cordingly expected that the com. race

spread interest likely TO be aroused. The
route. as last year, will be from Seventh

DICNITARY FELL
BEFORE ROYALTY

In each description of the opening
of parliament by King Edward. and of
the courts which he holds at BuclSing-
ham Palace, mention is made of the
fact that he and his consort we're pre-
ceded by the great dignitaries of the
royal household. walking backwards"
This is an accomplishment. indeed
one might almost describe It as an art
that is by no means easy to acquire.
and yet which is indispensable to those
who are called upon to bask i'm what
is known as "the sunshine of royalty"
It consists in walking backward three
steps. followed by a low bow, then
half turn and three siding steps. then
another half turn, and three more Steps
backwards, with another bow, and so
on.
This walking backwards has TO no
done not merely on the level, but also
up and down stairs. which is even still
more arduous, and requires an immense
amount of practice. Those not accu-
toned thereto sometimes come to grief
in the same manner as did the late
Duke of Argyll.
The latter. on one Of those rare oo-
casions on which Queen Victoria OPEN
ed parliament in state. attended her
majesty, and carried the crown of
the realm on a velvet cushion. At tho
conclusion of the ceremony, during
which he had occupied a place on the
dais of the throne in the House OF
Lords. he proceeded to move back
wards leading the way for the Queen.
4 He forgot, however, the steps of the
dais. and when he reached the edge
/ of the latter he fell backwards. an
huddled up in his long and heavy err
mine barred peers robes, from the folds
of which he was extricated with dir-
hculty.
The Queen, whose face showed more
concern than amusement, although the
gravity of those around her was sore
! ~ taxed by the spectacle presented
by the Cock of the North.'' (as the
Duke was called. in consequence Of his
somewhat strutting gait); addressed a
few kindly words to him. expressing
the hope that he was not hurt and then
3 swept out with her cortese.
It is scarcely necessary to add that
B walking backwards constitutes a taken
; of great respect II is an act of hom-
age that men of the old regime I'm
Europe still accord to every great lady
of their acquaintance when they bacl,
out of her presence at the conclusion
of call and is based on the doctrine
hat it is diseourteous to ever turn the
back to any one who is entitled 10
! Difference.
The turning of the back upon a per-
son is to such an extent a demonstra
tion of disregard and contempt. that
: it has even come to be used as a figure
/ of speech for the expression of aver.
7 sion. and hence it is not unnaturslls
forbidden by the etiquette o fmost OF
the courts of Europe.

EXPECT BIG TIMBER TRADE.

After two and a half years of de-
preston i'm the Washington timber
industry. as compared with the ban
ner year of 1906. the lumber and
shingle manufacturers now expect that
this year will see both the production
and sales greatly exceed those Of four
years ago. Heavy orders are coming
i'm floods from hundreds of eastern
lumber yards. whose stocks have been
running low for two years. The re-en.
advance in the prices of Southern pine
have augmented the demand f0r Puget
Sound products. Shingle mills arc
likewise receiving large orders, with
the stocks at mills and coast terminals
1000 carloads below the normal supply
at this season. All the northern rail-
road lines expect to haul east this
year every carload of forest praducts
for which they can supply equipment
and power. The Isthmian Canal Com
mission has called for bids on 300o.po0
feet OF iumher I'm large sizes. The gov
ernment has invited bids on 2,550.e00
feet Of lumber for the Philippines
Two million feet of spruce are being
used on Grays Harbor in manufac-

TEXAS, THE
LOVE EMPIRE

Bearing in mind that It was only 65
years ago that Texas was admitted to
the Union, this is an astonishing record
in empire building. For Texas is cer-
tainly an empire. None of the monar-
chies OF Europe. with the exception Of
Russia, can show a larger area than
hers. she possesses 81, 900 square miles
more of territory than the Kaiser
r,alm. Iiom this il Will he seen that
great as have been her achievement
of the last few decades, they are, after
all. inconsiderable in comparison with
what the future has in store for her.
Her great diversity of soil, the multi
farious character Of her natural re-
! sources, her geographical position
and the high type Of immigration which
has swelled her population. all point
TO the day when IN numbers and wealth
and every adjunct of empire. save thos,
of making treaties and levying war
she will be on par with the old worl,
