Russia's Candle Consumption.

Russia uses more candles than any other country, 60,000,000 pounds a year being the estimate. A large part of these are made in houses Instead of at large factories. We will wager that on investigation will prove that the business men who have made a success in life were generously spanked when they were young. A mother’s darling has the worst sort of a handicap to overcome. The average poor man ia not more firmly convinced of anything than that one lias to be mean and dishonest In order to get rich. There never was a greater mistake. An honest man is one who admits that Ills baldness Is doe to old age, and not to sickness. .v • *-***.._•■ - 'V a* .
