Venus as a Sister World.

While watching these graceful wind
ings OF the planet, we naturally inquire
as to its real condition. Readers are IA
miliar with the idea that it is a world
like our own earth, travelling in smaller
but otherwise almost similar orbit around
the sun. On more minute inquiry we
find that the likeness between it and our
earth is In some points very great
greater, in fact, than in the case of anv
other planet. In the fundamental ele-
ment OF size they are almost alike. our
earth being 1900 miles in diameter, and
Venus 1900. The force of gravity ON
the surface of the latter is very nearly
nine-tenths Of what it is with us Its
density is almost the same fraction as
that Of the earth. These facts show that
II transported to the surface of Venus
we should feel more at home, so far as
some essential features of experience are
concerned, than on any other planet
known to us. We should weigh lust
about nine-tenths Of our present weight,
and should find distances bearing mach
the same ratio to our muscular power of
walking that they do in this world; while
in all probability the surface rocks and
earth, If such be formed there, would be
compacted and constructed like those we
daily see around us.
This you'd pot be the case on planets
80 much smaller than the earth, as Mer-
curry or Mars, or 90 much larger, as Ju-
piter, Saturn or Neptune. Again, the
year on Venus would be about 2e5 days
in length, good deal more like what we
have on the earth than is the case on
any other planet. In the length of the
day we should find still more home
like experience, as the difference would
be imperceptible except to careful OBJ
servation- Venus rotates in twenty.
three hours, twenty-one minutes. twenty
eight seconds, and the earth in twenty
three hours, ffty-six minutes, four sec
onds. The day, of course, depends
Little upon the motion Of the sun in the
sky, but the difference between this, as
seen on our earth and from Venus, would
not appreciably affect the similarity of
the days in each. These licensees TO
the length of our day and year and to
our worlds density would cause SINH
larity, in all probability, in the impor-
tant matters of mountain form and of
vegetation. In fact, so far Venus is
nearly the twin sister of our world

LOOK AFTER THE WE'LL.

Undoubtedly the well on the
farm is source from which come
many diseases. Some wells are
never cleaned. Says the Sanitary
News, when dug they are carefully
boarded over, the pumps made
tight and snug, with the ground
sloping away on all sides to allow
the surface water to flow from the
opening. There is no well water
that is pure. Something depends
on the character of the soil. IF
sSndy, and the water will disappear
quickly from the surface after a
rain, the well will drain the soil for
long distance around it, and the
consequence will be that a large
portion Of the filth Of the soil will
find its way into the we'll, although
the water may appear sparkling and
bright. It is contended that the
soil removes all impurities from the
water; but this depends upon wheth-
er the soil, by long continued abb
sorption, benot already so thorough
ly saturated with impurities as to
refuse to take up more. That the
soil does not remove all the i'm
purities even from new ground
where we'll has been recently dug,
has been demonstrated by saturat-
ing the surface earth at a distance
from the well with kerosene oil,
which gradually found it way to the
well (having been washed down by
the rains) and impaired its odor to
the water.
If the soil be of heavy clay the
danger will be lessened, but on all
porous soil the liability Of pollution
Of the water is great. No manure
heaps, privies, sinks or other re-
ceptacle for filth or refuse of any
kind should be within $50 feet of
the we'll; the further off the bet
ter. No matter how tight the we'll
may be, the toad will sometimes
contriye to get in. Many wells con-
tains toads that die and are swal.
lowed in the drinking water I'M
knowingly, under the supposition
that the we'll is tight and toad
proof" Wells should be cleaned
at least once a year, and especially
in the fall. For distance OF ten
feet around the we'll the surface
should be cemented, and the pump
itself should be cleaned occasional
ly. Toads, flies, bugs, worms and
even gnats will get in the water,
while even few drops Of a So
luton from a filthy drain or sink,
finding its way into the we'll carry
bacteria enough rapidly to multiply
and contaminate all of the water.
Roots of trees and vines also serve
as drains into the wells, as they
loosen the soil, and for the reason
they should never be planted near
the source of drinking water.

HOW 10 PREPARE THEM.

The attempts at artificial reproduction
or cultivation Of the truf6e have not been
successful, as mycelium or spawn, from
which other fungi (such as mushrooms
are readily produced, has not yet been
obtained. Success has occasionally at
tended the sprinkling of suitable ground
with water in which the fresh peel of
trufhes has been stepped
The odor and favor of trufdes are most
distinctive, and the dehcacy Of this favor
is highly esteemed by cooks, these fungi
being generally employed for favoring
meats. The fresher trufles are used the
better, as they lose their perfume by ex-
posure to the air. Thus, English truf1es
which reach the market fresh gathered
are preferable to those obtained from
abroad and those, again, which are
deeper in the ground are superior to
those found near the surface, possibly
owing to the same reason-viz.: that
they have been better protected from ac-
cess of air.
To cook tTuf1es, they should first be
well washed-if necessary scrubbed with
a brush--in warm water, rinsed and then
boiled according to size) from two to
three hours. They may be served, hid
den in a napkin. as if they were chest
nuts. They are eaten at the second
course, dry, with cold butter. The game
is eaten with them, and the crisp peel is
not discarded Some people boil trufaes
in champagne, under the impression that
they acquire the favor of the wine. This
is most extravagants and useless GUS
tom, as, in the first place, the tough skin
of the truf1e is quite impervious, and
secondly, the wine, directly it is heated
to boiling point, loses all spirit and favor.
If it is desired to put trufhes into =
salmi, boil them separately, then peel
and cut them up when the dish is ready,
then over all pour the gravy or sauce.
They should also be cooked separately if
intenSied for insertion into boar's head
or for combination with the stuhing for
a turkey. In the latter'case they should
be peeled and introduced with the stuff

THE SUN.
FOR 1889
And for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the campaign for the
election of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a
Democratic President in 1892 should begin on or
about the fourth Of next March. THE SUN will
be on hand at the beginning and until the end of
the most interesting and important political con-
fict since the war, doing its honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph Of the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
ciples held by Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden.
The great fact Of the year is the return to abso-
lutte power of the common enemy of all good
DemoeTats-the polical organization for whose
overthrow THE SUN fought at the front for fifteen
years, the memorable years Of Grant and the
Fraud Hayes and Garfield and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront and he will be intrenched in the same
strong position. 1t has been carried once by
brave and hopeful fighting. DO you not believe
with THE SUN that the thing can be done again?
Wait and seel
The hope Of the Democracy is in the loyal
efforts Of united press, cherishing memories
of past differences in non-essentials, forgetting
everything but the lessons Of experience, and
that! victory is duty
Probably you know The Sun already as a
newspaper which gets all the news and prints il
in lncomparably interesting shape; which
chronicles facts as they and tells the truth
about men and events with absolute fearlessness,
making the competest and most entertaining
journal published anywhere on earth; and which
sells its opinions only TO its subscribers and pur
ehaseTs at TWO cents per copy---On Sundays four
cents If you do not know the sun, send for it
and learn what wonderful thing il is TO be in the
sunshine.

The Right Kind Of Sunf1owers for
Poultry.

The Mammoth Russian sunfower has
but one large bud on top. and this when
half grown turns upside down. which
completely protects the seed from those
little depredators. the English spar
rows and the yellow birds. who are 50
fond of it. For this reason poultry
men should not plant any thing but the
Mammoth Russian variety.
All who raise poultry should have a
supply of sunfowers for their fowls,
who should begin to feed on them as
soon as the seeds are fully matured.
They will produce four times as
much nutriment for poultry to the
square acre as Indian corn. and are
better suited to the health of the
fowls than any grain. Bend down q
few of the stalks two or three times a
week and let the fowls pick the seeds
out; it is good, healthy employment

shade from heat in the summer. which

Prince Alexander's Shadow.

Now that Prince Alexander of Bat
tenberg has accepted the consequences
of his marriage, and retired into COM
parative obscurity for the moment, all
the story of his short. though brilliant,
career will be forgotten; but no ones
life has been more full of incidents of
romance. He was adored by his army.
which would have followed him to the
death. and by his own immediate fol-
lowers, to whom he was real hero in
every sense of the word. Through his
Servian career he was attended by
tall and handsome jaeger, who never
left him for moment, and who on
many occasions ran great risk of
losing his own life in his de-
termination not to lose sight of his
master. At night he slept on couch
in the ante-room outside his bedroom.
and at least one plot to assassinate
Prince Alexander was frustrated by his
vigilance After Prince Alexander left
Bulgaria. the servant who followed his
master disappeared. and the solution
of the mystery-for mystery it was to
those who knew the Prince-was then
discovered in the fact that the hand
some jaeger was woman in disguise,
who. being madly In love with Prince
Alexander, determined to devote her
life to guard him from danger during

HOMEMADE CHEESE.

How q Massachus etts Lady Makes q Prime
Article for Home Use.
In these days of cooperative dairy
ing. when cheese is SO generally made
at factories, it is impossible to compete
with them in the cost of manufactur-
ing by any home dairy, yet it is nice to
have a few old-fashioned homemade
cheese, to recall the good old times
when we used to eat the cheese made
by our grandmothers- This Is the
plan of a Massachusetts lady who
makes rich, fine and delicately-
favored cheese. The nights milk
il strained into pans till morning,
when the cream is taken of, and the
milk warmed to blood heat, when the
cream is returned to the milk and thor
oughly mixed. This prevents the
melting of the cream, that would 9TH
erwise run of with the whey. The
whole is then put into a tub with the
mornings milk and set for the cheese,
with rennet enough to form the curd
in about thirty minutes; and here much
care il thought to be necessary In

moderation in dipping and drawing

gradually increasing it for two days,
in the meantime turning If twice n

then taken from the press and dressed
all over with hot melted butter, and
