Uertainty and PROBABILITY.

Moral certainty may be defined in a
rough way to be that degree of certainty
which is produced by a preponderance OF
the probabilities Moral certainty is the
highest degree Of certainty that it is pos
sible for the human mind TO attain, except
perhaps in the exact sciences. In the
purely abstract sciences, those in which
conclusions are deduced by reasoning alone,
there is nosuch thing as absolute certainty,
and in what may not appropriately be
denominated the mixed sciences there IS
little if anything that can with truth be
affirmed to be morally certain.
This is proved by the different views and
the changing theories Of men eminent in
the medical world and by the conflict OF
opinion which has existed, and is likely
always to exist, among the greater law
yers and the wisest judges and among the
greatest statesmen. The degree Of prob
ability may be very great, great enough,
indeed to produce firm conviction, and yet,
after all, there is no absolute certainty.
Men must act upon probability, and he
who can best judge Of the weight and force
of probabilities is, in the practical affairs
of life, the stronger and most successful Of
men, If men acted only on absolute GER
tajnty the affairs Of life would be confined
within a very narrow compass. The range
Of mems actions, aspirations and achieve
Inents would be little wider than that Of
the ant or spider if they waited until
demonstrative certainty enabled them TO
proceed. Doubtless the torch of demonstra-
ton would better light the way than the
feeble lamp Of probability, but we cannot
have the torch and we must move by the
light Of the lamp or else stand still.-Chief
Justice Elliott Of Indiana.

Most beekeepers use for@purposes OF
transportation an ingenious wooden box
with sliding cover, invented by DR. Ben
ton, an expert attached to the department
Of agriculture. 1t Is four inches long and
is divided into three communicating COM

is filled with soft candy for the insects TO
feed upon; the one at the other end has
holes for ventilation, while the middle
compartment is dark chamber for the oc-
eupants 10 crawl into when 1t is cold.

Saving Money on Four Dollars a Week.

An operate manager in this city, now
wealthy and famous, once gave me his
tory of his commencement in New York.
He came here thirty years ago. With a
compatriot he hired room, for which
they paid two dollars a week. They
marketed and cooked for themselves and
their weekly expenses, washing included,
were $3.50 each. Both men were well edu-
Gated and Of decent breeding, but poor and
strangers. They managed to earn their
S2.50a week apiece, their s., then 81, S
and soon. When the s. stage was reached
they commenced to save money.
Within two years each was doing well.
Now one Of them owns and lives in the
house Jim Fisk converted into palace for
himself and is man Of mark. What be-
came Of the other forget. 1T is dearer
living in New York now than before the
war" said my manager, in telling me the
story, but if ! had to begin again on five
dollars week would not be afraid. H.

RED LETTER DAYS.

me calendar IN which my love and
Find our red letter days, Is not the one
Through which the birthdays Oh great no
roes run.
Mere men who for some cause have dared to
die,
Makers Of nations kings could not deny;
Nor seers nor singers who Applause have
won,
Those who In science epochs have begun
All these our daily record passes by.
But still to us there comes no empty year
Each day that in the long procession strays
Speaks OF some other made 10 us thrice dear
AS wa have walked in loves unhindereo
ways;
Bono festival for us is always hero
And all our days, sweetheart, are holidays

HoPKINsvlLLE. KY. June 15-There is no
material change 10 note in our market in any
respect. Offerings continue to show large
proportion of tobacco more or less already
damaged. or in condition that will show
damage later on. Very little fat tobacco
offered, and brought extremely full outside
prices. The market continues strong ON all
the kinds that appear, and reflections are
mainly confined TO nondescript AID damaged
tobaccos, which are not taken as freely as
several weeks ago. The now crop is nearly
al planted: much of it is IN the grass and with
less preparation Of the land than we have
ever known before.
