An Entsrprisins earristsr.

An English barrister was once en-
gagged in a nautical case, in which 1t
appeared that a vessel had been ex'
posed to a very " gale of wind
and had been thrown upon her beam
ends. The barrister. ignorant of a
teal matters. asked a seaman who
was in the witness box how 1t was
they did not lower the topmast. upon
which the witness said, with a sneer,
1T you knew as much of the sea as ]
do you would know that this is not q
very easy matter" This Incident led
the counsel to turn his attention to the
subject, and he invented an apparatus
for lowering topmasts. for which he
obtained a patent and realized thereby
upward Of 100000 by his invention.

on treasury department expenditures
Representative Cox of Indiana, the
chairman, has reported that the
manufacturers used a colored cotton
seed oil known as FulvaS oil, golden
yellow, butter oil and other prepara-
tions, which subjected the product to
ten cents a pound instead of one
quarter of a cent.
Mr.. Cox recommended against ac-
ceptance by the department of $101,-
600 as a compromise settlement and
urged that the department fine the
manufacturers S1,246,62S.
Representatives Cooke, Lobeck and
Galloway, the majority of the commit
tee, recommended that the depart
ment bring test suit for the full
amount, all the parties to agree to
abide by the judgment. Representa-
tives Hill and Young, the Republican
minority, reported that the question of
recovery was in the hands of the
executive department, but that if
necessary there would either be a test
case or a compromise of the whole
matter
