All day long yesterday, according to
the doctors, the steady improvement in
General Sheridan's condition continued
until O'Clock last evening

and uneasy and bulletin was issued at

which said that the Generals condition
was not a. favorable a. when the pre-
ceding bulletin was issued. The conserv-
atiyeness of the doctors made the mildly
wOrded bulletin very alarming.
The following bulletin was issued by
the Generals ply sicians at | o'clock
since the early bulletin this morning
there has been no marked improvement
in General Sheridan's condition, except,
possibly, a shade OF improvement. He
has rested quietly, without pain, and ex-

our West-End Streets.
RICHMOND, May 81, l.sc
Editor ct tie Times

Editor ct tie Times:
Sir-I desire to call the attention of the
public, and especially oflhe City Council,
TO the necessity of numbering our cross
streets so as TO cover as many OF them as
possible and thus do away with the con
fusing names in the growing West End.
Let Lombardy be First street, and let the
numbering go on down through Fulton.
This plan would greatly simplify the
matter of locating points, and cannot
see that any reasonable objection can be
raised to it. except little temporary con
fusion, which will speedily disappear As
regards the trouble about the deeds, that
| think would amount TO nothing, for the
new deeds would conform to the new
nomenclature, and the records would in
dicate sufficiently plain the locality OF
the old.
Let us remember that we have large
and growing city, and that we must adopt
metropolitan methods. How it must
strike visitors to see First street near the
middle of our city. }. y.

There is very strong contrast between
the appearance Of things on the two sides
Of the boundary between Germany and
Russia. On the German side the land.
scape is dotted with beautiful, coy homes,
with every evidence of prosperity and
thrift, with well cultivated fields, vine
clad stables, neat looking kline, hedges
tastefully trimmed and patches Of flow
ers, while in the towns and villages were
handsome railway stations, tempting
cafes, largo factories, handsome school
houses, and every symbol Of higher
civilization and prosperity. On the east
side Of the line there are none of these,
and the change takes place instantly.
Thrift and comfort are replaced by dis
tress and degradation. The fields are un-
cultivated, except in patches here and
there-spots where il was the easiest to
plow-the cattle are lean and hungry,
the homes of the people are log or mud
huts, and there is not a schoolhouse 10 be

In those countries where, unlike Cali
fornia, they have to pray for fine wealth
er, il needs sometimes n great deal Of
faith To stick to the church. In Scotland,
for instance, one of tho few really relig-
ious countries in the world, large pro-
portion Of the minister's duty Is TO pray
for fno weather. There was Il quiet
Scotch village where the farmers were
all in the dumps. The Scotch mist kept
coming down all the time, and it alter
mated with frequent very heavy storm.
The minister had prayed every Sabbath
for fine weather without avail for four
weeks. He met an cid farmer one day.

A servIceahIc srran nnntr.

A correspondent OF an educational
newspaper believes he has found good
thing in the way Of serviceable scrap
book. Instead of leaves on which to
paste the scraps, IL has pockets or cnvcl-
opes, into which he drops his cuttings
from newspapers or magazines. BY this
simple method he is saved the time and
trouble of pasting. These cuttings are
classified according to subjects; all the
scraps on a given subject. or class of
subjects, are put into the same envelope.
The title Of the subject is written on the
envelope containing it, and the name is
also entered in the index in front of the
book. When information is wanted upon
any subject all the scraps will be found
in one place, and can be easily removed
consulted and replaced at pleasure.
Besides printed scraps, notes, ones
own thoughts reduced TO writing, lee
lures or addresses can thus be filed, and
record of tho time and place of deliv-
cry written on the outside Of the envel-
ope. Busy, practical men, literary men,
teachers or clergymen can in this way
keep their scraps of information in readi-
ness for future consultation. An in-
gcuious student of natural history has
perhaps an improvement upon this
method. Instead of n scrap book with
pockets or envelopes, he utilizcs row Of
pasteboard boxes made to resemble boo,s,
upon the backs Of which the contents,
Biography" Natural History" etc,
are inscribed. Both Of the foregoing
methods of scrap keeping have been
tested and found practically useful and
by either of them an article, when use
less or finally disposed of, can be with
drawn and destroyed. Chambers Jour
