"This staircase was brought from
London by Richard Rush and built
into his country home, named Syden,

Rush was United States minister to

Rush bought the old-time staircase

Michigan's vital Statistics Bureau.

The high standing of the Michigan
vital statistics bureau is shown by the
fact that the system of classifying
deaths adopted in this state In Janu-
airy, 1898, has now been adopted In
nearly every state in the union. The
system was in use in Paris for years.
and no nation in Europe saw fit to
adopt it. Now, however, it is in use
in Wurtemburg; it has been adopted
In Madrid, BUDAPEST, Oporto "and
many other places. The adoption OF
this system will render comparisons OF
mortality statistics in the different
countries of the world possible. Here
tofore the comparisons made have al.
WAYS been inaccurate on account OF
