A kerosene soaked torch at the end of a long pole. held under the nest until 1t burns down, Is the next best thing, although in that case care must be taken not to scorch tho bark of tho tree seriously.
 The permanent remedy Is to coax bach the birds which used to eat the cater pillars. but that is a slow process and the campaign with the torch Is prompt and sure. But the torch users might at the same time learn to invite birds to their premises, so that In time the torch will become unnecessary. One caterpil- lars nest will do more harm than all the robins and cherry birds which can invade a garden.

A Fearless Army Mule
From the American Boy.

 The fact that a mule Is stubborn may lessen his value to the average user-but the soldier is inclined to value this trait. The mule Is being rated above the horse for actual use under fire on the battle fields of Europe and is much used by the artillery. An untrained horse, being nervous and high strung, is likely to dash about madly under fire. but the mule stubbornly holds his place regardless of the din The British are now planning to mount part of their cavalry on American mules.
 A favorite story of the British ar tillery Is told of the artillerymen who tried to retreat with their gun under a warm attack. The gun team of mules stubbornly refused to budge so. in des- peration, the gunners returned to the gun and succeeded in beating back the, attack. They were warmly commended, for their valor-but admitted that the praise was properly due the mules.

It Is a highly significant fact that we do the biggest things in life precisely like we do the least things.
 A girl who grows up without a sense of order. is seriously handicapped when she enters the business world. for in- stance, for there, as in heaven. order is the first law
 There is no place for the young woman in the work-a-day world who hasn't learned to keep her work tidy and tabu- lated. If she has any emotions, any lit- tie petty dislikes or prejudices. she d bet ter card-index them and see that they are kept out of sight until she has the leisure and the intelligence to burn them once and forever, scattering the ashes to the winds. It isn't safe to leave them lying around.
 Any woman who has worked will tell you a great many reasons why a girl without sense of order has no place In a business office, where things move by clock work and the temperamental kite doesn't fly to anybody's advantage.
 It Is not overwork that breaks the average wage earning woman down; it is lack of intelligent order and system in what she does
 The business world, however. Is only one of many places that woman needs order.
 A society woman can go to pieces quite as disastrously if she has not sys- tenn to her days engagements and hor other activities.

A different and more personal phasd of the matter is this:
 You want your little girl to grow up to be normal, well balanced, wholesome woman of course you do; you have individual.
 Fresh air is sensible, of course-a neces- sity; all sorts of outdoor exercise and good food, and-well--you know the recipe by heart; we all do
 In spite of following 1t, however, many young girl lands exactly at the port from which you thought to steer her. The wonder is that more of them do not end up with nerves tangled and every thing in whirl, for in modern training for life the old-fashioned maxim teach ing the importance. is frequently over looked.
 D If the child in the nursery isn't taught order, a place for every book, a place for every chair, a place for every toy, and the importance of each thing in it's own proper place, she will grow up into the kind of young girl who leaves her clothes strewn about the room and tnlnKs one place Is as good as another for her slip pers, her gloves, her veils and her gowns.
 Certainly she may have maid to look after these things for her. just as she had nurse to pick up her toys the actual work involved in doing either is trifling, but habit, you know, is chain, and every day of our lives we forge a link.
