OF the stones were found to be thirty

FOR THE cHILDREN
The Appomattox Apple Tree.


Perhaps three-fourths of the people
1f this country believe that the final
surrender in the war Of the rebellion,
that Of General Lee to General Grant
took place under an apple tree at APP
pomattox. Va. II did take place at
Appomattox, but not under an apple
rec. Here ls what General Grant says
about It In his memoirs: WARS pro-
duce many stories Of fiction, some Of
which are told until they are believed
TO be true. The story Of the apple tree
Is one of those actions, based on a
slight foundation OF fact. AS I have
said, there was an apple orchard on
the side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
~ up the hill was a wagon road, which
Ut one point ran very near one of the
trees, so that the wheels Of vehicles
had on that side cut of the roots Of
this tree, leaving little embankment.
General Babcock of my stah reported
to me that when ne first met General
Lee the general was sitting on this en-
bankment, with his feet IN the road be-
low and his back resting against this
tree. The story has no other founda-
tlon than that" The surrender was
made In the house Of Mr.. Mclean on
the morning Of April Q, 1865.

Plants do not freeze to death in win
ter, but perish from thirst. The proc
ess Is simple. The cold causes the
withdrawal Of the water from the cells
OF the plant, forming Ice crystals out
side Of the cells. The frost, cooling
and contracting the surface, acts as a
sort Of pump. and as soon as the cell
Is emptied Of lts life giving fluid the
plant dies. The truth OF this theory
has been proved by numerous careful
experiments. Great variation was
found In the amount Of cold necessary
TO cause the death OF vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point Is reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather.
and some die only at 20 degrees be-

How 70 Tell the nax.

Boys and girls often wish to know
on what day Of the week a certain day
OF the month In some former year fell,
and the editor believes that they will
be glad to have a formula for determln-
Ing 1t. Take the last two figures Of
the year In which the date fell Add
a quarter of this, dlsregarding the frac-
ton. Add the date Of the month, and
to this add the figure of the following
List that corresponds to the month and
OF the figures standing for each Of the
twelve months In order: 3, 9, 9, 2, A, 0,
., 8, /, 3, G, 1. Divide the sum by z,
and the remainder will give the number
of the day Of the week. And when
there Il no remainder the day will be
Saturday. For example, II you wish
to know ON what day of the week July
4 fell In 1866, to the last two figures
Of the year, 60, add one-fourth Of GO,
dlsregardIng the fraction, and you have
SO. To this add the day Of the month,
!, which gives you SO, and to SO add the
figure Q, which stands for July in the
list. Thus you have the number So,
and dividing this by you have II,
with 4 as a remainder. The Fourth Of
Iuly, 1860, therefore, fell on the fourth
day OF the week, which was Wednes-
day.
