From the New York Sun.
 Muncie, Ind-Young men students in the CO., educational Muncie Normal in- stitute are watching with interest the experiment being conducted by the do- mestio science department of the school. in which the young women students of domestic science receive the privl- lege of operating one of the college boarding houses
 Each week five girls take charge of the boarding house. One is manager for the day, two are cooks and two are maids. In the course of the week each of the five becomes manager ard the former manager accepts one of the minor positions.
 The manager does the buying for the day, attends to collections and super vises all the housework, being held re- sponsible for conditions the day on which she has charge. Each girl tries to set the best table with the smallest expenditure and each strives to have a heater looking house than the othei s. Money collected from transient board ers (and these have become numerous lately) goes to swell the student fund of the institute
 There are said to be several budding romances in the institute, which are believed to be directly due to the ln- fiuence of the housekeeping talents of the young women on the young men of the school.

COTTON MARKET CONTINUES QUIET Large Spot Sales Reported in the English
 Markets

New York. June 16.-The cotton mar ket continued quiet today and prices f,ucturated withi ma range of 6 or roints with the closing steady net points lower to 1 point higher.
 Liverpool futures were hardly up to expectations and the local market opened at decline of 1 to points
 under scattering liquidation and little
 focal pressure. The large spot sales To-
 ported in the English market served
 to offset the indifferent showing of con-
 tracts however, while scattering reports
 of too much rainfall or of boil wee vii, damage and expectations of a spotted weekly report at midday created moderate demand, which seemed to come partly from New Orleans sources This soon steadied prices and while the support was by no means active or aggressive. the market worked a point or two above last nights closing fig ures late in the morning.
 The weekly weather report read more favorably than expected. indicat- ling generally satisfactory crop prcg ress during the past week and prices sagged off during the early afternoon with active months selling about 1 | to points net lower Offerings, how ever, remained small and the market | later steaded on renewed covering. | Port receipts for the day were 10, BOA

New York, June 16.-After backing and filling for the greater part of the session, todays stock market turned strong in the final hour. it's rise ooinciding with the declaration of the regular Reading divi- dend and vague rumors of impending de- velopments favorable to the United States Steel corporation. Prior to that period the market had shown no very definite trend, standard stocks moving within comparatively narrow limits. while ma- nipulated specialties repeated their recent sensational gyrations.
 Although foreign exchange was again demoralzed, with new low rates between this center and London and Paris, this feature of the financial situation was less a factor than on the previous day. Early rates on London suggested greater steadi- ness. another consignment of s2.5oO.0oO from Canada contributing to that end.

New Orleans, June 16.-The cotton mar ket was in a deadlock today, growing bullish sentiment being met by much more favorable weekly weather and crop reports than expected. Early in the day there were claim of crop damage through excessive rains and insect attacks, espe- cially by the boil weevil, but after the government reports at Il clock less com- ment of this kind was heard.
 Prices moved within an extremely mar row range, at one time being to points under yesterdays last figures, while at their highest they were about at yester- days closing level. The close was at a net loss of to 8 points.
 The market had a good undertone on improved spot news and somewhat heav- fer trading fin the interior of the belt, but liquidation by longs who were dis appointed at the good showing of the weekly reports held prices down.

ROYAL APPETITES
 DURING THE WAR
From Tt-Rits.

From Tt-Bits.
 "A meal fit for a King" is common expression, but the sad eyes of truth in- form us that kingly fares are often very simple. and that the royal appetite may become faded and cloyed by too much product of French chefs and may long for substantial. plain dishes.
 Simple fare is quite the rule now eoth at Ruckingham palace and at Windsor castle. and this will continue as long as the war is on. Meals in the royal house. hold have never been SO elaborate dur ing the present reign as they were m King Edwards time. King George IS not nearly so much of an epicure as ms ia,her was He has to be exceedingly careiul what he eats. and he avoids rich 1000 both for preference and of necessity, Tor he occasionally suffers from indigestion
 Both the King and Queen prefer boiled fish, and meat cooked quite plainly, With ont an abundance of cunniugly seasoned sauces which delight the heart of a clever French chef. A recent dinner menu at the palace consisted mainly or boiled turbot, dish of outlets, a fr'nt salad and savory. Champagne is rarely drunk except on special occasions, but the label and everything which might sis- nifty the brand Is removed.
 | The Car of Russia Is said to employ | upwards of 1000 people in one way or | another in his kitchens. Though possessed of a good appetite, the Russian sovereign is not fussy over his food, and proVid- ] Ing the dishes are good, will eat most of the things set before him. On the
 other hand, an imperial banquet Is mag
 niflcent affair with regard to food, wines plate and service generally.
 l The German Emperor, likewise, is saic to possess a fine appetite, and even aftei a late dinner will be able to enjoy a plate of cold meat in his private apart
 ments before retiring to rest. The Kaiser | in the public eye, eats far as possible
 on a military plan like his own soldiers
 However during this campaign he is gen orally followed by the latest thing 1T field kitchens, one may imagine h' does not subsist like poor Hans, on breat and sausage for days. When in public the Kaiser may be seen lunching on th' same fare as his men, accompanied b,
