A Look 1000 YEARS Old-An Egyptian
lock has been found which was in use more
than 1000 years ago. The old Egyptian lock
was not made of metal, like those we use
nowadays, but of wood, and the key that
opened it was wooden too. On one side of
the door to which it was fastened there was
a staple, and into this staple fitted a wooden
bolt that was liked to the door itself. When
this bolt was pushed into the staple as far as
it would 90, three pins in the upper part of
the staple dropped into holes in the bolt and
held it. in it's place, SO that it could not be
moved back again until the pins were lifted.
The key was a straight piece of wood, at the
end of which were three pegs the same dis
lance apart as the pins which held the bolt
firm. When the key was pushed into the

The negotiations between the Irish factions
have Iroken down Mr.. Parnell announced
the fact to the world on Thursday by publish
ing a letter, dated February 18th, to Mr..
O'Brien, in which he regretted that it had
been impossible for him to consider national
interests sufficiently ''safeguarded,' anG there
fore to feel that he might resign the trust
winch | have accepted at the. hands Of our
nation and oar race.' The seal OF confidence
must not be broken, but 81 have done every
thing in my power, consistent with the nation
al interests, to promote the cause of peace. -
He regrets. however, to 'have perceived
within the last few days that there exiets in
some quarters, and those quarters from which
such a spirit might be least expected, a spirit
breathing the deadliest hostility to that Of
peace.'' That is a hit at the Catholic pre-
lates and Nh. Parnell has further told an
interviewer that he will not resign under
compulsion, whether from Englishmcn or
from the Catholic Church, He intends, it is
stated, to address audiences in Ireland every
Sunday, and the fight clearly will be of the
bitterest kind, though his tongue will be
hampered by one consideration. His real
antagonists will be the priesthood, Healy and
Co. being compal atively a negligible quanti-

Sir John Macdonald, the Prime Minister
of the Canadian Dominion, has made an APP
peal to the country to give him a majority
in the new Parliament which does not seem
to US particularly prudent. He declares that
while his policy OF promoting reciprocity with
the United States as regards all natural pro.
ducts" is sufficient for the purposes of Cana
dian commerce, the policy OF the Opposition,
which declares for complete reciprocity with
the United States, must end in the annexa-
ton of Canada to the United States, and is
therefore d%isloyal. We do not see that this
is at all q necessary result even Of complete
reciprocity, and we are quite sure that it is
not wise to try to persuade the Opposition,
who do not at all admit the force of Sir John
Macdonald's logic, that they are regarded by
the Ministry as rebels in disguise, and will
get no credit for patriotism, whatever pro-
LESSONS of patriotism they make. Statesmen
should never try to drive their opponents to
bay. That may end in making them assume
an attitude of defiance which they have no
wish to assume, and would not otherwise
have assumed. We are far from wishing, of
course, to see Canada eager for Free-trade
with the United States, even at the cost of
putting differential duties on British goods
but it is pure exaggeration to say that that
course, even if it were adopted, must mean,
and could only mean, annexation. We can
not remember a case in which Free-trade.has
led to annexation. War, on the contrary, has
often led to it.

HEALTH NArTERs.

DR.. Afford, Of Huron. state Supt. Of
Health, Was in Miller Tuesday evening,
examining the diphtheria quarantene
here. II is reported he was called here
by county Attorney Gray. who appears
dissstisfisd with the quarantins measures
OF DR.. Lane. county superintendent Of
Health. Il will be chilly stmosphere
heveaboats wheu some few citizens oi
Miller fail to kick up rampus. But by
q remarkably large majority the citizens
Of Miller endorse Lane in his attempt to
enforce strict quarantine. As rule peo-
pie who are not closely connected with
little children are inclined to be careless
about themselves in case OF this kind,
but 1t would seem little regard. for tho
many anxious fathers and mothers who
have little ones, would cause them to use
eyerv care and precaution. Nothing can
be more dreaded in o community than
diphtheria. and II 1t once gets started,
almost nothing will prevent 1t sweeping
hundreds into thei. graves. The PRESS
does not believe any person williuily
wishes 10 endan9er the lives OF others.
and these differences perhaps over minor
details should lie gracefully waived by
one aud all. Let everybody join hands in
conining the disease to as close quarters
as possible, and encourage the establish. /.
meat OF quarantine wherever needed.
