sea. On the following day, Friday, the
gale increased. the waves rose still

and then a marked change came over
the landsmen-they were dreadfully
seasick. On Saturday, however. the
weather abated, but the engines broke
down. Once in the morning and once
in the afternoon. This caused a delay
of four hours altogether. During the
lulu, the arms and ammunition were
brought on deck and distributed to the
Cubans.
Fine weather and a smooth sea
ushered in the Sabbath and the Cubans
busted themselves in making into small
packages the munitions of war for
greater facility in landing. The Ber-

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Herald
this morning publishes the following
correspondence under date of Puerto
Cortez, Honduras:
The steamship Bermuda, which was
detained in New York harbor on Feb.

Cuba with a large and enthusiastic
party of patriots, and an ample supply
of arms and ammunition, arrived here
The history of her voyage, ending on

with dramatic incidents.
The log was reeled off by one of the
officers of the ship, who told his story
in a matter-of-fact way, which rather
served to intensity than dull its in
terest.
"I'll tell you the story he said, be
ginning with our departure from New
York harbor. You know that on Sat
urday, March IA, we lay at anchor off
Bedloe's island. We had some trouble
in engaging a crew, owing to the pre-
vious difficulty with the United States
authorities, but after we had got our
agents at work the thing
WENT BEAUTIFULLY.
Sunday morning following at z
o'clock, we weighed anchor and slipped
through the narrows.
During the night of Monday, March
16. we steamed up and down the coast
at half speed and when the day dawn

to change her red funnel to black

ton was well timed.

THE UTMOST CAUTION.

Not a word was spoken as the men
ana arms were landed. Seven miles
away, in Baracos harbor, lay six Span
lsh cruisers, and the slightest blunder
would have imDeriled all Our rves.''
The officer concluded his narrative by
stating that thirty minutes after the
Cubans marched inland and the Ber-
muda got under way again, a Spanish
man-of-war came from the harbor and
began throwing her search light across
the sea.
Again fortune favored the Bermuda
and she escaped unnoticed.

York pilot and five Cubans. the whole

"a signal had been arranged with
the ship. If the accommodating party
found nothing suspicious the signal
was to be given for lowering the boats
and effecting landing. Fortune ia
vored the expedition. The discipline
was excellent and in a remarkably
short time the cargo and the men were
safely ashore. 1t was o'clock in the
morning when the last boat load left
the vessel
up in the deep blue sky the moon
was shining brightly, and the stars
shone g1oriously. The hearts of those
on shore beat high when they saw each
little cargo come silently and swiftly
from the ship to the shore. AS boat
after boat unloaded it's load, there was
a disposition to cheer, but this was
checked By the officers, who objected
to let their comrades lead them into

Between the mountains of India and Persia is a powerful tribe among whom an extraordinary custom prevails. WOm- ans rights have apparently received full recognition, for the ladies of the tribe can choose their own husbands. All Q single woman has to do when she wiah- es to change her state is to send a serv- ant to pin a handkerchief to the hat of the man on whom her fancy lights, and he is obliged to marry her, unless he can show he is too poor to purchase her at the price her father requires.

The Light of the Moon.

The moon is mirror which reflects the sunlight to us. An examination of moonlight with the spectroscope shows, Fof, course, the same!spectrum as that of sunlight. The quality of the reflection is indicated in the announcement that it would take no fewer than 618, 900 full moons to supply to us an amount of light equal to that which we get from the srln, and there is only sky room for, say, 75, 900 of them. Some heat comes from the moon, but ordinary methods will not measure it. However, it is es- timated that it is about 1yone-eighty- thousandth of the amount which the sun supplies to us The inclination of the moons, orbit to the horizon &C., counts for the harvest and the hunters moon, which occur when the tipping is slightest, thus permitting the moon to rise about the same time for several successive evenings. The moon often appears much enlarged when on the horizon, but this is caused by the sre- fractive feature of the air about the horizon and the natural tendency Sth compare it with terrestrial objects. - Ladies' Home Journal.

ReRaiRn TNmH.

A physician who has just returned from visit to Persia says that the PeE- sians still believe that human tears are remedy for certain chronic diseases. At every funeral the bottling of mourn- ers' tears is one of the chief features of the ceremonies. Each of the mournera is presented with 8 sponge with which to mop of his face and eyes, and after the burial they are presented to the priest, who squeezes the tears into bot ties, which he keeps. This custom is one of the oldest known in the east and hes probably been practioed by the PersiAns for thousands of years. Mention is made of it in the Old Testament.
