Calisthenics for the Young Women, Last T h u r s d ay evening soon after five o'clock, a R E C O RD reporter walked into the A r m o r y. T h en it dawned upon him at once w hy out side standing room at the A r m o ry windows had been at a premium among the boys for several days— the hour when the young it was women take calisthenics under the instructions of Lieut. Bandholtz. T he class was a large one, com prising nearly all the young women in in College. T h ey were formed double rank and put through the the simple facings and some of marching evolutions. T h en in open order, they were given setting-up exercises, including trunk, head and limb movements, jumping, hopping, etc., to give elasticity and suppleness and to develop moderately all mus cles. N e xt came simple exercises with Indian clubs and a brisk run around the drill-room. T he young women enter into this work with considerable enthusiasm and evident enjoyment. Dressed in their navy blue woolen uniforms with blouse waists and short, full skirts, and wearing light gymnasium slippers, they acquire a charmingly easy and graceful movement. include Besides the work with Indian clubs they have been given several the medicine balls. exercises with This work will be continued and will simple and medium combinations with the clubs. T h en ,vill follow exercises with dumb bells and wands. Basket ball also promises to be a popular winter rec reation for the young women. T wo basket ball outfits are owned by the College and large drill-room furnishes ample space for two games to proceed at the same time. Already steps are being taken to organize rival clubs with the Hall girls on one side and the down-town girls on the other. the T he Street Cars are Coming. Yes, it is now very probable that within a few days we shall have the street cars on the .campus ; that in stead of having to walk half a mile and wait ten, fifteen or twenty min utes for a car, we shall be able to step aboard at Station Terrace, or if we must wait at all it will be in a neat little waiting room. T he road will extend along side of the north the road on the grounds, just outside of the north row of elms, to the east side of the arboretum. H e re it will enter the grounds and run through the plum orchard to a point between the resi dence of Dr. E d w a r ds and Station Terrace. At the terminus the Col little depot, lege will erect a neat and as soon as danger of frost is over in the spring will put in a wide artificial stone walk from the depot to College Hall. F or a long time the College au thorities have been endeavoring to get the road extended. About three weeks ago President Snyder ob tained the township board, and since that time plans for the extension have gone merrily on. Last week both the company and the College began work. Ties, poles and rails were the right of way from distributed along the route, and a the gang of men began work on old road. the Saturday morning company put on a grading gang of teams and men. T he College had already graded its share of the road bed, the part that lies on College the grounds. It is grading will be completed to-day. As soon as this is done the company will put on a larger gang of men to to lay completion. T he College will con struct and own that portion of the track which extends through Col lege property. track, and rush the work thought that in it disagreeable T he extension of the road will be the of almost inestimable value to College. Y o u ng people from the city, especially young women, have found stormy weather to leave the cars at the west entrance and walk a long distance to classes, and still more disagree able upon returning to be compelled to wait in rain, sleet or snow for the car. All this will be done away with. T h e n, too, it will be a great saving of time and patience to Col lege residents.

A Morning with the Fishermen of Plymouth. to T h e re are the Barbican Half past five in the morning is rather an early hour for a sight seer in England to be abroad, but there are some things that can be seen only at that time and for this reason I am hurrying through the streets of Stonehouse in Plymouth to see the sale of fish in few the fish market. people in the streets, a stray work man or two going to Devenport, and a non-commissioned officer of marines on his way to the barracks. I always enjoy seeing these fellows with their close fitting red jackets and little fatigue caps deftly hung their on the north-east corner of heads. that so many of them carry slender, elastic canes, but I am told it is a regulation, to give them a way of disposing of their hands seems curious It A brisk walk of fifteen minutes and then a rather decided descent of the streets informs me that I am nearing the harbor, though none is is in sight. A sudden turn and I find myself looking out on several acres of water and shipping. A long, stone-paved space, backed by old fashioned houses, and facing a har bor, called Sutton Pool, the Barbican, and here, in the open air, is the place where the fish auction is held. It is nothing more than a great stone landing place. During the night and early morning the fishing boats come in, and at half past six, or seven o'clock, their catch is sold to the highest bidders, whole the salers. W o m en buyers. often are trawlers, the cutter still, called r i g; others In the pool are numerous fishing craft of picturesque build and color ; small, single masted ones, something rather of larger, with two m a s t s; and a few larger from their method of fishing. T h e re are steam trawlers also, though none are in this morning. On the bow of each boat a number is painted for the required registration. H e re you get no poetic " W h i te W i n g s ." T he canvas, patched seamed of course, is red, being painted with color some preservative. ranges all the way from a dull, washed out red, to an Indian red, or rich brown. T he and T he landing fishermen are just their catches and one's attention is divided between the picturesqueness of the fishers and their fish. One seems to have stepped into the fore ground of one of T u r n e r 's pictures. Some of these men with their sea faces and weather beaten togs would captivate a class. sketch Here are women who for build, vigor of action and general "get up," are equal to any of the men. In see an occa sional marine or seaman, possibly selecting fish for the mess. the crowd we for spread out A nd what quantities of fish! Baskets of iridescent mackerel. Flat skates and turbots, occupying a great deal too much room as they examination. are H a k e, in general appearance some thing like the cod, making the most of themselves in long rows. A man in oil skins empties a basket of con ger eels, big fellows, five or six inches in diameter and four feet long perhaps. One wonders how he is to get them all back into the basket, but after they are sold he deftly coils them in, a good deal as if they were rope. in As we are looking about a man this calls out, "mackerel buyers fisherman has arranged way." A three his catch of mackerel baskets ready to be sold. Instead of a large crowd gathering around them only a half dozen rather in different looking people are on hand. T he sale begins. But two men are bidding. T h e re are a few calls from the auctioneer, with responses from one or the other of the men, and mysterious allusions to "bobs", (which I know means the English shilling,) a little good natured badin age, and the sale of that lot is con cluded. finan I have fears for the cial outcome for the catcher of the mackerel, but he expresses himself as well pleased, the sale being more than ordinarily profitable. Often the bidders are not immediate vicinity of the fish put up for sale, but at some distance and make their bids by signal. in the I have a friend among the fisher men, and he asks me to take a a cruise around to his anchorage. I walk Waiting his convenience the the Barbican down tha "Mayflower" word to where in is cut stone pavement, and a bronze tablet in the parapet near by tells me that from this spot the Pilgrim fathers embarked for the new world. about as deep as the keel, and rest ing on the bottom, the craft from heeling over as the water recedes. to prevent the board inside of Soon we commanding the are on " F a n n y ," and leaving the Pool we move with the outgoing tide and a light breeze through the Cattewater out into Plymouth Sound.

E W NIFRED CANNELL (Written for the Cooking Class ) The word condiment takes its de rivation from the Latin word condi- mentum, meaning to make savory, and is applied to a class of articles used in the preparation of food for the table, or used by the individual as taste may direct after the food has been pre pared. Condiments differ from foods in that they supply nothing which is essential to the system. Those in most common use are pep per; mustard; various herbs, as sage, mint, thyme, parsley, bay-leaf, and others; and all the spices, principally ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nut meg, mace; also flavoring extracts, va nilla, lemon, bitter almond, etc. Most of the so-called sweet herbs may be raised in any kitchen-garden, and many of them, as sage and mint, are used for medicinal purposes as well as in cookery. Others are imported. Ordinary black pepper is made from the dried berry of a climbing plant, found in Java, Sumatra, Ceylon and other Asiatic countries. White pepper, which is by many cooks preferred, dif fers from black pepper, only in being made from the inside of the berry after the outer husk has been removed. The berries are sometimes used whole and are then called peppercorns. Red pepper is made from Capsicum, a species of plant which belongs, botanically, to the same family as our common potato. We are all familiar with the green pods raised in our gar dens and used in our pickles, but the Capsicum, or Cayenne, as we usually call it, of commerce is prepared from the fruit found in South America and the West Indies. Mustard is prepared by crushing the seeds of a plant be tween rollers. Cinnamon is the ground bark of a tree found in Ceylon, Java and other islands. Cloves are the unexpanded flower- tree buds of a handsome evergreen N O V E M B ER 2, 1S97. T HE M. A. C. R E C O R D. found in the West Indies and else where. They derive their name from the French word clou, meaning a nail, from a fancied resemblance in shape. Allspice, or Pimento, is also the dried fruit of a tree found in the West In dies, and takes its name from being supposed to combine the flavors of all other spices. Mace and nutmegs are the products of a tree largely cultivated in the Mo- lacca Islands, Java, Sumatra and Bra zil. These trees produce a fruit re sembling a peach and enclosing a hard kernel. From the outer covering of these, mace is obtained; the inner ker nel is the nutmeg. Wooden nutmegs are essentially a New England pro duct. Among extracts for flavoring is va nilla, which is prepared from a bean grown in tropical America. Others are prepared from fruits whose names they bear. the shrubs or Ginger is prepared from the root- stock of a plant largely cultivated in the West Indies, and also in Africa and China. It is the most healthful of all the spices and is used in medicine, internally as an aromatic stimulant, and externally as a plaster for head ache. Most condiments have no value as food, but simply act as stimulants, in creasing the flow of saliva and gastric juice and enhancing the fine flavor of the food. into As I have said, their name signifies to make savory, and as food that is agreeable to the palate is more per fectly assimilated and more readily di gested, they have their use in domestic economy. But there is great danger that the proper use of them may de their abuse. Among generate savages they are unknown, and they are not needed by those who, from their occupation or healthful surround ings, are blessed with vigorous appe tites and sound digestion. Nor are they generally relished by children. In fact, a great craving for these stimu lants is one of the signs of an impaired digestive power. Not only do they overstimulate, oftentimes, the gastric juices, but by exciting an abnormal appetite they give the stomach more work than it is able to perform. To this has been at tributed the failure in health of so many Europeans in India, who, failing to recognize in the loss of appetite and increasing lastitude the enervating ef fects of a hot climate, try to increase the desire for food by hot curries, etc., thereby increasing the very evil they are trying to guard against. Different condiments are appropriate for different foods, and there is a hy gienic reason for the use of pepper and mustard with lobster and beans; lem on juice or vinegar, which "increase the solvent properties of the gastric juices," with cabbage and beets. It is in the proper admixture of dif ferent spices and flavors that the cook has an opportunity of displaying cul inary skill, for upon this, much of the excellence of the cookery depends.
