The Klluhar.

From all we can learn, the Arabic word
khabar signifies news; and as used in India
1t means method of communicating news
III some extraordinary manner which, it is
alleged, science fails to unravcl. The speed
with which the news travels is said to be
greater than TINT of the electric telegraph !;
but that We take leave to doubt. At any
rate, should yon walk through an Indian
markct-place to view the silks Of Cashmere
or stroll into a Turkish bazaar in quest of a
serviceable saddle, your hospitable native
acquaintance will ask, "Have you heard
tho news of so-and. so, or of such h-and-such
q placc2" Your reply being in the negative
ne may probably proceed to tell you what
the khabar saya ON important affairs trans
piring at distance. TO your astonishment
you find, after few days, or even weeks,
that your loquacious hindoo, Turkish, Arab
or Pcrsion friend has told you the truth
with tolcrable correctness Tho Earl of
Carnarvon, in his interesting little volume
"Recollcctions of the Druses of Lebanon, I"
makes this observation; 'tNo great moral
or religious movement can be confined to
the country where it Is first born; and
through all ages, sometimes by subtle and
almost mysterious agency, the spark of in
tclligencc has flashed along the electric chain
by which the nations of the East are darkly
bound to each other" And in proof of tho
existence of this potent agency, he relates
that during the Sikh war (l845.6) there
were cases in which the nows of defeat or
victory forestalled the arrival of any letters
on tho subject; and, further, that in the
late Indian mutiny the somewhat cxaggcr-
ated Intelligence of Gen. Windham's re-
pulse at Cawnporc actually reached tho
Indians of Honduras, and the Maorls of
New Zealand In manner truly astonishing.
A relative of the writer of the present no.
tioe states that when in Jerusalem during
the Crimean war he often found that the
khabar of the bazars anticipated the ordina-
ry channels of communication by many
days, and generally with but little depar-
ture from accuracy. Various theories has
heen adduced to account for the marvellous
rapidity with which news is transmitted or
intcrcommunicated among nations who pos
sess neither the electric power nor steam
power. Some even allege that certain
mysterious phychic force is brought to bear
between man and man, separated by long
distances from each other, in a manner
somewhat similar to tho revelations wc
sometimes hear Of as given by one relative
to another at distance. But be 1t as 1t
may, there can be no doubt that there exists
in Eastern countries some means whereby
intelligence is conveyed with marvellous
celerity, without the aid of either steam or
eleCtricity sr. 10 :

Away over and up In Douglas County,
Oregon, @. w. Smith shouldcred his Hem

was snow on. the ground and tracks--bear
traoks--on the snow. Two miles across q
valley and up a hill the hunter followed tho
trail. All at once huge cinnamon bear
appeared In the path, walking loisurely
along. The crack of the Henry, sharp
reverberatien among the crags, the thun-
derous answer Of the beast, and the hunter
took to his heels. On bounded bruin. Smith

found but eight bullets, and the mystery
was explained. In starting on the hunt he

Bathing.

Cleanliness is surely next to godlincss.
l do not think an individual can be physi-
cally unclean and morally pure. One of
the greatest causes of skin diseases Is the
lack of the use of water. There is ct all
times and under all circumstances a she'd
ing Of the epithelium of the skin. 1t comes
off in scales which If not removed, will
close the pores Of the skin and prevent the
free respiration that is constantly taking
place. One of natures modes of disposing
Of her surplus heat and waste matter is by
sending them out through the pores of the
skin. In fact so essential is this to the
physical economy, that if the body be COW
cred with coat of varnish for even Il short
time death will occur. Flom this you will
observe how important it is for US to keep
every pore open. TO do this VIC must
bathe. l will not stop TO speak of the
benefits to be derived from the employment
of Turkish or other baths, but bathc regu-
larly and often. Every man, woman and
ohld should bathc twice week at least,
and oftcner when the employment followed
is such as to render it necessary. Now it
may be strange, but most people don't
bathc once month on an average, and one
that no good comes from it. While spong-
'iSo SiiS u oSiA oiA 10 DCttSl llOO DhIillIS
at all, yet it is not as beneficial as it should
be. 1t is not necessary that you have
bath room, with all the modern convenience
cs. All you need is warm room and Il
few gallons of water, some soap and a
sponge. 1t requires no skill to use them
Use the bath if you would preselYc your
health. remember of hearing doctor
tell a patient to take a warm bath. The
patient aftcrward said "That's the fust
water that has touched my back in sixteen
years." Tho man that will not wash him
self oftcncr than that is brute. Physical
ly we are nation of invalids. We can
never he aught else as long rs we antago-
nizc all the laws of hygiene by our daily
lives. The neglect of cleanliness is one of
the most tlagrant causes of dcscasc. Then
keep your body clean, and my word for it
you will instinctively lothe and abhor all
that is vile and filthy. A physically i'm
pure man or woman is an object of aver
sion to everybody. Regard cleanliness us a
cardinal virtue. ....

Tho Name aud tho Origin OF Ca t..

One of tho most singular proofs Of
the foreign importation and perhaps Of
the late arrival In Europe of tho cat is
10 be found In It's various names. 1t is
said that none of them came from the
old Aryan source from which most Of
our languagei is derived. Most Of them,
like the familiar chat, are connected
with the late Latin catus, which took
the place of the earlier .Jelis, when cats
drove out the former foes Of rats and
mice. 1t seems to follow that cats came
into the West with the Romans, but
whence did the Romans got the name
and the animali NJ. Pictet traces the
name to the Syriac cato, and the Arabic
Qitt, out Of which by al easy and natur-
al process we make kitten. Qut and
Qato, however, are not the primitive ma
tive forms of the cats long-dcscendcd
title, and we must go from Syria to
Africa to find gaia, kadiska and kaddiska.
AS for the ancient Egyptian "mab,"
that Is merely the "mew cat' and the
"pussy new" of English nurseries.

human being might give it when he
first heard the pcevish, prolonged note
Of his voice. The Indian names Of the
cat are not very old, and they are easily
explained. The cat is "the house :"
the "rat-eater" (though snakes are the
ratters of some dlstricts), and the "ioe
Of mice" The endcarlng title Of the cat
comes from the land whence the most
pleasing specimens Of the race are also
derived. The Persian cat, wild or
tame, is "puschak," which the Afghans
pronounce "pischik," and tho Llthu-
anians, as old an Aryan-speaking race
as any in Europe, 'puIJe." The En-
glish 'puss" Is clearly of the same fam
lily Of words. If "puss" In. the long
run is derived from a Sanscrit word for
"tail," there is curious coincidence
between the word used by Herodotus
for the Egyptian cat, "thc creature with
waving TAIL" and tho term found In
Persian, Lithuanian, and English.

river md throw its waters one half mile
to the eastward. On its east banks,
nearly opposite TO this mOuLt.ip, tue
shocks caused fissure in the earth from
two to ten feet wide. over . mile long
and Of unknown depth. Indians say a
blue sulphurous smoke Is occasionally
still seen arising from this assure.
These shocks appeared TO come from
. northwest direction. Since that date
shocks have come AZ intervals ever
since. The last was or Sept 18th. 1879.
At the assure, and hear it. they are Of
almost daily occurrence Mr. 5 c Nil
Ter kept record Of al. these shocks for
nearly two years, from Dec. 1872. This
record was stolen forwards.
This country north Of the Wenstchee
is almost unsettled, and is one OF the
widest and fullest Ct wonders Of any
region on the coast.
Besides their trading post, Messrs
Miller & Frecr keep some 500 head Of
cattle. aud raise some fine prodrce. The
only other settlers IN this beautiful lit
tie spo. are two GermaLs. John Gal
Ter, who lives one mile ives. OF the Coz
lumbia river, and eight miles be- W the
store. near Lake Nockit,leman. He
raises very fine grapes IN large quau-
titles. The other is Phlip Miller, who
lives only two and one half miles from
the store. He settled in 1873, has 100
cattle. cuts 80 tons Of hay, and this year
had 100 bushels Of peaches from 80
trees; besides grapes as sweet as the
finest grown in California.
1t seemed very strange to be one day
wntiiug through snow in the mountains.
and the next 10 be in SO warm and
beautiful a spot, where no frost had
come, and where what was snow in the
mountains on Sept. 30. was here the
first rain storm in over four months.
OF course the settlers here all irrigate
their crops.
After stopping ono day here feasting
on their fruits. etc, on Friday Oct. 3D.,
l started again afoot over the high
mountains that separate Millersburg
from the Kittitas Valley. 1t is about
twenty five miles of mountain climb
ing, beside the level ground to 60 over.
That evening l reached the Valley and
slept in an Indian tent. who furnished
q pair of nice. clean buffalo robes for
the occasion. The next two days l Wis
tied with Mr. Staples and son. who run
a sash and furniture factory. and with
l. II Witter and family. formerly of
Suohomish City. He runs . Single
machine. Also with Geo + Smith. the
cattle drover.
l have purchased a cuitan and in a
short time will 60 over the Kittitas
and Yakima valleys. when from Yaki-
ma l will write a description Of these
