A JERSEY AMAZON.

Living in the Wilds of Cape May County
and Shooting with Rifle Like Carver.
The people OF Tuckahoe, DennisyilIe and
tue upper end Of Cape May county, says
the Philadelphia Record of the 10Th inst.
have, for some time past, been startled at
the wonderful exploits with a rife of
mysterious Amazon named Jennie Moore.
who lives in an isolated cabin in the
pines. on the bay side, about four miles
from WOOdbine Station, on the West Jer-
sey Railroad. The woman is about 80
years of age, of splendid physical devel-
opment She is married to a man named
jackson Moore, whose father lives at
Nineland, and who ekes out a scant liveli-
hood by chOpping wood for the Millville
glass factories. In November last the
couple settled in their cabin. which is
equipped III the true border style, half of
1t being under ground. 1t is stated that
they came from Texas. The woman has
pretty little daughter, y years of age,
who can sing like nightingale. 1t is be-
lieyed that the woman is a native of
Brooklyn. She says that for several years
she Travelled with a show under the stage
name of Jenny Franklin, giving exhibit
tons with her rifle. On several occasions
the Amazon has astOnished the natives of
the towns in the vicinity with her skill.
Some of her feats are remarkable. She
can light parlOr match with rifle BAH
and part an apple on the William Tell
style resting on her husbands head. A
favOrite shot is to hit the apple, while in
that position, by q shot with her back
turned and taking aim in a looking glass.
Shutting candles and clipping ashes from
lighted cigar while being held between
the teeth Of a man are trifling matters to
her. A few weeks ago Mrs. Moore gave a
public exhibition IN the Town Hall at
Dennisville, which drew CALCULATIONS of
establishment and delight from the large
crowd present. 1t is regarded as exc eed-
lngly strange thata woman Of her refined
taste, culture and amazing skill with
rife should bury herself in the wIlds of
Jersey and undergo the hardships of
wOOdchopper's life. 1t is common thing
for her to take tramp Of miles through
the wilderness of that country with her
rifle slung over her shoulder. The peo-
pie Of Dennisyllle, with a few Of whom
she is acquainted, speak in glowing terms
of her lady-like department and social ac-
cOmplishments.

FOOLED BY FIDDLERs.
How a Northern Tourist in Florida was
Frightened

Frightened.
A Tampa letter of April IL, to the New
York Times, narrates the following anec-
dote:
| was just about to return to the boat to
continue my voyage when | was startled
by a rustling in the creeping plants
through which / was walking. One hears
so many snake stories in Florida my first
thought was of them; but there was no
suake in sight. The rushing, however,
continued and grew louder. 1t was like a
flock OF frightened birds trying TO make
their way through thicket, but there
were no birds in sight. The noise came
nearer to me, and l ran out to the
strip Of sand that lay between the bushes
and the mangroYe trees. l was hardly
there before the cause of the racket came
along too, crossed the sand, and made for
the roots or the mangrOVes. 1t was an
army of black bugs, each from an inch to
two inches long and half as wide. They
were 50 thick that the ground was black
with them, for they were black, or nearly
black, with thick legs, and travelled over
the ground about as fast as a man could
run. There were millions and millions of
them; | might say billions, and then not
come within few millions of the true
number. But there were so many at any
rate that they shook all the bushes, and
maze noise like rushing wind. | was
freshly out of Arkansaw, where 1 had
spent considerable portion of my time
in lodging the deadly tarantulas, and
these beasts looked very much like them,
so | thought of tarantulas. | was bare
footed, and they were crawling over my
feet. With great deliberatiOn / concluded
to leave that part of the country. Under
the circumstances | consider halfa second
great deliberations" and at the end of
that time l made my first deliberate and
digniied move, which was a jump of
about 10 feet, and then calmly walked the
rest OF the way down to the beach, Z or
s feet to the step, walking over and crush
ing few thousand of the little wretches
every time | put down a foot
The black space covered by the
beasts was at least a quarter of an
acre in extent, and fooled away no time
in getting out of 1t and reaching the
beach. The bugs were frightened to death
by the noise l had been making in the
bushes, and were trying their level best
to reach their holes among the roots of the
mangrOYe trees; and was scared by the
bugs; so with mutually trying to get
away from each other we had a lively
time. If l had had shoes on | think l
might possibly have staid and made a
fight Of it. But being barefooted in the
bushes makes man timid here among
the spiders and snakes and gators.

TRIALS WITH DYNAMITE GUN
The Use of Compressed Air as a Motor
Instead of Gunpowder.


The first of the regular series of expert
ments with the new pneumatic dynamite
gun, which is to be carried on during the
spring at Fort Hamilton, says the New
York Times. took place on the 18th, under
the direction of Col. John Hamilton and
Lieut.. Z. L. Zalinski. The gun was
manufactured at the Delamater Works,
expressly for these experiments, at a cost
of $4,000. The guns could be manufac-
tured in large numbers for about 81 900
each. The gun consists of a long tube.
forty feet in length and one-eighfh Of an
inch in thickness. 1t is connected with a
large steel cylinder or flask, which is sup
piled with compressed air from the COM
pressed air steam engine.
The target at which the shots were fred
was situated, at distance of ., 100 yards,
on the shore at Fort WadswOrth, the gun
being placed on the glacis of Fort Hamil-
ton. The first shot fired was one weigh
ing seventeen pounds, capable of carry
ing from ten to twelve pounds of dyna-
mite. 1t was loaded with the same weight
of sand and lead, instead of dynamite.
The pressure used was 49, pounds. The
shot went sixty yards to the left and
slightly above the target, exactly as
Lieut.. Zalinski had foretOld it would do,
owing to the wind. The second shot, with
a pressure of $50 pounds, went ten yards
to the left Of the target and fifteen yards
above it, burying itself completely in the
hill. The third and last shot, which was
sent in a binding raih-stOrm, was a line
shot, which went twenty-five yards short
of the target and struck the water.
Il am well satisf with the expert
ments,' said Lieutenant ZalInski. S'While
these dynamite guns can never supeTsede
the ordinary powder gun, they will be a
very valuable auxiliary, as they can be
used equally advantageOusly on land or
sea. The pressure used to-day-4S0 and
49, pOunds-we shall increase to 1900
pounds as soon as another engine is sup
piled. You know that the numerous
attempts to throw dynamite with ordinary
powder guns have nearly always met with
disastrous results"

BOOK BIER BEGINS TO FLOW.
Doubtful Origin-The Brewers Clerks
Feudal Romance.

A heavily builtGerman waddled up out
of his beer saloon in a cellar near the
Quincy market yesterday morning, says
the Boston Globe of the 18th inst, and
fastened to the stair railing a familiar
looking and varied-colored card, bearing
the effigy of an animated goat, and the
legend ''Bock bier ON tap here" THAT'S
the best sign of spring Pye seen yet,'' a
truckman standing near by said, as he
cast a thirsty look at the card.
ssYah, decs ees der first tay of der book
pier season." the keeper told the reporter,
who had followed him down the stairs.
''NOw drade pegins. Yah, Get ees a
leedle mite early dees year. Den tents,
my laity,0 the man Of beer here patroniz-
ingly said to little girl whose big tin pail
he bad just filled.
''What is the difference between book
and the ordinary beer~ asked the re-
porter
''Vel," he replied, with grunt, seet
ees stronger. Vat makes eet stronger?
Book bier has two times so much hops and
malt in it."
No" interposed the slim young assist
ant, who was Wiping off the tables, 'tthat
isn't it. A vat is filled with beer, which
is drawn off little by little every day, un-
til along this time every spring the bottom
is reached. So this beer is older than the
other, and besides all the stuff has settled
in it. That's how it's different"
''Now, my boss says it's like this" said
the young brewers clerk, who had been
sitting at a table in the corner adding
figures: 900 or 400 years ago, sezee, the
Duke Of Bavaria was entertaining some
big fellow the Duke Of Brunswick had
sent over to him. He wouldn't drink Ba-
bach beer seZee. Then the Duke sent for
his master brewer and asked him why he
didn't make better beer. Its better, seZee.
Let the cheyalier come again next spring
and bring some Einbach beer along and
I'll drink it, while he drinks mine The
man that gets off his feet first loses. Sure
enough the cheyalier came and the drink
ing began, with big crowd watching.
"The master brewer had put up job,
though. He had put some stuff in the Ba-
yarian beer as made it sWeeter and
heavier; burnt sugar mostly After they
had put down bucketsful, kid, one of the
Dukes pet animals, walked into the room,
and, on the half-drunken cheValier stOOp-
ing to pat it, the little cuss gave him a
boost that spread him fiat on the floor, so
he lost his feet, and the Duke named the
beer kid or in German, book That's
the boss story"
The heavy German shifted a pinch of
snuff and gave dubious grunt, while his
slim assistant looked admiringly at the
young brewers clerk, who had now re-
turned to his figures.

UNDER TIE sNOWDKOPs LYING

Under the snowdrOps ly ny,
Under That earthen mound
Loving eyes are vainly trying
To pierce through the frozen ground.
Loving hands the grave are strewing
With Life in floral garb;
But Death never heeds such sucing
To temper his pOisOn'd barb.
And eyes that are red with weeping.
And hearts which now always ache,
Must weep and ache-fOr the sleeping
Sleep on-and will ne'er awake.
And feet that are heavy with grieying,
And hands that hang down with woe,
Are heavier yet when leaving
The home Of the dead-below.
For under those snowdrOps lying.
Lies most of a mothers heart,
Her love for the living vieing;-
Yet the dead hath the greater part.
And she seeth no sun above her,
But only the night of death;-
And thinketh no love can love her
As the sleeper who sleeps beneath.
Like Rachel she knows no comfort,
For her child that was, is not;
And futile her every effort
To tear her heart from the spot
Where, under the snowdrOps lying,
Asleep in her clay-cold bed.
Undisturbed by mothers signing,
She resteth her weary head
Where. under the snOwdrOps lying.
She Waiteth her loved ones where
There is neither sorrow nor crying,
Nor need of a mothers care! =
Where. under the snowdrops living
Means m in a heavenly hOmp.-
Where is no more dread of dying,
Nor tears by new-made tomb
Not under the snOwdrops lyingi-
No. mother, she is not there!
But Heaven. where is no more signing.
Holdeth her thou art seeking here

FLORIDA PRAWNs.
Driving ShrimPs Out of the Market
Cheaper and Larger.

Cheaper and Larger.
'.Yes, these prawns from Florida are
driving the shrimps out of the market" a
Fulton Market dealer said to New York
San reporter. ''Shrimps used to be very
popular. What are they used for? Some
people eat them plain; others use them
for soups, salads and sauces. have sold
'em by the barrel to the Delmonicos, and
thousands Of times to the stewards of the
big clubs. But their day is gone by"
"Why?"
'Prawns are handsOmer. A shrimp to
some people looks like an Objectionable
insect. They've got little prickles all over
'em, and that makes some persons think
they are not good to eat. PraWns are
larger and better favored. A pint OF
praWns makes a better salad than quart
of shrimps; and, besides, they're cheaper.
If a cook is allowed % cents for shrimps,
and can do the same thing with 10 cents
worth Of praWnS, she buys praWns. Yes

leaned over the counter, "here you are.
A pint? Thank you. That woman is one

as Maine and South to Norfolk. These
prawns came from Florida. The waters
down there are alive with them. Two men
can catch more than a barrel of 'em in
day. Most customers like 'em cooked.
When they're alive they're not very nice

they are summers. Half peel a dozen of
