OF this attire is that 1t makes the
wearer seem painfully aware Of himself.
Apparently it is impossible to conceal the sense
OF dressiness he feels. His self.consciousress
or his stays, or whatever it is that holds in his
waistcoat, moreover, keeps him in a state Of

There was never such asininity in the fashions
since Berry Wall wore his swallowtail below his

Congre IS has done its share of the ma
tionL duty in the present emergency by enact
ing general quarantine law of most radical
nature and by providing our quarantine organ
ization with in epidemic fund of ono mill
ion dollars. Our officials. therefore, armed
with the paramount authority of the new law,
and supplied with the necessary sinews Of war,
have been enabled to map out a comprehensive
plan Of campaign that gives every promise Of
success against the foreign enemy. The per-
sonnet Of the marine hospital service has been
extended and enlarged. new quarantine sta
tions and hospitals have been projected. the
feet Of vessels at the disposal Of the service has
been augmented. extraordinary preparations
have been made abroad. and a system Of inland
and coastwise precautions is being formulated
Mt home.
THREE LINES OF ACTIVITY
This plan Of campaign contemplates three
distinct and separate lines of activity. First
. thorough quarantine on the other side OF the
water; second. q rigid quarantine on this side,

and third, q quarantine inland to prevent any
possible spread Of the dreaded plague between
our various states and territories. The foreign
quarantine is an entirely new departure. 1t is
unique, having never been tried except in q
few isolated cases. At Havana. for instance.
this government has kent q special sanitary in
spector for a number of years and his services
In examining and reporting vessels bound for
ports in our southern states have been invalu-
able. But no general system of foreign in
epection has ever before been undertaken by
any government and it is hoped by our quar-
antine experts that much will be accomplished
from this branch Of the service.
FOR FOREIGN DUTY.
Nine eminent surgeons have been detailed
from the marine hospital service for this foreign
duty az the outset, under the provisions of the
law authorizing quarantine abroad. Some Of
them have already sailed for Europe and the
remainder viii leave in few days. They are

be aasigned to other ports from time to time,
should occasion warrant.
HOW THE PLACES WILL BE FILLED.
These officers have been taken mainly from the
regular United States marine hospitals and quar-
antine stations. Their places at home will be
supplied by younger officers Of the service,
while the places Of these younger officers will
In turn be filled by acting assistant surgeons
under the supervision Of older officers until this
seasons crisis is over. Owing to this draft on
the service the corps viii be increased and
board Of surgeons has been called to meet in
Washington at the marine hospital headquarters
on Monday next to examine the host Of appli-
cants who are seeking admission to the CORPS.
rHRfI NEW sTATIoNa
The present federal quarantine stations will
be augmented by the addition Of at least three
others, which will be established at once. The
eight stations now in operation are the Della

THE RULES FOB HOME PORTS.
As to more specific rules Of administration
at our home ports the officials of the marine
hospital service are now actively engaged at the
headquarters here in formulating code which
shall have uniform application and execution
at all the quarantine statious-state local and
federal. The recent law requires the super
vising surgeon general to make an examination
OF all the quarantine laws Of the various states
and municipalities. Dr.. Wyman is now making
this inquiry, and in order to bring the auaran-

and agreeable personal relations and to avail
