CARPET-SWEEPER. 



This is a bcautitui i\('\\ --"eeiior, all metal, with 

 latest improvements. The du'.t can be poured from 

 the sweeper into a pail, without unhooking any 

 thing. The handle stands straight up. ready to take 

 htild of. wherever you happen to leave it. I have 

 selected this one from a great number in the mar- 

 ket, because my wife has been telling me for some 

 time that nothing in the whole round of household 

 conveniences saves a woman more time and hard 

 labor than a good carpet-sweeper, especially where 

 there are children to scatter bits of paper, crumbs, 

 etc. Price *2.00.
