THE PRISON OF CHILLON.
Ancient Swiss Dungeon Made Famous
 By Lord Byron.
(Niksah in The Rochester Union and
 Advertiser)

(NikSah in The Rochester Un1on ana
 Advertiser)
 The prison of Chiffon is a monu- ment to the value of advertising. Considered as a prison, 1t has little claim to greatness. There are dung cons far better arranged from sani- tary and esthetic point of view, if you are looking for high-class dungeons On the other hand, there are dungeons far worse and more 1n- human, if you wish to revel in thrills of horror and pity. Chiffon owes its world-reputation to the activities of Lord Byron, who wrote the Prisoner of Chiffon" and thereby secured the fame of Chiffon for all time.
 Chiffon is very accessible, thanks to the Swiss policy of putting no un- necessary obstacles in the way of the sightseer It is nearly an ideal sight" All the elements of interest are present, conveniently arranged and properly balanced. There is the mountain lake, clear as a mirror and fair as a jewel. There are the quaint cottages and the graceful villas about the banks, standing apparently on the upturned ends of their own rerfect reflections. There Is the dark forest staring mOodily at its own dark image in the quiet water. To make all complete, you have the an- cient historic dungeon, home of romance and subject of deathless verse. It is no wonder that it takes a war to make us see America first.
 The dungeon itself nowadays is a graceful bit of architecture, more like a church than a prison, with it's cool gloomy interior arched and pill Jared after the best traditions of the builders art. Tn the time when 1t was operating actively as a dungeon, however, this open space was divided Er into little cells, and the graceful pillars were used to anchor the busi- ress end of chain; all of which con- tributed largely toward efficiency but very little to the comfort of the in mates.
 In spite of all that has been said and written to wear the subject Of the old-time prison threadbare, you connot suppress a little thrill of pity and horror when you see the holloWs worn into living rock by the feet of some unfortunate pacing up and down helpless and hopeless through the years and the decades. In spite Of forty-tWo-centimete guns and 1 submarines and poison gases, you feel l that it Is sagacious to be born in the l twentieth century. |

The Call for Hughes.
(New York Evening Post.)

Thrown back on the baffling mys- tery of the power in a political move nlent which does not exist, we have to cast about, In our feeble way, for explanations. If there really were evidence of a concentration in the re- publican party upon the name of Hughes, it could be pointed out that lie has been happily aloof from the party controversies of the past four years. His judicial position has closed his mouth about politics, so that he had neither to fight nor to run away at Armageddon Who, then, better suited to make peace be- tween the cOmbatants on that bloody field? It could be. urged also that Mir. Hughes has always been of the nationalist school of republicans, ready to assert the federal power to it's fullest extent. He would thus be naturally indicated as a candidate upon whom republicans and pro- gressives, in their present mood of being as heroic as they dare, might easily unite. Moreover, it could be recalled that Hughes, in the course of his public career, has nightly i'm pressed himself upon the country as a man of austere honesty, of trench ant intellect, Of constructive ability, with a marked gift for moral leader ship and effective campaigning. All these and other reasons might be adduced to show that it would not be SC wildly impossible for the republi- cans to nominate Hughes.
 We do firmly maintain, however, that the entire affair is very mysteri- ous. Was there ever such a political mystery as that of a man who is not a candidate and who will not say word or spend a cent to promote his nomination, yet who Is agreed by a great cloud of witnesses to be the most probable choice of his party?

culty, in very warm climates, of try ing to sleep in the early evening hours, with the air in the house like that of a furnace; and as to the folly of losing the very early morning hours in such weather for the re- freshing sleep which is possible only at that time.
 Germany was the first country to adopt the new schedule in a sweep ing way. Holland and some others followed. England was expected to reject it, as a tribute in part to innate conservatism. But the Com mons indorsed the proposal and it will probably become effective May 20. At that time the clocks will be set for ward a hour. People who on May 19 went to work, sun time, at o'clock, will go to work the next day at what would have been 7 but for the change in the clocks; and instead of quitting at 5, sun time, they will quit at what would have been 4 uu- der the old schedule.
 They will go to the theater an hour earlier, go to bed-presumably-a hour earlier; turn down the gas ant turn off the electricity an hour sooner.
 Will they? That's the question. Many people think the tendency to live a certain proportion of ones life under the gaslight will be so strong that people will nfcrcly sit up later at night; if so, thc~" will be a loss . in efficiency and no in in coal T3x- perience will prove For ourselves we guess the Gcrr1ans were right. They thought man was a slave to his watch, and if tho watch gave him different orders he would obey.
