Treasurer. The home is in Perry county, fifteen miles from Newport, and is in direct connection with railroads, a road hav ing been built during the past year between Newport and Loysville. New port is situated on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad. The fol lowing is a list of the Synods having children at the home, with the num ber from each Synod: Susquehanna 14 j West Pennsylvania 17; Allegheny 9; Central Pennsylvania 16; East Pennsylvania 18; East Ohio 1 ; Mary land 6 ; Kansas 2 ; Pittsburg 3 ; New York and New Jersey 2 ; Nebraska s ; making a total of 90. There are also 77 State Soldiers' Orphans, three Perry county children, and two day scholars, this making a total attend ance of 172. A superintendent, male attendant, matron, and four instruc tors, a baker, shoemaker and cook, em brace the management of the home. Children are received at the home at seven years and are dismissed at six teen years. They are admitted into the home by application to the presi dent or secretary, who furnishes a blank physician's certificate. The questions on the blank must all be truthfully answered and attested by the family physician. The executive com mittee will then investigate the case of the applicant, and if satisfied of the result will admit them. This precau tion is taken in order to pievent the introduction of any disease, and when we state that but a single case of sick ness was found in the home during the oast vear. the reader can know how iully the conditions are complied with. The obiect of the institution is to pro vide a home for poor orphan children of the Evangelical Lutheran church; to educate them phystcally, intellects ally, morally and religiously. Among the boys there are three military com panies. Company A embracing the larger boys 1 Company B the inter mediate, and Comnany C. the small est These are full companies except the smallest. One half hour is de voted every day to military drill, when all comDanies take part in marching, forming crosses, squares, stars and triangles. A major, adjutant major and serseant maior is in command, then each company has a captain, first and second lieutenant and orderly sar- geant. The officers are selected by merit and remain in charge during irood hehavior. The school is divided into fnnr divisions, each of which has a particular line of work j some work ina nnnn th farm, others in the bak lannHrw nr srhool buildinH. No one works more than an hour and half at one thing at a time, this woik is varied so as not to become tiresome nor onnress ve.

At present there arc more boys at the home than usual, so that no more boys can now be ac comodated. There is, however, room for about ten more girls. During the past year, the ground has been laid out into beautiful lawns, with fine flower beds. The buildings have been repainted outside and in side, new beds and bedding have been furnished, so that everything is clean and the home a delightful place in which to live. When the State Sol diers' Orphans' Commission visited the Home about two months ago, they expressed themselyes as elated at the condition of the buildings, its sur roundings and the instruction of the children. In their report they stated that the soldiers' orphans received i better treatment than at any other school in the State. Some stating that it was the best managed home they had ever seen. It is certainly a pleasure to know that there is an Or phans' Home in the State where the only consideration is the well-fare of the wards in charge. 1 he Executive committee, who labor for the success of the institution, receive no compen sation. They give their time, in order to maintain a place where the poor of the church may find a welcome home for their children. How Often.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's Sum mer Excursion-Koute isoon ior tne season of 189 1, just from the press, is undoubtedly one of the most elaborate reference compendiums issued by any railroad company in the world. The company this year has used new illus trations, printed on a very high grade of paper, while a decided departure from the old cover heretofore Dinning the. work is seen in the new one, which is beautifully illuminated, and would do credit to the brush of a Rossi, so cleverly Frenclr is it in every detail. The new map 1 embraces a territory from Canada to the Carolina, and from the British possession of New Bruns wick to beyond the Great Inland Lakes. When comparison is made with this volume of 272 pages, 100 ill ustrations, and over 1500 routes, a book which enters its year of manhood the first day of June, 1891, ana the tiny pamphlet of 24 pages and 63 routes issued twenty-one years ago by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and con sidered at that time a marvelous de- Darture in railroad advertising, the growth is hardly credible.

They require a variety of food and get very tired of one kind, and will not do as well as if fed a variety. The hen will cease laying when im properly fed or when in a diseased condition.

The best food for eggs is to give chopped clover and meat mixed, and scalked, with a little ground grain sprinklsd over it, in the morning, feed warm, give nothing more until an hour before the roosting time, then scaater wheat in litter of some kind, and make the hens scratch for it, give all the milk they will drink. The hens must be kept warm in order to lay, feed corn only twice a week. 1'oultry Nation. W. B. German. A Good Old Story. As strange as it may seem, there was once a J udge of the Court of San Bernardino County, California who disapproved of liquor and wine drink ing, and lost no opportunity in sternly holding up to public gaze all persons who had committed crimes or misde meanors while under the influence of strong drink. There lived in the town at that time this exemplary man sat upon the bench a good many men who looked upon the wine when it was good and red, and who often frolicked with Barleycorn until they got the worst of it. There was one young man in particular, who belonged to a good family, who was wont to paint San Bernardino scarlet when funds were not to low. This youth entered his Honor's study one day and exclaimed: ' Judge, I'm going to swear off, and I want you to " I'All right, all right; I know I know. I'll make out the papers and fix you up. It won't take ten minutes." And tickled nearly to death, the Judge made out a satisfactory docu ment, the young man quickly subscrib ed to it, and then swore never again to drink anything intoxicating. Then he asked : "How much do I owe you, Judge ?" 'Owe me ? Heavens and earth, young man, you don't owe me any thing. Confound it 1 I owe you ! You have made me supremely happy 1 I can never repay you !" 'Now, see here, Judge, that won't do. I have taken up your time, and I'm going to pay you !" "Never, never, never ! My dear boy. I will never take a cent." "But you must." "Never 1" "Well, you are the best man I ever saw." "That's all right." "And I am determined to demon strate my thankfulness in some way." "No, no, no I" "Yes, yes, yes ! I'll tell you what we'll do, Judge." "What ?" "Let's go and have a drink 1" Everybody Knows- That at this season the blood is filled with impurities, the accumulation of months of close confinement in poorly ventilated stores, workshops and tene ments. All these impurities and every trace of scrofula, salt rheum, or other diseases may be expelled by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the best blood purifier ever produced.

Looking out over the many homes of this country, we see thousands of women wearing away their lives in household drudgery that might be materially lessened by the use of a few cakes of SAPOLIO. If an hour is saved each time a cake is used, if one less wrinkle gathers upon the face because the toil is lightened, she must be a foolish woman who would hesitate to make the experiment, and he a churlish husband who would grudge the few cents which it costs. If your grocer sends you anything in place cf SAPOLIO, send it back and insist upon having just what you ordered. SAPOLIO always gives satisfaction. On floors, tables, and painted work it acts like a charm. For scouring pots, pans, and metals it has no equal. Everything shines after it, and even the children delight in using it in their attempts to help around the house. f3T Grocers often substitute ch .per goods for SAPOLIO to malts a better profit.
