impossible to be independent. And
what is the way to compass this
as Burns appropriately designates
it-"glorious privilege p The
method is very simple. 1t consists
in one rule: Limit your wants.
Make them few and inexpensive.
To do this would interfere little with
your real enjoyment. 1t is mostly
matter of habit. You require
more, or you are satisfied with less
just as you have accustomed your
self to the one or to the other.
Limit your wants, estimate their
cost, and never exceed it, taking
pains always to keep it inside your
income. Thus you will secure
your lasting Independence. Young
men think Of this. A great deal
of the happiness of your lives de-
pends upon it. After having made
your money, spend it as you choose,
honestly; but be sure you make
1t first.

A Naval Officer Whipped by a
Vicious R,lt.

VhChOuS ussuts
This story is told by the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New
York Sun:
No less person than the En-
gineer in-Chief Of the Navy, w.
w. Wood, came hobbling, like a
wounded soldier, and with his an
cles bandaged, into Welker's, this
morning, in search Of breakfast.
scout, gout," said /. "Too
much Robeson's old Madeira"
"No, no." he replied solemnly
"rat, rat" and he proceeded to tell
me Of desperate combat lasting
nearly an hour, that he had had
with q monster rat the night be-
fore. The family being away, and
the rats not getting anything to
eat for some days, had become
hungry and desperate. Mr.. Wood
was sleeping alone in q back. room,
the bed being near the door,
About l o'clock In the morning he
was awakened by severe pain in
his foot, and heard something jump
heavily on the floor. A light re-
vealed the fact that deep cash
had been made on the ball of his
left foot, from which the blood was
flowing freely.
As there were no cats In the house
Mr.. Wood at once concluded that
II was q rat, and that II had made
its exit. After washing and band
aging the wound he stretched him
self on the bed and fell into doze.
The rat came ct him again this
time, making an ugly cash In his
right foot. After bandaging the
second wound, Mr.. Wood went In
search Of the rat, and resolved to
exterminate him II possible. But
his ratship had eaten his way in a
bureau in the front room. A
scrw driver was brought into use,
and one by one the drawers were
opened, and there, In the lower one
was found to use Mr.. Woods own
words, "Mr. Rat, as big as water
pitcher, and looking directly at me
with Q pair Of the wickedest eyes
Then he made q desperate jump
directly at my face" Mr.. Wood
had shut the door, and the only
thing he had to defend himself with
was o small rattan. The rat made
desperate fight with him, more
than . dozen times jumping to tho
top Of the buresu, and thence IL

The combat lasted nearly an hour
by the clock, when finding that he
could neither kill nor wound the
infuriate thing, and that he might
get more seriously injured, he with
drew, leaving the rat in possession
of the field, and indeed, the victor.
Wood waited for the morning
and his servant man to arrive. In
the meantime the rat went desper-
ately to work gnawing at the door
in order to again attack the Chief
Engineer, and had got moro than
half way through when the SER
want came, and the two entered
the room, armed with stout sticks,
to renew the combat. Removing
all the furniture but the bureau, into
which the rat had again retreated,
they drove him out and renewed
the combat. The infuriated crea-
ture fought as desperately as be-
fore, now jumping at the throat of
one of his assailants, now at another
inflicting ugly wounds on each; 1;
and it was not until after the battle
had lasted 20 minutes that the rat
was killed. His big head is now
exhibited at the Navy Department
as u trophy.

Little Saddle was very fond of
her minister, and paid great atten-
ton to his preaching. One Sab
bath morning his subject was
"ElJah's Faith" and how the rain
came in answer to his prayer
There had been a great drouth in
that region, and the pastor ex-
horted his congregation to pray for
rain. When starting to the after
noon service she was observed
taking her little umbrella. Her
father said, "Sadie, what are you
taking your umbrella for r She
quietly said, because Mr.. T.
said we must pray for rain" The
father smiled at the child's sim
plicity tas the sun was shining
brighslyh but allowed her have her
way. During the service q bri k
shower surprised the audience, and
no one had an umbrella except
little Sadie--not even the pastor.

Matched.

A West Washington avenue man
went home from a days meander-
ing down town, as usual, the other
night, and was met at the door by
his wife with the customary kiss.
Thinking what a nice little body
she was he hung his hat on a nail,
and was about to return to her
side, when he beheld a great
change had come over the spirit of
her dreams. She looked as one to
whom had come q revelation, while
her face and attitude gave evidence
that a great gulf had suddenly be-
come fixed between them as man
and wife.
"Why, wha-what's the matter r.
he asked misgivingly.
"John Henderson, said she,
"didn't you tell me you would give
up smoking If I'd go without new
bonnet this year

that smoke you smell / got from
sitting with a m"
"None of your lies to me, John
Henderson" interrupted his spouse.
"Let me ex-"
"No, / won't let you explain any
of your mean, dastardly falsehoods," !"
said she, choking with the sense of
the great wrong she had suffered.
"But hain't lit -"
"That will do" said she; and
then she twisted one Of Johns
pants leg around so that he could
see for himself, and pointing to q
dozen long white marks up and
down the thigh, she, asked, with
triumph In her eye:
"Do you pretend to say them
wasn't made with matches y
Next day Mrs. Henderson asked
her husband for some money to buy
a bonnet with, and he gave It to
her; but he dosen't strike his
matches on his pantaloons any
more when he wants to light q cigar,
