An Erening at the AsyIum.

To write OF the asylum and OF Its
successful management, TO tell of the
watchful and tender care given the pa
tients, TO paint q pen-picture Of it's sur
roundings, with It's broad acres OF wav-
ing grain, promising fruits. thrifty
vegetables and its cattle and pigs lazily
wading In Its luxuriant clover fields.
would be like repeating thrice-told
tale, would be like calling the atten-
tion OF family at It's home TO one OF
It's home pictures.
BY this time all Idaho knows OF the
splendid condition of the asylum, and
all Idaho Is proud OF the institution.
An evening OF the week spent with
the medical superintendent and his
family, gave us delightful opportun-
ity 10 see what every visitor may see Of
the institution every day in the week.
AS we understand IL there are no holi-
day occasions for dress parade, for In
spection OF visitors, and no plans and
arrangements TO attract the public eye.
The entire management shows meth
cd, system and order, like the work
ings OF well-adiusted and regulated ma
chincry. The superintendent has an
efficient corps Of employees; every one
suited 10 his and her place, and every
one capable and willing TO give the in
stitution his and her best services.
The wards, the sitting-rooms, the
sleeping apartments. the dining-rooms,
the store-rooms, the kitchen and the
dairy-room, all have the strictest at
tcntion and all are kept In the cleanli-
est condition and most systematic or
der. The patients show in their dress
and IN their department, crazy though
they be, the splendid care given them.
The asylum owns a magnificent farm
and It's fields of grain, hay, vegetables,
fruits, etc, are all promising, and,
with favorable season, win yield an
abundant harvest. As far as farm,
/ garden and dairy products go, the in.
stitution Is well-nigh self-supporting
. The patients who are physically heal
thy assist in the general work Of the
, institution 10 the extent of healthfu
exercise and occupation of their time
: during the pleasant hours of the day.
The superintendent is giving much
. thought and attention to the improve
ment of the grounds, with trees, shrub
berry, flowers and serpentine walks ant
driveways, and, indoors, to the making
OF the sitting-rooms, wards and exercis
ing halls cheerful and beautiful an'
fragrant with potted and cut-howers.
The institution has a good orchestri
3 made up from It's employees, and, as of
ten as occasion justifies, the patient
!; are treated TO good music and are priv
!, ileged TO spend short time in th'
}. pleasure of the quadrille, which the
always enjoy as well as they did in tn
c DAYS when treason held her sway.
The asylum and its management TAX
precedence of all the State institution
