BURMESE FOND OF ANIMALS
Characteristic That Might Well Be
e Copied by Other Nations More
=; Highly Civilized.

The Burmese people naturally are
full OF the greatest sympathy toward
animals of all kinds, understand their
ways, and make them feel they are
their friends: And we know that II" 4
person is kind to animals he is gen.
orally kind to his fellowman.
A Burmese boy would never be H.
lowed to 60 bird-nestfng, Or rafting
with a terrier,- or ferreting rabbits,
These would be crimes. rst9.sii rr, r.
=, A Burman hates to KILL Neither for
sport, nor for revenge, nor for food,
must any animal be deprived Of the
breath that Is in it. 4 q ..,a s+r'
All the animals-the ponies, the cat
tie and the working butKaloes are 80
tame that it Is an almost unknown
thing for anyone to get hurt. You
can walk through the herds Of an eve
ming In perfect safety, for they will
not attempt to touch you. ~
Many of our growing boys think It
a grand thing to be Indifferent TO-
pain-not only their own but to that
of all others. To be sorry for wound
ed dog or a hunted hare seems "girly"
to them. But to the Burman kind
ness to animals is the highest Of all
virtues. He believes that nothing OF
great value can exist without COM
passion and love and sympat hy-that
these make up all that is most beauti-
full in life. y s$ Js$5 &r2s
think we can take q lesson from
the Burmese in their dealings. with
dumb animals:-The Young Soldier.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., July 26.-
That original, American, the bison,
IL going to be asked to pay his board.
Supported in royal ,idleness for many
years by the government, the buhalo,
once king of the plains, must now
bow to the changing times and be-
come a producer instead Of remain
ing a mere ornament.
However, 1t will not be SO difficult
for him to demonstrate his useful
ness as it has been for some OF those
who lost their jobs a. kings and went
to splitting wood or mending shoes
or doing a turn in vaudeville. Each
member OF the buffalo family. Each
down to the little princes and prin-
cesses, produces annually much hne
wool. which in, these days Of high
prices makes them desirable citizens
IN the best sense of the term. Fur
thermore, unlike those lesser mon
archs who have been forced to nee
their realms, King Bison will con-
tinue to rule over Americas wonder
land, Yellowstone National Park, and
his profile to adorn the once-useful
All that park authorities ask OF
their star boarder is the old clothes
he sheds each spring. The big yell
lowstone herd Of 500 grown animals
there are 30 calves expected this
year-turns loose annually when
warm weather comes several hundred
pounds Of wool, which could be in
creased by clipping: Ordinarily the
wool has gone to waste, but recently
= collection Of some OF the finest fibre
has been made for the purpose OF ex-
perimenting with the manufacture OF
coats and blankets for the Park
Rangers. 7..y;.z. #, . 49,.
The Canadian government and pri-
vate individuals in the United States
have been successful in utilizing buf-
falo wool, official reports showing
y that the cloth produced from 1t is
lighter in weight and offers greater
. resistance to cold than material made
of sleeps wool. It is those qualities
that particularly interest the Nation
al Park Service, for the Rangers who
guard the Yellowstone from murder
GUS poachers in the winter have to
tramp many miles through the snow
on skis or snowshoes, carrying heavy
packs filled with grub and bedding,
and under such circumstances every
ounce of weight that can be saved Is
of immense importance. Blankets
seven feet long and six feet wide, w0-
ven < from buffalo wool grown on a
Texas; ranch weighed only four
pounds and four ounces. Soldiers at
frontier posts have long recognized
the warmth of buffalo coats and the
buffalo rove was prominent feature
of the rigorous life of pioneer days. Il
Though Of shorter fibre than
sheeps's wool. the .uffalo's coat IS
very fire and fluffy and can be woven
easily by intermixing a small guam
.+'+v cf nther wool. The color Is a
beautiful glossy brown.
o. course it is not the intention to
ccmmercialize the Yellowstone herd
in any way: the animals are among
+he: most cherished property of the
Unified States Government. The wool
to be used for experimental purposes
is solely for the Park Rangers after
being shed by the animals.
