the trumpet was given to the mounted regi-

DRYING RAISINS.
a New Process Recommended by Wei

a New Process Recommended by Well
Known Southern Grower.
While in Los Angeles the other day, says
the Ontario Observer, we had talk with
MIR. l.. A. Stombs of the Los Angeles can
factory, who submitted to us plan for dry
ing raisins by the use of vacuum process.
Mr.. Stombs proposes to place the fruit in an
air-tight tank, and by injecting quantity
Of dry steam TO drive out the air, he can
produce strong vacuum, and as all moisture
evapOrates rapidly under vacuum, he claims
by condensing the vapor as fast as it
is produced he can continue the
action of the vacuum on the fruit
until all moisture is extracted, or until it is
in proper condition dried to preserve the
fruit. He claims the work can be done
very expedisiousIy, and where it now takes
from ten to fifteen days to cure raisins
under the best conditions of weather and
attended at the same time with a large eX-
pense of labor, he claims he can accomplish
the same end in from five to eight hours at
a minimum cost of labor, and will dry ali
alike, while drying in the sun raisins are
apt to become too much dried on one side
AMI not enough on the other. He claims
that the raisins when dried by vacuum. at
the completion of the work are in the same
condition as they are after going through
the sweating process as now DracticeQ.

nasty smelling torches. All this is done in
solder fashion, save perhaps that there Is
little more harity in the march to camp
than customary, but as the order is route

Then again the idea is abroad that the
opening of "A big camp necessarily means a
cayalcade of the officer commanding and his
staff with cavalry or other escort, a general
turning out of the guards, roar of artillery
and hurrying and skurrying as if pande-
mOnium had been let loose. It's a delusion.

The soldiers, for no one knows how long,
have fitted rhymes to the calls. The words
OF these simple and rude rhymes are as Ia
mtiar to military people as the household
tales OF infancy and as indelibls.
Reveille is the first roll-call of.the day, and
the morning gun is fired and the flag goes
up with the sounding of the first note. The
soldiers come out of their tents, and if they
do not the sleepy-heads with seal-brown
tastes in their mouths will find themselves
out in the street nolens vOiens aud some
times clad more scantiy than In a bathing

such roll-calls during the day, at reveille,
retreat and tattoo. Retreat is sounded at
sunset, when the flag is lowered and the
evening gun is fired at the last note of the
call. Tattoo is generally sounded at 9
o'clock, but later in National Guard camps,
and soon comes taps-a signal to eXtiuguish
lights.

mounting, and so on one might 60 through
the long list. 1t has been said that as there
was great deal of Formally and circum-
stance about all these calls, and not the
slightest infringement of the dignity of the
routine was permitted, the rhymes which
the soldiers made in their rollickng, off

ARIZONA TERRITORY.
The Name Is Monument to the Gallant,

The Name Is Monument to the GalIantry
of the Great Cortez.
The Tucson Star says: Here is the true
way by which this Territory was named
Arizona. During the time that Herman
Cortez travelled through this country-over
800 years ago-there lived a tribe of Indians
IN the country around Casa Grande, near
Florence, that we're named by Cortez him
self Los Narizones," or the "Big Noses"
The women were called LAS Narizonas."
Now the query is, did this Territory derive
its name from that tribe of Indians, now ex-
tinctP The suppostion is that it did. The
country was named by Cortez SCI Pals de
las Narizonas," preferring through polite
ness the feminine to the masculine. After
many years the MeXca1s dropped all that
preceded the word "Narizonas," and, in
speaking of this country, then almost terra
incognita, they would say zen Narizonas.
In course OF time they eliminated the IN 4"
at the beginning and the IS" at the end Of
the word and it became Arizona, as we now

The general reader, it may be safely as
serted, has some faint lurking suspicion that
the departure of brigade OF troops for
camp is attended with much OF the noisy
demonstrations which characterize picnic
that the battalions march to the depot with
flags flying, music playing and drums beat
ing; that a general rush is made for seats in
the cars and once started the soldiers have
the run of the train for sky-larking and up
roarious merriment. Nothing is further
from the fact. True, the march to the train
is attended with good deal of martial
show, but upon arrival as every company
is allotted to particular car the band to
another and the field aud staff to another,
the companies are marched in an orderly
manner into their cars.
AT once the First Sergeant posts sentI-
mel at each end and one remains there until
the end of the journey to see that the men re-
main within their car. In fact no one can pass
these sentlnels save officers and those of the
nOn-commisslOned staff. At the end of the
journey the battalion is formed again and is
