Annabel La.
It wai many and many a year ago.
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived, whom you
may know
By the name of Annabel Lee:
.And this maiden she lived with no other
thought
Than to love, and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,.
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more
than love,
I and my Annabel
With a love that the winged seraphs of
heaven
Coveted her and me.
.And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wiud blew out of a clond, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me.
To shut her np in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
'The angels, not half so happy In heaven,
Went envying her and me,
Test that was the reason (as all men
know
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by
night,
-, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than
the love
Of those who were older than we;
Of many far wiser than we;
..And neither the angels In heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
-Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

Home time thereafter the company
was playing in a New England city
when a glint of wind caught a looking-
ghihs that had been leaned against the
wall of the theater in readiness to be
cuirled inside, and smashed It into
bits. Again great fear assailed Miss
Crosman's company, but, as before, the
consequences were good Instead of
evil, for the engagement In this par
ticular town proved to be the largest
In the history of the local theater
Soon the third mirror was broken, and
as before some good luck befell. Then
the members of Miss Crosman's com
pany took heart and began to assure
themselves that it was lucky for them
to smash a looking-glass. It Is a con
splcuous fact that every looking-glass
which has been broken In Miss Cros
man's company has been followed by
some uncommon good fortune. - Thus,
just before the recent engagement In
Philadelphia, which In point of receipts
was the biggest ever played by a dra
matlc company In this country at sim
liar prices, a large pier glass was bro
ken as it was being taken Into the
theater. In Albany also, last -winter,
a looking-glass was smashed . In the
theater, and the engagement In that
city la a part of dramatic history, as
the business was the biggest on record
and established Albany as a great
theatrical city. .
Then, again, Just before Miss Cros
man and her company began their run
In Boston not long ago, another mir
ror met the fate of its predecessors.
making the thirteenth that bad been
broken In the company In three years.
The Boston engagement was a brilliant
success, and It was followed by a New
England tour which has become) cele
brated as the most profitable ever play
ed by any dramatic star In that sec
tion of the country. Not once has any
thing that In any way could be regard

mirror-smashing, while In every In

LARGEST OF DEEP SEA FISHES.
'' Here Is a drawing of the largest fish that ever came out of the lower
depths of the sea. It Is five feet long and was caught by C. H. Townsend,
of the United States Fish Commission, on board of the government steamer
Albatross, off the coast of Chill. It was drawn to the surface by a trawl
-(a big drag net) from a depth of 6,300 feet, or about a mile and a quarter.
By an unfortunate accident the fish was afterward thrown overboard, with
a lot of refuse, but luckily not before Its photograph had been taken. In
f-olor It was grayish, and its flesh waa soft and flabby, like that of other
deep sea fishes. It had thick lips, small teeth and a projecting lower jaw. It
took three hours to pull up the dredge, a fact which gives a vivid notion of
the great depth from which the animal came.

Another respect in which Illinois la
behind the other great manufacturing
States Is In the limiting of the hours
of labor during which children under
18 years of age may be employed. The
Illinois law provides that children un

than ten hours a day or sixty hours a
week, but It Is found hard to enforce.
Meanwhile New York, Pennsylvania,
