A Dexter hen owner is trying to keep the wolf from the door by selling eggs for flve ceDts a piece. A man had a dollar in his pocket to invest, but he couldn't pullet out at those figures, not even for Plyruouth Koek prodnets. One of the Ypsilanti newspapers which bas oonseientious soruples against novéis and continued stories on the ground of public moráis, has overeóme its objections to a limited extent and is at present publishing a line of Postum seriáis. Seven dogs have been missing in Dester lately, and reoent investigation of the mili pond disolosed several oarcasses. The Leader thiuks they were poisoned, bnt we doubt it. None of them were notioed by the supervisor last year, and they probably went fishing, or else feeling that they were ignored and unnoticed, committed their bark to the waters of the dam and sailed away for the golden shore, heartbroken over the neglect that deolined to even note their existence. Blame the supervisor for the trouble. The our few bell should ring in Dexter. The Castalian is a pnblication by some of the classes of the univeisity. It is a book of more or less merit, sometimes one and oftener the other. Merchants are held up by the gills for ads, and do not dare to réfuse, for fear they will not get student trade. They have high grade, first class printing offices in Ann Arbor, capable of doing any kind of good work, but the students regard it as evideuee of style, to take the printing to Chicago. Well, the papers there hardly dare kick. Yet it has oceurred to us all along that the tuition for foreign students should be doubled by the legislature. We presume the Oscar Wilde sentiment that sends the work to Chicago, is pre-eminently in favor of McKinley, protection, and prosperity. Of course, the home industries are to be encouraged. We advise the Register and Courier to investígate, and ascertain if the young budding brains that are developing into literary protuberances, are not affected with the theory of protection to home industries.
