1895, and sara in November, 1896.
The saving will therefore be fully
sixty per cent. this winter as COM
pared with last winter, notwithstand-
ing last winter but five wards we're
heated, while this winter we shall
heat seven wards all the time and a
part OF the time warm the entire
eight wards. And perhaps it is not
too much to say that the kind
and quantity of heat delivered in
the wards makes our plant the most
complete and serviceable in the
State.
ONE OF THE WARDS.
But our supreme curiosity has not
yet been gratiied. We want to
have a peep into the wards. Were
we ordinary visitors, this wish would
not be gratifed. 1t would be neither
prudent nor ethical, explains the
superintendent to subject these I'M
fortunates to the inspection of the
public. Many are private patients,
who pay their way, and who are very
sensitive to intrusions OF this kind.
This explanation takes time and
ere we ascend a flight OF steps into
ward A, we are led into a room in
the basement, useless hitherto, but
now fitted with a tolerably complete
library Of standard literature and
current periodicals. Here attend
ants off duty and the most advanced
patients spend their leisure hours. 1t
was a happy thought Of DR.. Hardy,
and the benefits are out of all pro-
portion to the triAing cost.
One of the cuts presented here
with shows the central hall ola ward
in perspective. Rooms open on
each side. OF one OF these a cut is
also given. Patients have the ut
most freedom in this hall. The heavy
oak chairs seen in the picture, were
fastened to the floor, but DIR, Hardy,
wishing to destroy every suggestion
that this is a place of confinement,
had the clamps removed. Each
patient must make his own bed and
keep his room in order. If he does
not know how, the attendants in
struct him till he learns.
, As we pass along this corridor,
we OF course meet with some singu-
lar experiences, which would furnish
an interesting chapter in themselves,
did space or propriety permit Of their
publication. Suffice it 10 say, that
after shaking hands with Napo-
leon and being entertained by the
King Of Norway, and meeting other
such pleasant diversions, we reach
the other end and inspect the baths,
dining room, closets, etc, and find
the same scrupulous order and neat
ness.
Patients are most thoroughly
classified according to wards, and
are promoted or denoted according
to the development OF their maladies.
Attendants must make daily and
hourly studies OF their charges, and
report any changes at once to the
medical superintendent. Every
effort is made to give patients self
control. They are not called upon
to work, but are given permissions
and accordingly it is an honor that
most OF them strive to win.
"T' statistics show that about
fifty sent OF the patients have
been employed during the year.
OF this large per cent ten were en-
ployed prohtably with slight gain
