How TO SWEEP A CARpET.-The Rural
Home says: There are three ways to
sweep carpet-one right and two wrong
ways. One wrong way is to hold tho
broom nearly in front q the operator,
with the handle inclined backward toward
him, then press down as forward thrust
is given, thus throwing the heaviest dirt
alfway across the room, while tho light
particles are sent whirling about, cover
ins, as they settle, every article II farni-
ture. Another wrong way to sweep q
carpet is to move the broom forward with
heavy, drawing stroke, by which the
material to be removed is pressed into the
carpet rather than worked gently along on
the surface. If either Of these wrong
ways are adopted, the broom will wear
out the carpet more than it is worn by the
occupants Of the dwelling. When a
sweeper collects dustpan full of the
new nap of the carpet every time it il
swept, u new one will soon be required
The right way to sweep is to incline the
handle little forward, then give q light
drawing stroke, allowing the broom Ia
hardly touch the carpet. Not one-hal,
the weight Of the broom should be allow.
gu W press on tue carpet as tue Olrt II
moved forward. Let the dirt be moved
and rolled along very lightly. If a gen.
erous supply Of tea grounds, small bits Of
wet paper, or clean and wet sawdust, can
be spread over the carpet before the
sweeping is commenced, all the fine dirt
will adhere to the vet material. A little
smart woman who is u terror to dirt, will
frequently fly about the room as lift were
impelled by q whirlwind, and when the
task is ended her dust pan will contain
scarcely enough to pay tor sweeping Blu,
by using good broom, having long
elastic brush, and touching the carpet
very lightly; it will scarcely require thu
strength Of child to sweep large par
Ior in q few minutes. Scare ely on,
housekeeper in fifty understands how t
sweep curpet correctly.
