To Sweep Floors.

Concerning this very important
operation the New York Observer
says:
In the days of Puritan grand
mothers no girl was considered
fit to receive the proposals of mar
riage until she could make a good
hemlock broom but in these lat
ter times many young lady not
only offers herself in the matri-
monial market, but absolutely gets
married, and undertakes to man.

how to use a broom that some
one else has made. We have
seen a broom used so unskilliully
that one would think the person
Engaged in using it was endeavor.

floor to the furniture.
1t requires some science, or at
least skill, to use q broom we'll
To do this skillfully, the handle
should incline forward and not
back. If the top of the broom
incline forward beyond the part
next the floor, it will prevent
much of the dust from rising into
the air, and will carry it along by
a gentle sliding motion toward
the place where it is to be disposed
of. II, on the other hand, the
handle of the broom inclines back.

Preservation Of Leather.

KIcS0TVaGlOn OF L0aCQ6r.
The following valuable hints in
regard to the preservation of leath-
er, we copy from the Shoe and
Leather Reporter:
The extreme heat to which men
and women expose boots and shoes
during the winter deprives leather
of vitality, rendering it Liable to
break and crack.
When leather becomes SO warm
as to give off the smell Of leather,
1t is singed. Close rubber shoes
also destroy the life of leather
AL varnishes, and blacking con.
tanning the properties Of varnish,
should be avoided.
Shoe-leather is generally abused.
Persons know nothing or care less
about the kind of material used
than they do about the polish pro-
duced. Vitriol blacking is used
till every particle of oil in the
leather is destroyed. To remedy
this abuse, the leather should be
washed once month with warm
water; and when about half dry,
a cont of oil or tallow should be
applied, and the boots set aside
for a day or two. This will re-
new the elasticity and life in the
leather, and when thus used, up
per leather will seldom crack or
break.
Don't wash harnesses with wa
ter and soap. No harness is ever
SO soiled that a damp sponge will
not remove the dirt. When a
harness loses Its lustre and be-
comes brown, which almost any
leather will do after long exposure
to the air, the harness should be
given a new coat of grain-black.
Before using this grain-black, the
grain surface should be thorough
ly washed with potash water un-
til the grease is killed, and after
the application of the grain-black,
oil and tallow should be applied
TO the surface. This will not on
ly "fasten the color" but make
the leather flexible. A harness
which is grained can be cleaned
with kerosene or spirits of turpen-
tine, and no harm will result if
the parts affected are washed and
oiled Immediately afterwards.
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1869-11-18

Raw beef, it is asserted, proves
of the greatest benefit as a diet
for persons of frsil constitution.
1t is reported that physicians are
now administering to consump-
tives diet of finely-chopped raw
teef, properly seasoned with salt,
and heated by placing the dish
containing it in hot water. This
food is given also in cases where
the stomach rejects almost every
other form of food. 1t assimilates
rapidly, and patients learn to
long for it as much as DR.. Kane
did his Arctic dinners of raw
seal and walrus.
