LONDON, May 26.-The Government

GERMAN Rewriting the Plays in Eliza
bcthan Tachygraphy,

Dr. Eduard Engcl has written the fol
lowing letter To one OF the Berlin news
papers:
III Il lecture | delivered some wears
ago to the Berlin Society of Strnoora
phers. who use Stolze's system | sup-
Eested that those accurately acquainted
with the oldest English shorthand .vs-
tens of the sixteenth century should
u! 10 ascertain whether many of the
uenclencles of the text of Shaksneare
might not be explained by stenocraph-
&c mistakes. The idea was suggested to
me 10y the old and well-founded coniec-
ture or Shakspearean scholars that the
oldest copies of Shakspearc.s plavs-thc
so-called QuartoS--were printed from
stchographic notes. taken in the thea
Ter, ana that many of the uninteligihili-
tleS OF the text are due to this. NV
suggestion fell on fruitful soil. and
nave now the pleasure of making the
eNcellcnt work of Il young Savant. who
mas mus sprung at one leap into the
ranks of our best Shakspearean schol-
airs. known to wider circles. In a series
OF articles on Shakespeare and the be-
glnning> of English stenography, Herr
hurt HewiScheit has proved beyond the
shadow of doubt that the nuarto edi-
lions OF Shakspcare'S plays were pira-
ted editions printed from stenographic
notes. that the stenographic system
used was that of Timothy Bright who
was born in 1850 and that innumerable
mistakes in the quartos. innumerab bic
contradictions between them and the
first authorized folio editions, can be a
once and most simply explained by the
defects of that stenographic system and
the indeNterity of the stenographers of
that time. Herr Dewischeit has con-
trmed my conjecture almost beyond
my own expectation. He is at present
the only person who possesses all the
requisite qualifications for this quite
now kind of text Investigate ton, and it is
to be wished that he. with his accura t.
knowledge of the oldest English stem
ography. combined with solid Shak-
spearean scholarship. would subject
the texts of the dramas to thorough
ADMINISTRATION. The publication of the
text of Shakespeare is raised by him for
the first time from arbitrary fantastic
atty to the rank of a strict science.
with which. however. only Shakespeare
can scholars theoretically and practic
ally trained in stenographic questions
are at liberty TO busy themselves. Sci
dom has higher. never has a more de-
lightful. task fallen to Stenography."

Putting Up Grapevines.

One of the first jobs to be done in
spring is to lift up the grapevines from
the ground. where they We're thrown
after last fall or winters pruning. This
is necessary to prevent the buds of the
vine from starting prematurely. as
they are very likely to do if the vines
are left in a sheltered place and expos
ed to the direct rays of the sun while
protected from the cold winds that usu-
ally prevail during much of April. So
soon as the grape bud bursts into leaf
the slightest frost will kill it. To keep
1t back as much as possible, and avoid
the danger from late spring frosts,
should be the winners care. and this
in spring is best accomplished by keep
ing the vine on its trellis.

FIDROTD TUHEOR
Expelled by LYDIA Z. Pinkham's
Veget15io Compound.

MRS. p. a. LOMBARD Box II, West
dale, Mass, writes: - have reason to
think that l would rot be here now if
it had not been for Lydia u. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. 1t cured me of
u fibrOid tuInor in my wOmb.
Doctors could donothing forme, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
l will tell you about it:
q had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
bat it did me no good. lie said the
flow must be stopped If possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
"Upon examination, he found there
was fibroid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
called on me. and recommended Lydia
E. PinlSham's Vegetable Compound;
said she owed her life to it. l said l
would try it, and did. Soon after the
flow became more natural and regular.
I still continued taking the Compound
for some time Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right. The tuInor had passed
away, and that dull ache was gone"
1t can be truthfully stated that
such arcsult can be accomplished by no
other remedy upon the market, and
forcibly proves the peculiar virtue OF
the Vegetable Compound
