Variation in Seedlings.

The law of variation operates in ev-
erything. In no one particular respect
do individuals resemble absolutely
their parents. Even in the time of
Towering there is a variation. Some
individuals will bloom earlier and
some later than others. This has been
more particularly marked in the more
showy-fiowered of our ornamental
trees. In the Koelreuteria this par
ticular variation is striking. In 100
trees, all raised from the same pack
age of seeds, there will be as much as
three weeks of difference in the time
of towering. Possibly the sexual vari-
alton may have something to 20 with
the difference in the Towering time, as
certainly it has to do with The showi-
ness of the blossoms. AS it is the case
with so many American AMI Japanese
trees. there is great tendency to a
division of sexes. Some Koelreuteria
trees are wholly barren. while others
are abundantly productive. The bar
rem trees have rather larger flowers,
and are more snowy in every respect,
and, so far as our somewhat limited
experience in this respect goes, are
among the first to flower. This little
difference in this respect has not been
noticed by cultivators as it deserves to
be.-MeehaG,S Monthly

KING HUMBERT OF Italy was assas-
sinated at Monza, small town near
Milan, on Sunday night. The assas-
sin, an anarchist, was taken with the
smoking revolver in his hand, and it
was with difficulty that the police
prevented his immediate lynching by
the people. The dead king was the
second Of his line, being the eldest
son of Victor Emmanuel. He was a
popular, safe and conservative sove-
reign, who has done much to place
Italy among the great nations of
Europe. The difficulties of his Office
have been great, and he has met
them in way that has commanded
admiration. His successor is Victor,
Prince of Naples, who, it is said,
lacks the fire and enthusiasm Of his
noted grandfather, and the practical
common sense Of his father.

IT is now quite generally believed
that the ENJOYS at Pekin are still
alive. 1t is perhaps as easy to guess
one way as the other, but the stories
that have filled the pages of daily
papers for the past few weeks giving
the horrible details OF a massacre
that perhaps has not taken place,
must be considered as creations of
enterprising correspondents, until the
allied armies, which it is said, are
now marching against the capital,
succeed in clearing the mystery.
