Steel for Panama.

Washington, D. c., Dec 2o.-Sh!p-
ments of structural steel for the
caissons of the Atlantic terminal
docks OF the Panama canal were
commenced today and /, is expect
ed that the entire amount needed
will be unloaded at the isthmus with.
in a month. The steel is shipped in
flat sheets and IS rolled and riyeted
in fiye-foot sections at the Cristobal
boiler shop. About 90 per cent Of
the work is already completed.
New bids for the transportation OF
mails from Atlantic to Pacific ports
by way of the Panama canal were
asked for today by the postoffice
department. Postmaster General
Hitchcock was not satisfied with the
bid received from the American-Ha'
waian Steamship Company on the
last proposal, principally because it
modified the proposition OF the gov,
ernment. He hopes to obtain bids
for the service from several steam
ship companies Bidders have six
months in which to formulate their
proposals, and the bids will be open
ed about June | next.

that have place in a colonial garden of the
some features of the layout of the flower beds
that render the colonial garden distinctive and
particularly is this the case with the neatly
trimmed little hedges that serve as borders for
the various flower beds and in many instances
supply screens and boundary markers for the
garden.
In the case OF many of the older gardens all
or a portion of these hedges formed of the
richly tinted and sweet scented box. Indeed it
is the presence of this shrub which is likely to
distinguish genuine colonial garden from the
newer sort of floral setting. For be it known the
box Is very difficult to transplant successfully
some say impossible-and it is of very slow
growth. So much so, indeed, that handsome
hedge OF box is more likely than not to represent
the fruits of a century more of and atten-
ton. Withal the box will grow fairly well if left
to itself and only given time, but the watchful
care of a gardener is required if it is desired
to restrict it to certain limits, as, for instance,
the borders of flower beds
In the days preceding and following the Revo-
luton there were colonial gardens in all thir-
teen original states. but the finest of these were
located in Virginia. Nor was this to be won

perhaps not nationally prominent lived in the

lonial garden was not only an inevitable adjunct
of Virginia estate in those days of lavish Iiv-
ing. but it was in many instances the special
pride and hobby of the lord mistress of the
manor house
Now, strange to say, surprising number of
these old colonial gardens retain to this day
much of their old-time splendor. We say surpris
ing, because it must be remembered that when
the devastating tide of great Civil swept
over Virginia it played havoc with many an an
cestral estate and it would be too much to expect
that the gardens should not suffer did the
mansions Furthermore, many of the old Vir

means to maintain the old gardens in the man
