A QUEER EPlTAPH.
In Memory OF Two Boys Who Thought
They Ate Mushrooms.


Piscataway is one of tho Oldest towns
in New Jersey. 1t was founded in 1865
and was intended to be the capital of
the colony, but it did not grow, while
its rivals, New Brunswick, Railway and
Elizabeth, became thriving villages. At
present there is little to interest the cas-
ual visitor to the sleepy village, but that
little is good of its kind.
There is old Mr.. Mundy, the village
wheelwright, who at 80 is still fine
shot with gun or rifle. Twenty five
years ago he accompanied New York
merchant on hunting trip to the far
west, and since then not year has
passed without their taking a hunting
trip to the west or south. Old as these
cronies are, they cannot make up their
minds to forego their hunting. Then
there is the old cider mill whose ram
shackle appearance bellies the purity and
strength of the applejack resting in its
dark cellar. Finally, there is the ceme-
terry Of the old Episcopal church, the
first house Of worship erected in the
place. In response to inquiries the other
day the sexton, who holds also the offices
Of gravedigger and roadmaster said:
"Well, there might be some interest
ing gravestones there, and then again
there mightn't. They don't interest me.
There is one old brown stone which has
fallen down and is out Of place. want
ed to throw it away, but the minister
wouldn't let me. That might be inter-
esting to YOU"
'Is there any inscription on it?"
"No, there isn't. 1t is just covered
with words from top to bottom-no
poetry, no nothing-just words.''
The stone was found easily, although
partly overgrown with moss and myrtle.
After much cleaning the following in
scription was made out:
Spectators, under
Here in this tomb
Lie boyes.
Tho elder was full
Ten years old, the yon.
Ger was twice

Mushrooms for
Food rare, in day

er and Charlie Hooper,

The meaning of "the younger was
twice told" is somewhat obscure, but it
is supposed that he was but five years
old.
An inscription upon the tombstone of
James Thompson, who died in 1868,
was once very popular with the country
people in New Jersey. Three others in
the graveyard are similar to it:
Remember, friend, as you pass by,
AS you are now once was !.
In health and strength, though here I lie.
As ! am now so you must be.
Prepare for death and follow me.

School Improvement.

In the Federated Clubs of Illinois the
women are working earnestly to i'm
prove the public schools of the state.
With this aim they take up different
phases of school work, in the first place
visiting the schools not as critics but as
learners, SO as to cooperate with school
teachers in securing improvements that
are needed. Certain members study the
hygienic conditions Of the schools; others
make it their duty to watch all school
legislation and TO learn something of
the value Of the best new methods of
education,

TIE AUDUBON REPUBLICAN.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
BY }. E. GRIFFITH.

Now that an extra session of the leg
islature is decided upon there is a pro-
digality of suggestions as to the work to
be accomplished and its manner of per-
Torrance. There is is large army of
those who seem to know what should
be done, but unfortunately there is no
such unanimity of opinion and desire as
to so perform their duty as to please all.
In one respect there appears to be no
disagreement, and fortunately that is
in regard to the main purpose for which
the session is called. The incompleted
code is to be considered and while it will
be impossible to perfect it there is a
recognized necessity Of SO gathering up
its fragments, reconciling the incon-
sistencies, dovetailing and matching up,
so that the composite whole may be as
nearly harmonious and complete as pos
sible under the circumstances.
When the legislature was in session
and the attempt was being made to
rush the work through before adjourn
ment it was urged by many that it
would be better to postpone the work
that more deliberation might be given
this important matter, and an oppor-
tunity given for the legislators to con-
suit with their constituents and thus by
knowing more fully the will of the peo-
pie be the better equipped for complet-
ing the work in conformance with that
will. 1t was also urged that the mem
bers of the legislature could in the
meantime utilize their spare time in
studying over the new code so that on
reassembling the could the more readily
complete the work.
1t remains to be seen how much of
this was theory and how much practical.
The chances are that few OF the mem
bers have thus far devoted much time
or thought to the code or have exerted
themselves to any great extent in con-
sulting constituents. The pressure Of
other duties and the excitement OF the
campaign have interfered, while on the
other hand the lapse of time has caused
much forgetfulness and rustiness.
Now that the date has been fixed for
the holding of the extra session, and
the campaign is over, the legislators will
be more apt to turn to the work OF the
code, and give it thought and time be-
tween now and January 10. Upon the
extent and nature Of this individual and
preliminary work will depend much as
to the length Of the session and the
character Of its accomplishment.
1t is to be hoped that in this way the
code may speedily be completed, and
that possibly time may be allowed for
the consideration OF such other impor-
tant matters as the manufacturers bill,
the warehouse law, the beet sugar
bounty and other questions which di-
rectly concern the people.
The first and chief work is, however.
the code. AS all agree on that, and as
that is the only purpose on which all do
agree, the legislature will bend its en-
ergies thereto. 1t is to be hoped that
this work can be so speedily and salts
factorily accomplished that time may be
left for the consideration OF, at least
some one of the other important ques-
tons which the people would like to see
passed upon before the next regular
session of the Acknowledgment.

Partisan Papans.

Paris is threatened with a Renaissance
of paganism. Several well known lite

themselves into society for the adora-

revival has already caught the Partisan
fancy, and converts are announced ev.
