A friend of mine has just return
ed from "a long sketohing tour in
parts Of France and the Netherlands
and has told me many and curious
things about the way Englishmen
are considered by people who have
had no chance of a first hand ao-
quaintance with them. Ho told me
that country people in the parts he
visited regard the Englishman as
some uncouth monster with plenty
of money and an utter absence of
manners or taste. This feeling is
one / have also noted, and it un-
doubtedly arises from the curious
way in which our countrymen leave
their courtesy at home when they

The King Won the Pool.

Paul Neumann, once attorney gen.
eral of the Hawaiian Islands, used
to be fond of telling anecdotes about
some of the royal games of poker
A favorite tale referred to the peri
cd of the rebellion which came near
unseating the monarch. A big Jack
pot was in progress when messen-
gers arrived with the information
that a riot was in progress II was
decided to go home the moment the
pot was ended AS the king placed
his final bet ON the board the report
of the guns was heard.
Run for your livesP' cried Kala-
kaua- Out rushed the players, Kala-
kaua with them. About half way
home he made them stop and play
out the unfinished jack pot And, do
you know, said Mr.. NeumAnn, I'VE
were SO nervous that the king ran
in the joker for an ace and soooped
the money with an alleged hand of
four aces After the riot was over
we discovered the trick, but as he
had been a loser all summer it WAS
hardly good form to say anything. "

POLAR VEGETATION.
The Arctic Circle More Favorable 90 PlAnt
Life Than the Antarctic.

The Arctic Circle More Favorable 90 Plant
Life Than the Antarctic
In the highest latitudes yet reach
ed III tho west, in Ellesmere Land
and Grinnell Land, between so de-
grees and 80 degrees minutes north
latitude, the ground IN localities the
most favorable TO the developments
of vegetation is carpeted with
plants, many of them having bril-
hantly colored flowers, produced in
great profusion during the short but
continuous summer that there OBJ
tains. About 20 species were collect
ed within the latitudes named by
the naturalists of the last British
polar expedition. and they included
familiar SNOWY plants.
The Austrians found very differ
ent condition of things in the same
latitudes in Franz-Josef Land, east
ward of Spitbergen. Plants were
found, and of the same species, but
in an extremely stunted state, with
scarcely a flower to be seen, and
nowhere was there continuous vege-
tation a few square feet in extent.
In these very high latitudes seed
is rarely if ever perfected. and plants
increase only by vegetative develop
ment-suckers, underground stems
and trailing roofing stems. Yet the
greatest cold experienced-upward
of 100 degrees CFahrenheit) of frost
did not impair the vitality of
wheat that had been fully exposed
for four winters and four summers.
1t should be mentioned that none of
the plants inhabiting these high lat
itudes Is peculiar to the region;
that very few species are confined
| to the arctic regions, and that many
of them are widely spread in Alpine
| regions of lower latitudes, some
even recurring on the mountains
within the tropics, and few reach
/ the southern limits of vegetation.
In the southern hemisphere there
are now no towering (phanerogam-
ic) plants growing within 35 deg. Ses
of the pole, and countries iE as high
latitude as Scotland are absolutely
icebound. 1th georgia, in the
/ APae-.can region, and Macquarie is
land, in the New Zealand region,
may serve to illustrate the antarc-
tio-Aora and the southern limits of
Towering plants. They are small is
lands of comparatively slight eleva-
ton and both situated in "a degrees
south latitude. South Georgia is
about l, 900 miles east of Cape Horn
and nearly as far from the Falkland
islands, the nearest land, except
some very small islands, concerning
the vegetation of which nothing is
known.
Its exceeding meager fora has
probably been exhaustively investi-
gated, and the result is list of Is
species of Towering plants and no
ferns. Not one of these species il
peculiar to the island, and 8 out OF
the 13 inhabit both tho American
and the Australian or New Zealand
regions When we remember that
the antarctic fora now exists only
in such isolated and distant frag-
Dents, we are hardly prepared to
find almost the same homogeneity
as in the north, where there is prac-
tically n continuity of land. Yet SC
it is, and the only satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem is a former
greater land connection and continu.
Gus fora, probably in higher lati.
tudes, than the existing fragments.

ARDMoRE, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 70
THE TEXAS BOILERS.

That the slope to hades is easy
and well creased isl illustrated
by the case of the Texans, once
prominent in the Democratic
party, who have been fighting
the Democratic majority and
boiling Democratic conventions
In Texas for the last six years.
In the conference Of self-styled
National Democratslin Indian
apolis last week the Texas dele
gates were the only ones from a
state of any account that op-
posed Independent nominations
by the said so-called national
Democracy. The Texas dele
gates did not wish to hurt Nc
Kinley by pulling the votes OF
gold men to an Independent
ticket.
In other words, the Texas
disciples of Judge George Clark
of Wacoand Judge Rufus Hardy
of Corsicana have been so long
out of the Democratic party that
they are ready to go, bag and
baggage, into what Mark Hanna
calls the Republican party.
These "Jeffersonian Demo
Gratis" of Texas swim in the
same boat with Cyclone Davis
handful Middle Of the Road
Populists, who have always
been ready and anxious to beat
the palm of Democracy OF the
United States if they can only
fix up a scheme to do it.
For more than a year the
Clark Democracy of Texas and
the Cyclone Davis Populists
have beele as close as hand and
glove. If he had had his way
at Galveston last week Davis
would have turned the populists
e Texas1 bodily into Judge
