NEW YORK. If you wanted a big
sister whore would you go to And
her not when you're all grown
up and ablo to look after yourself, of
course, but when you're anywhere
from five to sixteen, and you'ro a girl,
just an ordinary New York girl, East
side, anywhere nt all?
And you needed a'ljlg sister terribly.
You never thought you did until that
gray winter morning when they took
you down the narrow little stairs from
tho detention room into the children's
court, write3 Izola Forrester in tho
Sunday Magazine of tho Now York
World.
It hadn't seemed really serious un
til then. You had gone tomovlng pic
ture showe instead of to school. You
had stayed out nights Instead of go
ing home. And who wouldn't? What
did all theso people know about the
place you called home these men and
women sitting at tho flat-topped desks,
writing, writing about children who
wouldn't bo good?
What did the smooth-faced young
judge up yonder know about you?
Wasn't that your mother with tho old,
red, crocheted shawl around her,
ready to take the stand against you,
and tell 111 3 honor you must bo sent
uway because she couldn't bo bother
ed with you?
Defiant Mood Natural.
Tho tears spring to your eyes, and
you wlpo them off on your sleeve
Quickly, dcOantly. Let them send you
away somo place. Who cares?
And just then you catch somo ono
watching you. She has been standing
up on the little platform next to
where tuo case3 aro tried. Somehow
she looks at you in a different way
irom anybody else. Sho almost looks
as if sho cared, and you staro back
at her, suspiciously at first, then hun
grily, until sho smiles and comes down
to sit beside you and talks as no ono
has ever talked to you before in all
your life.
And somo way tho little gray court
room has grown brighter. Even tho
judge looks pleasantcr. You catch
yourself tolling her all about how It
happened, in queer, choky sentences,
half finished, but sho understands.
And at last when they do lead you
up boforo the railing she stands be
side yo; and tells tho judge sho will
bo -your friend, he responsible for
you.
And that is how a Big Sister finds
n Littlo Sister.
It has only been going on a littlo
while two short years. Up to De
cember, 1910, tho little sisters of tho
children's court wero overlooked by
tho forces of lovo. Tho probation offi
cora took up their cases, tho Judgo
disposed of them.

And of tho 10,000' children arraigned
each year, more or less, the girls form
ed a goodly number.
''Tho first Big Sister was Sirs. V. K.
Vanderbllt," said tho general secre
tary or tho Big Sisters, Inc., at their
offices, Not 200 Fifth avenue, Now
York city. Sho is Mrs. Madellno
Evans, who resigned ns probation
officer of tho children's court to take
up her present work.
"Mrs. Vanderbllt started the work
in December, 1910. It was rather a
'dellcato business at llrst. Wo were
not probation officers, not officially
connected with tho children's courts
or charity agencies. We wre just
what the name Implied Big Sisters,
Lwho wanted to help. And they let
us gladly.
"Tho main thing, wo find now, is to
make a girl realize that there is some
ono who cares for her personal hap
piness and improvement They re
spond to the right treatment quite us
readily as the boys. Wo have 10G ac
tive Big Sisters now, and need more.
I am In court overy day, and there
is nlways ono of our court committee

Typical Case of Boy Misery.
The next cases aro boys. On tho
long bench a littlo fellow sits on tho
ery edge, holding hln ragged cap
tightly. Ills lips are p.irscd in a voice
less appeal. Silently tho tears run
down his cheeks. Ho catches tho eyes
of tho Big Sister watching htm and
gulpa a sob.

"You lmven't got any undershirt on,
havo you?" asks tho Big Slstor gontly,
so the other boys wouldn't hear, but
he holds his torn shirt together and
shakes his head out of prldo for tho
mother who waits at tho ond of tho
first bench. Sho doesn't son thu
green bill tucked away in his dirty, lit
tle moist palm nor hear tho hurried
compact of friendship.
"Little Mother's" Case.
Tho next is a caso of Improper

to bo lost. All they need Is lovo and
understanding and a fair chance, and
that Is what tho Big Sisters aim to

With all our supposed worship of

do 'hot feel at heart a deep-seated
love of home. Even amid the en

sonators and ambitious congressmen

and to talk about the attraction and
sanctity of "Homo." Tho word "homo"
is not found in tho language of any

In fact, it is not used In any modorn
Latin tongue. It needs long winters
and severe climates that drive the

there havo been protective meas
ures formulated to reduce the
wholesalo slaughter of wild birds,
but their Inadequacy Is common
knowledge. Tho case, In Its prac

allel with that of tho protection of
birds' eggs. It is useless to strike
at tho agent or collector; so long
ns the demand exists a supply will
bo forthcoming check ono col

throttle tho demand and, do causa,
every collector at once gives up tho
quest. So loug as the importation
and exportation of theso feathers
wero prohibited only on a largo

vidual, tho actual consumer, was al

long would means bo found to

of tho manner In which thoy wore obtained. If
sho could but once see an ogret nuisery in all Its

MAKE THEIR OWN LIGHT
Among tho most remnikablo of all nature's
phenomena Is tho marvelous llght-glvlng power
of many of our common plants and animals, ob
serves tho New York American.
Under certain conditions nasturtiums, sunflow
ers, dahlias, tuberoses and yellow lilies may bo
seen to glow with n soft rudlnnco, varying In
color and Intensity. Only those flowers that havo
an nbundanco of yellow or orange shades exhibit
this phosphorescence. Tho host tlmo to seo tho
light is utter dark, but often Intermittent and
flashing
Often In tho early fall tho ground will bo Il
luminated by tho glow from tho dead leaves. Tho
Australian poppy Is tho most remarkable of nil
tho luminous plants, for it has been found to
send out a light of Its own of quite noted bril
liancy. Mushrooms growing on decayed wood often
havo a degreo of brilliancy that, when they are
placed on a newspaper, will enable ono to read
tho words In their vicinity with no other light.
One species of mushrooms In Australia, 10 Inches
In dlametor, was of such brilliancy thnt, seen from
a distanco, its light frightened tho natives.
Moro Interesting than the luminous plants aro
tho luminous animals. The Pacific coast, famous
for its many curious specimens of plant und ani
mal life, Is tho homo of many of them.
Of all theso, tho ascldlnus aro most noteworthy.
