Speaking of Louise NJ. Brehany's first New York appearance, the con servative New York Herald says: "An altogether charming, refreshing and debonaire creature was Louise M. Bre- hany, the prima donna: she came on the stage with an unaffected grace and ease that won every heart before she sounded note. She sang sweetly and with good melhOd: her voice is pleas ant and cultivated, and one can under- stand every word she sings. With rare good taste she selected light bal lads in which she could be most eifec- tive. The great audience was delight- ed with her. and when she responded once with Annie Laurie, they burst into spontaneous applause and would not be content until she had sung a third time: her mezzO tones were tine. This famous singer will appear here next Saturday evening surrounded by company of fine artists. and they will give among other things an act from Martha in costume. It will be great treat to hear it.

Trade and the Flag.

The official statements OF the eX-
ports from the Philippines during the
calendar year 1899, made public, gives
the total at SIo,756,o9I.
OF this the hemp exports were valu-
ed al nearly $4,000, 900 and raw sugar
about the same-only one tenth OF
which came to the United States.
The remainder was made up Of copra,
leaf tobacco and cigars. The exports
by countries, including gold and sil-
yer, show: To China, S6,9Io,49S; the
United States, S4,o4o,a55; England,
S3,7oI,365; Japan, SI,9SS,S96, and
Spain, SI,I7o,2SI.
So that China, which has no flag
in the Philippines, got nearly S5,ooo,-
900 more OF the small trade than We
did, and England almost as much.
We receive at this port on a single

instances are cited where persons have

appearance was after the flood of Feb

not exactly like snail, but resemble
them in some respects. They have no
shells and are night raiders. says the
New York World.
At no place in the city where the
food water failed TO reach has one OF
the slugs been seen, but in the most
fashionable quarters the pests are
numerous. In siy they range from
one TO six inches in length. being from
a quarter TO an inch in diameter. II is
not until ten o'clock at night that the
snails come out OF their hiding places.
