HELP TO MAKE MONDAY EASY.

To Wash Lace
Cove bottle with fine white
flannel, and tack the edges of the
lace upon it. being careful to fasten
down every little point and lay the
lace as straight as possible. Squeeze
the bottle in iukewarm soap and
water till the lace is clean. and rinse
in the same way. Put it in the sun
to dry, dip bottle and all in starch.
then wrap clean cambria around it,
and let dry in the open air. When
quite dry, the lace may be untacked,
and will look as good as new. and will
need little ironing. Black lace may
be washed in the same way, but with
out soap. A few drops of ammonia
may be used instead. Black lace
never should be ironed.
To Clean corsets-
Lay fiat on washboard and scrub
hard with scrub brush. using plenty
of soap.
Clothes Sprinklers-
For a handy clothes sprinkler. take
pint Mason jar With nail make
small holes in the cover. Screw the
cover on, and your sprinkler is ready.
Wash Flat Irons-
Before you use your fiatirons wash
them in soap suds, dry well. and then
heat them. This will prevent the
starch from sticking to the iron.
Wringers-
Don't neglect to unscrew your
wringer when not in use; it protects
the rollers.
BIuing Clothes
In hard water will make them
whittier than if blued in rain water
and will not require one-half the
bluing, and if little milk be added
the clothes will not be streaked.
Spots on Silk
For grease spot on silk lay a blot.

Historic Landmarks al the

Washington, May 10.--Probably thai

Washington was its destruction by fire
by the English during the war OF 1912

to the city at that time it was con.
fined to government buildings and

liable. Many buildings are still stand

are designated as landmarks, and on
many OF them tablets may be seen
which tell when the structures were
built and what notable events occur

ings are In Georgetown. which Is at
the northwest extremity OF the CAPT
tai In fact, many interesting styles
of architecture may be seen there, for
that place was once the center of
population and business before the
boom struck Washington. When
the British destroyed the capital they
did not enter by way Of Georgetown,
nor did they come directly up the
Potomac river, but they landed on the
shores OF Chesapeake bay further
north. and, marching across the coun-
try, came down upon Washington from
a little village few miles above the
eastern branch of the Potomac called
Bladensburg. This place first was
ransacked and was made supply
base to assist in operations against
the capital city. This village, now a
city, of Bladensburg, has witnessed
many exciting times. For years It
was the favorite duelling place for
those, who in the days OF those sup.
posedIy chivaIrous customs were un-
able TO settle their grievances In any
other way and whose honor was worth
more to them than their lives.
But there are landmarks In the
capital, which, erected after the dis.

known throughout the country. Not.

HOW PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT.
Simple Machinery and Vast Numbers
of Men Were Employed.


of Mer Were Employed.
Hosting machines we're used in
both Assyria and Egypt 5000 or more
years ago. In order to hoist the great
stones of the pyramids some form OF
derrick was employed. Probably the
first construction was that which is
now known to mechanics as the shear
legs. This is made of two great tim
bers tied together in the form of a
capital A, the two ends resting on the
ground and a rope being run over and
attached TO the top. With one vi
these the pyramid builders could have
raised large stones step by step, which
was doubtless their method, according
to writer in the Circle.
: We can imagine We see the great a
frame leaning over an incline Of per-
haps 80 degrees with block of stone
tied on. Then a great crowd of men
get hold of the rope on the opposite
side, perhaps assisted by some draft
oxen, and all strain and pull until the
A frame stands erect and the stone is
swung up into the air, where it can
be pushed into the desired pace. Such
a continuance could be used to lift
stones six or eight feet. which was suf-
hent for the construction of the first
pyramid. Doubtless better hosting
devices were constructed as more pyr.
amids were built.
The men who built these pyramids
certainly had carts aud oxen ito draw
the stones and derricks to hoist them,
and the work shows no mean engi-
neering skill. 1t is surmised that the
first cars grew out Of the use of roll
ers made from tree trunks. Having
found it "a nuisance to keep replacing
rollers under heavy objects that had
to be removed the idea of a air of
wheels was devised.
These were formed by simply cut
ting off two slives or round sections
from large tree and joining them by
a rude axle. The OK was hitched in
front and a bigs tone was tied so as
to be half separated by the axle, the
rear end dragging on the ground.
Heavy tree trunks were skidded IN
much the same way that the work
is now done in modern lumber camps.
The pyramid stones often weighed
several tons and were sometimes
drawn scores of miles from the quar-
RES. They were Quarried by sinking
holes in the stones with chisels pound
ed with mauls, and row Of holes
was made and wedges driven in to
split the stone The dressing down
of the stones was done at the pyfa-
mid.
Some of the early pyramids exhibit
traces of masonry, showing that the
manufacture and use of mortar was
then understood There are also evil
dences of brickwork as ean'y as 5000
B. G. In the Khafra pyramid of this
date a trap door of stone closed the
sarcophagus, having places for hand
les and bolts, which, it is believed.
We're made of copper, although they
had disappeared when modern .e-
searches were made.
The men of the pyramid age not
only knew how to make bricks, tiles
and vessels of clay, but they had
learned to fire the clay in such a way
as to vitrify or glaze the surface. rem.

less porous. This was the beginning
