The Tresslcr Orphans' Home was
organized, and a constitution adopted
February aoth 1868. 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

The home is under the strictest
discipline, the children are happy and
all in good health. 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.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's Sum

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

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.

Hens if properly kept are a source

1 ne eggs can De increased in size
and richness by proper feeding of the
fowls.
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. Keep your flock healthy if
you desire the best result. A few
fowls in a pen are more apt to be
healthy, and. will do better than if
crowded, as they are easier taken care

The nests must be renewed occas
ionly and kept clean, straw is better
than hay, tobacco stems covered with
straw is an excellent prevention of in
sect breeding, especially where they
are setting.
P. S. review.
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

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

trace of scrofula, salt rheum, or other
diseases may be expelled by taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the best blood
purifier ever produced. It is the only

A REAL LUXURY?
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.
