GRANARY WEEVILS.
An Interesting Paper From Mr.. Fietcht
Dominion EntoTnologist.

An Interesting Paper From Mr.. Fletcher,
Dominion Entomoiogist.
James Fletcher, Dominion entomolo-
gist, writes in regard to this pest:
"a good deal of CONSERVATION was
felt lately at the Worlds Columbian
exposition, at Chicago, when it became
known that nearly all the exposed
grain, including the ornaments and
decorations in the different courts of
the Agricultural building, was infested
by injurious insects. An order was is
sued by the superintendent of the
agricultural department forbidding
the distribution of any grain from
those courts, even when brought in
from outside for that express purpose.
Being in Chicago at the time, made a
careful examination of the agricul-
tural exhibits and found that the in
jury in the Canadian section was due

NEW HATS AND BONNETS.
Shapes and Materials of the Latest in
Ladies' Head Covering.

Shapes and Materials of the Latest in
Ladies' Head Covering.
Felt and satin cut in narrow strips
and braided together precisely as sum-
mer straws have been plated are
among the autumn hats and bonnets.
The dull felt, frightened by 1ustrous
satin of the same shade, produces an
excellent effect in tobacco brown,
black, ruby and other wintry colors
Plain smooth felt and glossy beaver re-
main in favor for hats for general
wear, while for more elaborate dress
are those of mirror velvet and satin
AS usual, jet bonnets are offered for
the demi-season, and promise to be less
eccentric than those worn at present.
They are mostly small crowns, formed
of jet spanglCs entirely, or of jet and
steel spangles together, and are greatly
enlarged by trimmings, satin ribbons,
birds, long pins of jet and full
aigrettes.
There is no great change in the shape
of round hats. The newest crowns are
large and slope gradually to high
round top. Of course these require
rather wide brims, which are arched in
front, and are turned up at the back in
two curves close against the crown.
There are also many hats of medium
size somewhat in sailor shape, with
low square crown, but with the stiff
brim projecting in front, and some
times doubled at the edge. This is
considered chic when made of black
glossy beaver, with dull felt facing
inside the brim, the double edge bound
with silk braid-Harper' Bazaar.

-It has been currently rumored lhat

1t has been currently rumored that
the present Legislature made radical
changes in the election law, especially in
the matter Of registration. This has nat
urally given rise to some doubt and con.
fusion among the election boards 10 sever
al localities. In order to set all straight
on this subject correspondent has
thoroughly investigated the matter by 60
ing over the various acts that have be-
come laws during this year, and also by
interviewing the Secretary of State, Mr..
Kelsey.
These efforts conclusively prove that
no alteration or amendment of the election
law was made by the Legislature, the on
ly cause for rumor to the contrary be-
ing bill which was introduced but failed
to pass the Assembly. This was known
as Senate No. As and contained among
other proposed changes an amendment
looking to the adjustment OF the house
to house canvass and consequent change
in the methods of registration now in
force. After passing the Senate this bill
was turned down by the Assembly be-
cause of its faulty construction.
The voters of New Jersey can therefore
rest in the fact that the mode of registra-
ton and other requirements of the Ballot
Reform act are still the same without the
slightest change in any particular.

MIR. W. w. Bloom, of Alton, Kansas,
who will be remembered as resident Of
this town some years ago, and who has
many friends here, in a letter written to
the editor of THE RECORD, few days
since, says:
We are having almost total famine in
this part of Kansas. / may say in the
western half OF this State there has been
an almost total failure of all kinds of crops
for the last two years, and unless there
comes rain soon, aud good, steady rain
for three or four days, 10 wet the soil
thoroughly, there will be no use for the
farmers to set in any wheat this Fall, for
the ground has got completely dried out
clear down into the subsoil, and 1t will
take power OF water TO get the soil IN
good condition so that anything can grow.
| Just tell you it is fearful here. | don't
know what is to become Of a great many
of the people this Winter, for the farmers
have failed with two years crops and
have nothing to live on next Winter, and
when the farmers fail all other kinds OF
business go with it, for it is the farmers
that have to support all other kinds OF
busness-here, at least, 10 the western
part of this State.
As look out Of the window / see three
white.top wagons passing by on their way
East. great many that have stock are
driving them back East, where they can
get something to Winter them on.
There is farmer that joins on the east
of Alton that seeded in with wheat last
Fall over one hundred acres, and this
Spring he saw his wheat failure, so he
put 10 corn, and now no corn and hardly
worth cutting up for fodder, aud he is a
good farmer; so you see as Pample
what is to become of great many others
that had not as good a show as he had
am afraid it is going to ruin good
many of our merchants, for they have
been trusting out heavily, with the ex-
pectation Of good crops, and as the crops
failed | can't see how they are TO get their
money, for there are a good many OF the
farmers that have got their farms mort
gagged for all they are worth, at least at
this present time.
This Democratic administration and
free trade is hard enough for US, and the
crop failure is still harder.

make the lives of wretched victims more
miserable than ever before. No dull

proved in nearly every scene, and now
takes rank among the foremost comedies

has been given to the stage setting and
