The Use of the Broom.

Few people handle a broom properly, although accustomed to Its use every day of their lives. Always draw your broom by leaning it forward, because this allows the dirt to be moved along more gefltly and will not raise much du»*. Most sweepers thrust the broom ahead of them in a sort of digging way, with the handle toward the sweeper. This breaks the bVoom, wears out the carpet, flirts up dust and makes the sweeping much more laborious.
