cheerfulness and Success.

The world is beginning to see that
people who can radiate sunshine and
carry gladness and good cheer wher-
ever they go, although they may be
poor, are of infinitely greater value to
society than the millionaire of money
who pauperizes everybody who comes
In contact with him by his close, op-
pressive methods. Largeness of heart
and generosity of soul make million
aires of character, who are worth
more to the world than mere moneyed
millionaires. The time will yet come
when we shall not have to depend on
rich furnishings. Character will be-
come so enriched in the upward growth
of the world that the surroundings,
however costly, will be considered but
a cheap setting of a precious life stone.
Cheerfulness is a potent factor of sue
cess.-Friend.

Queer African Mask.

Grotesque masks are worn in many
parts of Africa during dances and reli-
gious ceremonies. The reason is be
cause symbolic significance is at
tached to them and they are especially
supposed to possess the power of pre-
serving those who wear them from the
influence of evil spirits.
The masks are generally made of
wood. and some are carved with rare
skill. When chief or the head OF Il
family dies, he leaves his mask to bis
successor, and the latter is bound to
wear it, In every village there is an
artist who repairs masks and OCCASION
ally makes few new ones, and it is
said that no one does a more thriving
business than he.
Ethnologlsts have been trying to find
out the exact time when these masks
first came into use, but all they have
learned as yet is that they have been
popular in Africa for many centuries.
