why Americans Are Disiiked on the
Continent.

We manifest a character abroad that
has the same foibles and frivolities as
any other; and without the same ex-
cuse, for we talk very loudly OF our
"Americanism," and would have other
nations know that we were not bred
as they were. Now, whatever we may
understand by this "Americanism"-and
IL is coming to have some very various
meanings under the influence OF new
ideas stirring among us-the people of
Europe understand by II but one thing
only. To be a typical American may
mean to them sometimes to be a shrewd
and pushing Yankee promoter-yes, per-
haps: but IL also means to be a human
and large-minded specimen Of a man or
woman, responsive to the deeper chords
of life. and equalitarian without vul-
garity. II is useless for us TO insist that

WELSH SINGERS FROM WALES.

A rare treat was afforded lovers
of good music by the concert given
in the Normal Auditorium on Mon
day evening by the Welsh singers,
under the management OF the Boston
Concert Company. The program
embraced vocal solos, glees, duets,
harp solos, and piano solos. The
singers are from Wales, and have
been touring in this country for the
few months. They all have fine past
voices which are evidently the gift of
nature as we'll as the result of cultiva-
ton. There is no affectation about
them, which is one of the pleasing
features of the entertainment. Mr..
Davies, the pianist, is a young man of
much talent, and he plays with ease
and grace. He is not piano poun-
der, but plays with rare execution and
excellent taste. On Tuesday morn
ing it was the pleasure of few who
happened to be within easy reach, to
hear him perform on the organ at St.
Paul's church for an hour. Here his
ability had full scope, and he brought
forth volumes of harmony from the
instrument. He is by odds the best
organist who has yet played on this
organ, and those who heard it were
more than ever pleased with it. Mr..
T. Phelps Jones, the manager of the
Welsh Singers, is gentlemen who it
is a pleasure to meet, and we hope
that he and his company may visit
Bloomsbury again. The public is in
debted to DR.. Welsh for securing
them this time, and a show OF appre-
citation by larger attendance would
have been more gratifying.

THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION.

The pale, sallow sunken checked,
distressed looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with "Kidney
Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a par.
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous
exhaustion and sometimes the heart
acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy
kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because
the first symptoms are so like mild
sickness that they do not think they
need a medicine or a doctor unit
they find themselves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build
up and strengthen their weak ant
diseased kidneys, purify their diseased
kidney-poisoned blood. clear theil
complexion and soon they enjoy bet
