A Beautiful Meteor.

Shortly after half past nine
O'Clock last night one of the most
beautiful meteors eyer observed
made its appearance in the eastern
sky. 1t was not many degrees
above the horizon, and It's course
vas from south almost due north.
In its passage it described an arc of
about twenty-five degrees, and in
size, beauty and brilliancy was
something wonderful. 1t might be
described as pear shaped, and its
size was apparently about equal to
the diameter of the moon. 1t
seemed to emit from its edges a
fringe of blush green flame, which
added greatly to its size and beauty.
The flame being to all appearances
about twice the size of the moons
diameter. 1t was said to be the
most magnificent celestial phenom-
enon observed in this locality since
the last comet was seen.

Money Order Blanks,

The new money order blanks
which were designed some months
ago are gradually being put into use
as the various postofices throughout
the country draw their new supplies.
1t will not be many weeks before
the public will become we'll ac-
quainted with the new design, and
it is safe TO say that it will in all
probability prove popular change.
The new money order blanks are
in the form of q blank draft, and if
one were mixed in with lot of
drafts it would hardly be dis
tingulshed by any one who had be-
fore seen it. The effect is artistic
and pleasing, and altogether the
form and appearance of the new
blank is such as to make the recip-
lent feel more than ever as if he
had good thing. The old scheme
of notched numerals at the left end
of the blank is retained, as it has
proved a great convenience in busi-
ness and safeguard against fraud.
The dollars and cents are also
printed on the reverse of the blank
so that with nice register in the
press work both sides of the bit of
paper will show the precise amount
of the order.
