THE New York Tribune call attention
to the promp:neSs with which Russia mas
followed up its declaration OF war by
military movements. She has been more
PROMPT than france in the Austrian war
of 1858; or Germany in the Austrian war
of '6G; or France in the German war of
1870. This ,promptness is pretty good
proof that Russia was ready to move,
perhaps began moving, before war r..' was
declared. 49, s t5f. a-... -r..,...,r ..s,-

throughout Michigan. and consequently
the state board of health has issued a
pamphlet embodying. in a popular form,
explicit. directions in regard to its restric-
ton and prevention. 1t is an excellant
treatise. and if its Instructions are FOL
lowed, enough juvenile life may be saved
every year to pay many times the annual
expenses of the board. For while in one
sense the value of a human life is beyond
estimation. it is undenable that every
person has defined pecuniary value
based upon the cost of rearing. and his
present value to the community as Il
producer;and whatever saves or prolongS
life adds so much to the wealth and re
sources of the state. iae 81. Is ..ff

cluded not to, call Congress together nm
till the middle of next October. The rea

gressmen TO hold a session during The

sumed that the real reason is to give The
