A wise community, like a far-sightel
individual, seeks to gain some profit
from adverse conditions. The dispo-
sltlon to make adversely yield advan-
tage, II only the slightest, constitutes
one difference between strength and
weakness in character. The present
dry season in California, drawback
IN some particulars, is to witness
permanent addition to the resources Of
the state through the wells dug aud
pumps purchased. Thus one path 10
larger prosperity lies through drought

Likely to Straighten Out the COun-

London, Aug. 27.--The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says: There
is nothing likely to straighten the coun-
try's dsillusions out more than the re-
turn Of the repatriatcd soldiers. Or
the 225,O0O soldiers sent to the Antilles
in 1895 $4,000 have died and $4,000 OF
them have returned home, or are re-
turning, to be disbanded after being
paid a portion of their nine months
back pay. The pacific condition of the
country averts the danger of the dis
contented soldiers being made the tools
of political or military intriguers and
Carlists.

Winchester is identified with the Carr
eliot of the Athurian legends. Curious
ly enough, this very time has been
chosen for serious attack upon the
history of Alfred. Our chief knowl-
edge concerning him is derived from
a Latin manuscript attributed to AS
ser. But careful Investigators now de-
clare that manuscript to be a mere
compilation of more or less apocryphal
tales, made some centuries after AL
fred's time, and there is thus actual
danger that the great king may be-
come as doubtful and shadowy a per-
sonage as Arthur himself Neverthe-
less, the word will probably continue
to cling to the tale of the burnt cakes
