The wife of Senator Frye of Maine
died yesterday, after brief illness. in
her apartments at the Hamilton in this
city. Mrs. Frye was well known and
highly esteemed in Washington where she
has resided for thirty years. For larger
part of this period, she and her husband
have occupied the same rooms at the
Hamilton, from whose windows beauti-
full view over Franklin Park may be OBJ
tained. Mrs. Frye was not very active of
late in Washington society, but was be-
loved by all who knew her. In appear
ance she was very youthful. She certainly
did not look over thirty and it is almost
impossible that she was sixty-seven years
of age at the time of her death. The
remains will be taken to Lewiston, Me-,
for interment.
The Senate and House of Representa-

it is not likely that many members of

Chronic Coughs and

Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of Christendom.
Diseases.

Catarrh hovers obviously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts a black shadow Of despair over
all lands. It's stealthy approach and
it's lingering stay makes it dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
1t chang ! the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing Of
Group, and the song of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In its whitening grasp the
rounded form of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the sallow, haggard visage Of
the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of CONVERSE
ton, speech gives way to splitting, the
repulsive odors Of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss Of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight, impair hearing and destroy
taste

FRUIT FLIES.
Small Insects Among Canned Fruit on

Small Insects Among Canned Fruit on
tho Shelves.
Often housekeepels who do not take
sufficient pains with the scaling of the
cans OF fruit they put away in the fall,
find on the surface OF the contents lit
tie, slender maggots, feeding on the
contents. These larvae are probably
Of the species called fruit flies. They
belong to a class of insects containing
some thirty kinds. The flies are light
brown in color They are so small
that they are commonly thought of as
ordinary gnats. They are attracted by
the acrid odor OF vinegar as well as
fruit. Stone jars simply covered with
cloth to allow the fermentation Of
vinegar are easily invaded 10y the in
sects, which lay their eggs on the
pieces Of fruit that are projecting
above the surface Of the fluid. The
Matching of the larvae is soon follow
ed By the formation Of the pupae,
which are found on the sides of the
cans, usually. Some four days later
the flies issue and begin the round OF
production again, multiplying with
great rapidity. 1t is a characteristic of
the larvae of these flies to live only
in upper layers Of the fruit and this
fact makes it possible to save at least
a portion Of the contents Of the Jars.
Fruit put in cans and sealed up air.
tight Is safe. Eggs laid upon cloth
tops or near slight openings between
lid and can often hatch into worms
that find a way inside. Pyrethrum
powder used in the fruit room or cell
lar will have a good effect in clearing
out the flies and this. with the pre-
cautions mentioned in connection with
canning, should rid place OF the in
sects.-George Edwin Black in Indian

Veterinary Surgeons Hard Luck.

Veterinary surgeons are complaining
of hard luck. With the cable cars, the
trolley cars and now the automobiles,
their business has gone to the dogs,
metaphorically speaking. Soon there
will be as many surgeons as there are
hsrses. 1t is nearly as bad as that
now, and, as automobiles become
cheaper and the likelihood of airships
coming in to supplement them grows,
the prospect Is not bright one. Lots
OF New York veterinaries are giving
up the attempt to make a living and
are coming west.
