rt,nalabt be tatereticelly possible
to conceive of a aeorld of vadat only
one• inaa was *the occuPaat mid lord,
but as a matter of fact the sole
world a which we as yet heve had
personal experience is a populous
sphere. The individual man, es we
find him, exists in soeiety. Even in
Eden there was a society—of two.
To -day human society is a huge and
bewildering complex—a corabiaatiou
of multitudes of lesser societies, For
the purpose of the philosopher, how-
elfer, soettety, whether in. the sphere
a savage*" or of civilization, is the
aSeociate activity of men, or -their
llseelleCtively considered..
At this peint the questioe emerges
Wt is the relation of the individual
#1°1 to society? The ready reply is that
society Is the aggregate of the iridi-
viduals wbo compose it, the alma
total of all human units that axe
footed up, in its statistical celenens,
Society is this inae, plus that man
plus that other, and Se oil. Tilts
definition may indeed, be accepted so
far as it goes, but. yet it immediate-
fillggeSta tlIO other •questioo. What
kiwi of iudividuols compose eociety?
A. dog ter a horse is an individual in
one sense, yet titere is no real canine
society or equine association. A
kennel is ZIOL Glilk nor a steble a
porliament. SoCiety in the, proper
ems(' is composed of intelligent, son -
tient, beings, each possessed of per-
aeaalitY, each an a.Xlimal, rnay be,
Yet each a. rational ond religious aat.
ea"
If therefore it is correct to say
that the individual exists in society,
it is also true thot society exists in
the individual. It is Made up of
viduals both in the numerical
and cpuditative senses. What they
are it is. It has no distingung
quality apart from them. for society
is not an Indefinite abstraction, but
a concrete contbination of living
facts and forces. Experts in ocean-
ography aro telling us that the great
ocean would appear black to the eye
Of the voyager, over its depths, were
it not for the znyrie.ds of marine
creatures on or near its surface,
which reflect the light of the sun and
give it its seeming color. Just so,
society is colored this way or that
by the intensely live human wilts
that compose its huge mess. Other-
wise it would be a characterless ab-
straction.
• We must moreover assume that
the individuals composing human so-
ciety possess a. coramon tonstituLion,
rational and moral. They aro not
absolutely heterogeneous units, he.V-
ing not the slightest interest in com-
mon, and being utterly unable to
understand and influence one anoth-
er. They have their points of con-
tact. It is possible for ono man to
sympathize or co-operate with his
fellowmen, because of en underlying
/ unity which comprises n.11 human
nature, because there is such a thing
not only as man, but also as man-
kind. 'Since man is not just an in-
dividual animal, but also a personal
soul, it is permissible to speak of
such a thing as manhood, as a real-
ization of that human nature whose
law or controlling principle will be
essentially the same is the law of
society's highest development. The
norm of the individual life thus be-
comes morally and qualitatively
identical with the norm of the social
life.
Viewed in the light of this priuci-
pte, many of the artificial difficulties
which are raised over the questions
of State action, State rights, per-
sonal liberty, paternalism and the
like, disaPPear as mists before the
• rays of the sun. For as a matter
of ethical theory. at least, there
should be no great difficulty in see -
that the -State and the individual
tiro not- na2ara1 enemies, but colab-
;press, and •that society is not the
.sepulchre of in.dividualism, but that
society and the individual exist for
ends that are greater than both,
that is, for substantially the same
great moral purposes—to realize the
personal destiny of each and every
member of the race according to the
• moral constitution of all things giv-
en by the hand of the Creator. So
far then from its being the case that
• society properly constituted negates
or denies the individual, society is
rather, as cleaned by a clear thinker,
"the mechanism of his personal life."
And only when men come to lay
stress less on mere community of
possessions, and more and more up-
on this moral eommunism, based on
a common spiritual constitution in
• the ,nature of maa himself, will the
social millennium draw near with
fleeter foot, and the associate life of
humanity exhibit itself in ideal
forms.

Capt. Geo. Crandon, of Lindsay,
Tells How He Secured Re-

gerous Malady.
Prom the Watchman, Lindsay,. Ont.
In the town of Lixecisa.y and sur-
unding country no man is better
known or more highly respected than
Capt. Geo, Crandon. Forty-seven
years ago he was owner and captain
of the first steamer that navigated
the Seugog. Since that tune success
has crowned his life both on land
and water. For forty-nine years he
was a. member of the Lindsay town
council. Ile is now 78 years of ago
and enjoys the best of health,- but it
has not always been thus. Some
years ago the exposure and worry
incident to bis calling began to tell
upoil his health, and bis heart show-
ed signs of weakness. Ilis sufferings
and complete restoration through the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
best told by himself. To a reporter'
the captain gave the following story:
"Several years ago my heart began
to bother me. At first I took little
notice of it, but the trouble gradu-
ally grew worse until I had to sum-
mon medical aid. I suffered much
pain and at times was attacked by
smothering spells which caused me
great distress. Frequently these
spells attackedme during the night
and it Was • with difficulty that. I
managed to breathe at all. I con. -
suited several doctors; but their
medicine failed to benefit inc. I then
tried a much advertised remedy but
this also 'failed to help me. I had
'always been _fond of smoking, but I
was in such poor health that a few
puffs from a cigar would distress me
so much that I had to give it up al-
together. I grew worse day by day
and began to think my end was near
and that I would die from the trou-
ble. Some time ago I was advised
• to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Af-
ter taking one box. I noted an irn-
Provement in my. condition and so r
'continued their use. I kept on im-
proving till now I am as well and
strcing as 1 ever was in ray life be-
fore and have not been bothered
with the least -sign of my former
malady for months. I nen now able
to enjoy a smoke as I used to with-
out. feeling the least distress. All
this I owe to the greatest of all re-
inediee, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
• Rich, red blood and strong nerves
are the keystone to health. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are the most wide-
ly known • and . praised of medicines
because from first dose to last they

lir.= Would Yoit Like to Wear a
Salmon Skin jacket.
Several garments made entirely of
fish -skins, and made to be worn, too,
were recently put on exhibition, in
the Museum of Natural History in
New York, in a remarkable collec-
tion, of curios gathered in eastern Si-
beria by Professor Ilerthold Laufer,
of the Jesup North Pacific expedi-
tion. These fish -skin clothes are the
work of the women of the remote

Oily. ele and Gold tribes of the Iliver
The tribes live entirely by fishing
and hunting. Salmon, Which aSeend
the river' to spawn, are their staple
food, and the salmon skins, after be-
ing treated by the 'women, provide
material for their clothes.
First the scales are removed, so
carefully that the skin is not brok-
en. Then the skin is tanned and
dressed to make it durable, and fin-
ally the women sew it into gar-
ments.
Salmon skin, when made into
clothes by the Amur Indians, is Pike
kid in appearance and softness , fait
it is tougher than kid—in fact, al-
most as tough as parchment. It is
dyed yellow, and red, and indigo and
some of the garments into which it
is made are highly ornate. Curious-
ly enough, most of the ornamen-
tation is on the back,
The garments are sewn together
with fine thread, also made of fish -
skin. Stillanother use to r which
fish -skin is 'Put is to decorate the
boots of both men and women, sec-
tions ol highly -coloured skin being

boots are made.

collection is a warm weather garm-
ent for it is unlined. If it had been
made in Paris it would be called a
pelisse. Its front overlaps, and it
seems to have reached the ankles of
the wearer.
In colour it is deep yellow, and it
is highly ornamented. The outer
edges are bordered with a fish skin
band of dark indigo blue, and head-
ing this is a narrow strip of red. Up
the side seams 'blue panels are fast-
ened in a graceful arabesque design.
The edges 'of. the arabesques are
fastened to the body with as minute
stitches as if sewn by a machine.
13ands of sleepier designs ornament
the tops of the sleeves, and there are
blue' cuffs decorated in outline. An-
other gown shows three bands about
two inches wide, in dark blue, yellow
and red .laid close together.
This garment is further ornament-
ed with scroll figures in blue, each
about. two inches long, over the en-
tire- surface. • Near the neck, in
front, is a fair limitation of a roost-

NEWS OF ANOTB:Ell, SUCCESS
ON THE PART OF DODD'S
ICIDNEY PILLS.
Am. Alberta Man Reports His En-
tire Satisfaction with the
World Famous Remedy—Blood
Disorder the Cause of Ilis Trou-
ble—Dods:Ps Kidney Pills Have
'Removed it aud lie is Thank-
ful.
Mairaiore, Alberta, July 1st—
(Special).—Dodd's ICidney Pills are
just as well thought of in the great
Northwest as they are any place else
in the world. The people have con-
fidence in them. They do as they
are claimed to do.
Nor is the claim a email one.
Dodd's ICidney Pills are claimed to
cure some of. the most dangerous
and deadly maladies that flesh is
heir to, and what is more, they do
it. The proof is positive. Thous-
ands and thousands of reputable
people attest it.
Por instance everyone knows
Bright's Disease at one time meant
the sentence of death. Does it now?
Ask Arthur Colely, of Somerset,
Man. He was cured of Bright's Dis-
ease, the last stages of it, by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure the
lesser disorders of the human sys-
tem arising from Kidney Disease
with just as much certainty and an
even greater promptness, Of these,
Skin Eruptions, such as Boils and
Pimples, arising from an impure
state of the blood are not the most
uncomanen or the least distressing.
Dodd'' Kidney Pills, by improving
the action of the Kidneys purify the
blood, and Boils and Pimples imme-
diately disappear.
Walter H. A. Noble of Blairmore,
Alberta, writes in this connection:
had been troubled with Pimples
all over my face, and Backache. I
tried everything to cure it, all kinds
of medicine, but failed.
"I was told to try Dodd' S Kidney
Pills and did so at once. I got
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and took one after every meal.
They cured me. They are the only
things that ever did me any good. I
will always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
in case of sickness and advise all
other sufferer's to do so."
