the metal to spatter about and cause him
painful burns on the eyebrows and fore

I'm the case 40 bar the entire cause OF
tctlon Is on the agreement which IS void
through public policy.
The complainant depends altogether up
on that agreement and seeks 20 set aside
everything that has been done ana 20 en-
force the specific performance Of that
agreement. lie asks the court TO en-
force this illegal contract and requires
the aid OF the illegal transaction TO cs-
tablish his case.
II follows that the contract under con
FidcratiOn can neither Doe enforced nor
made the basis OF any relief ia q court
OF equity. THE maxim In pari delicto APP
plies. The court Will ioave tho parties to
such e contract precisely where il finds
them.
10 Is urged. however. that the complain
mt on the very afternoon OF the day on
which the city Council gave the fran
chbc. exposed his agreement with Shield
in public print
Assuming that this was seen by the
members OF the Council it cannot avail
him The wrong complained Of is not
that he conceded his contract but that
DE made the contract Not that he pre-
tended stili 20 seek a franchise but that
he sold himself out and doing so defeated
competition. shut the city Council IN 10

What a Model Bakery should BE.

What should be the essential condi-
tions of Il model bakery? First, the
building should be above ground, per-
fectly drained and ventilated, we'll or.
ganized, absolutely clean, and the ex-
pense of labor should be Of no consid-
Grafton. The men should be systematic
ally inspected with regard to their
personal cleanliness, having, in the first
place, been selected for employment on
the ground of their good general health
nnd temperance. The hours of labor
should be limited, and convenience for
washing purposes should be provided.
The buildings should DO dustproof, in
order to make dust contamination i'm
possible. The ovens should be fired at
the back Of and not in the bakehouse
itself. Water used should be of the very
best and guaranteed quality, and. in
order that only proper prop =. ton
should be used for its correspondent &
equivalent of -four. it should be meas
ured by meter. These are, roughly, the
essentials to u typical bakehouse.

ENGLISH ROYALTY.
Whist It Is Said TO Cost tho British Tar.
payer Yearly.

payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the exchequer went
out of his way recently, says Labou-
ohere, in London Truth, to explain how
little the monarchy costs England. The
crown lands, he said, belong to the SOW
ore;gn and produce 81, O6O, 900 per an
mum. The queen receives instead Of
this revenue 81, 925, 200 and the rest Of
the royal family 81, 100000 Therefore
tho total cost Of monarchy to the tax
payer Is f925, 900. The entire calcula-
ton proceeds on the erroneous assump-
ton that the crown lands are the pri-
vate property of the sovereign. This
they are not. They originally formed a
portion Of the general revenue Of the
country, out Of which came the main
tenanco Of the sovereign.
That abject fiunky Lord Butte, wish.
ing to curry favor with George III, in
serted i'll the civil list act which was
passed on that monarch's accession a
remuneration by him of the crown lands,
md this remuneration by n sovereign of
what he did not possess is the basis Of
the theory of these crown lands being
the private property. Of the occupant OF
the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael
Hicks Beach's own figures, monarchy
costs England $2,9s5,O00. The real
amount is. however, much higher, fol
there are numberless expenses incidental
to the institution which he does not in
clude. The hard fact remains that II
France the president receives 5000. O0(
per nnnum and fulflls with decent
splendor all the duties Of the head o.
the state, while with England the mon
archy costs nearer G1,00O,000 thar
100000 francs. A defense, therefore
Of monarchy on tho ground of economy
hardly holds water.
