1t was called by the aboriginal inhah.
itants Of the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward, observes q geograph-

first came to one Of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that q vaN
country lay to the eastward. and that
its name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts
called their own island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
Alayeksa. BY a process of Russian
izing and Anglioi4ing Alayeksa became
Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became
Unalaska. The original Aleutian word
Alayeksa meant ''the great country"

PUDDLES, A CAT FISHERMAN
Emulated Skill Of His Master, and En-.
joyed Diving in and Fetching
Out the DoQfish.

The English naturalist Francis
Buckland, once told q story Of a fish.
erman of Portsmouth, England, whose
cat, Puddles, emulated in his peculiar
way the fishing skill of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. BucA.and
said:
He was the wonderfullest water
cat as ever come out of Portsmouth
harbor, was Puddles. He used 20 60

nights he would sit in my lap while l
was a-fishin' and poke his head out
every now and then, or else I would
wrap him up in the sail and make him
lie quiet. He'd lay down on me when
I was asleep, and il anyone come he'd
swear good one, and have the face
off 'em If they went to touch me. And
he'd never touch a fish, not even lit
tie teeny pout, If I didn't give 1t to
him. was obligated to take him out
a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till I went back and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat. and then he was quite happy.
When 1t was fine he used to stick
up at the bow of the boat and sit a.
watchin' the dogfsh. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at a
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive in and fetch 'em out,
jammed in his mouth, just as If they
was a parcel Of rats. He looked ter.
rible wild about the head when he
come up out of the water with the fish
in his teeth.
I larnt him the water myself. One
day. when he was kitten, I took him
down to the sea to wash him and

Clay poIlies-eoys Jump Rope
cad Rol! Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up in
the morning they do not 60 to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article of furniture. says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
rans down to the foot Of the ladder
for the house Is built on pOsts--to a
large jar Of water with coconul
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face
She needs no towel, for the water is
left to org. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for it is
all shaved except little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied in a
little knot and not very often combed
After breakfast Is over, the children
go off and find some pleasant place in
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried in the sun, Little images Of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls
The boys of Siam are very fond OF
pitching coins, and spend much of their
time In this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are in
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
As the streets in Siam are almost
ell rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and eirls early learn to row, aad pad:
die their little boats almost as soon az
they learn to swim, which they do
when they are only four or five years
old.
