these vines and his observation is that
the old vines are iiourishlng and that
new vines come into blossom each
spring. Perhaps in future years 1t may
be recorded that the wistara is as COM
mon in Washington as the southsIde
ivy. ar Ampeiopsis veitchii. which: by
the way is another Vine descended from
oriental ancestry.
1t is no easy matter to award the
PALM the blue ribbon or the purple
ribbon, to the finest specimen OF Wis
taria in Washington. There are many
high strong and luXuriant growthS of
this vine and owners of wistaria are
rightly jealous of the beauty of their
own treasure. To say which is the
best would not be fair for there is no
best and such statement would call
down upon the Rambler the rebuke of
all the other owners or growers Of
wistaria in Washington.
One of the fine examples of the vine
grows on the old house at the northwest
corner of Massachusetts avenue and 11th
street It is an old house. but it looks
new, it is kept in such excellent repair
and seems always freshly painted white.
1t has verandas and columns and the
architecture of another time, but 1t is
dignified and handsome Climbing the
columns and lacing over the verandaS
and reaching from the ground to the
roof is wstaria. the stems as thick as
some Of the oldest grapevines which
one may see in this country. That wis
the Rambler can remember and his
memory begins now to reach well back
to the time when Washington was not a
metropolitan city. That house has come
to be locally known as the ''Wistaria
House" because of the purple beauty of
the vine which embraces it.
i; K
Another of the fine wistaria vines is
that which grows on one of the green
stone houses on the southwest side Of
Dupont Circle at the intersection of New
Hampshire avenue The clusters of pur-
Pile flowers reach from the little green
yard to the top of the house and present
a graceful floral picture. 1t is an old
vine, and if it paid heed to all the COM
pliments passed upon it. it would long
ago have been blighted by tlattery.
When you are looking for splendid wis
taria displays you should stroll along
the south side of Massachusetts avenue
between 18th and 10Th streets and note
the purple growth that is tangled around

Potomac Fishing Shores.

nj OF many days ago the Rambler
- came across a clipping taken from
The Star In May 1876, giving the names
of the various fishing shores on the Poto-
mac river as well as the names OF the
men fishing" them in that year Fish
ing a shore means the right of piscary
at that place, and sometimes the man
having that right was the owner Of the
shore, or the lessee for a season or a term
of seasons. or he might be a man who
.'fished' the shore for a share of the
profits.
The list of the shores on the Virginia
side of the river and the men hauling
senes there We're: Fowkes, Joseph Con-
rad: Windmill point and Tumps. Jacob
Faunce; Gums, Jerry Raub; Arkendale,
McLain Smith; Richland, Walter; Dipple

where long seines were being hauled as
late ds 1876. The Sandy Bar fishing shore
the Rambler believes to have been at
place now called Sandy point on the north
side of Broad creek where that stream
forms a bay directly south of Rozier's
Bluff, on which Fort Foote stands.
Bryan's shore is that long sandy beach
from the south side of Piscataway creek
at its junction with the Potomac at Fort
Washington to Marshall Hall, and White
House is the shore under the bluffs Of
Belvoir, two miles below Mount Vernon.
White Point fishing shore. which In 1876

sometimes the Rambler has felt that the
vine has been robbed of much OF the
sunshine that is its due Still, in spite
of the dfscourag cement of it's situation,
it bears rich flowers and c1inss to life as
tenacfously as vines more happily STU

At the southwest corner of the house
grows a treelike wiStaria deeply freight
ed with blossoms since the sunny days
of early spring And in looking at this
vine one feels pity that the blooms must
wither and fall They cannot remain
young fresh and unfading throughout all

which vines are like people or people ke

Glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
wellknown authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overWOrked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood. then
we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
q tablespoonful in glass Of water
before breakfast, and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to flush and stimulate the kid

urine SO it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder Weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves.

one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active, and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.-Adv.
