UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, No
vember IA fossiliZed egg, preserved
In Il hard nodule. is the rare curiosity
which the University of California geo.
logical department is now carefully ex
amining with the hope of ultimately ac-
quiring.
The interesting specimen has only one
other rival known on the Pacific coast,
and this is now in the museum of the
California Academy of Sciences in San
Francisco The new fossilized egg is said
to have come from Arizona.
There can be no mistake about the na-
ture of the curiosity, as an expert exam
ination has revealed the fact that the
delicate shell has been perfectly pre-
served, even to the fine pitting of the
outside. The specimen Is about the size
of ordinary hens egg, but a little
longer.

he could not now say what he would do

Indictment for Robbery.-Appeai from
 the Criminal Court of Jefferson.
 1. Robbery; averment of ownership of property; parent and child.-Where a minor child who is 14 years of age, works pay him monthly wages for his services, the payment of such wages by the father to the son is in the nature of a gift, and when the gift becomes executed by the payment of the wages to the son, the money becomes the property of the son: and in an indictment charging the rob- bery of the son, in which the money talk en from him was shown to have been the wages paid him by his father. the own ership of the money so taken is proper ly laid in the son.
 g. Pleading and practice in criminal case; charge of court to Jury.-Under an indictment containing more than one count where there is a variance between the material allegations contained in one of the counts of the indictment, and un- der the evidence adduced on the trial the defendant is entitled to have the jury in- under said count. but where there Is a count in an indictment under which, on the evidence adduced the jury would have a right to convict the defendant, a charge requested by the defendant Is er- roneous and properly refused which in structs the jury that they can not find the defendant guilty under q count as to which there was a variance, specifying it.

Women, Why Suffer? Nervousness and Its Train of Terrible Evils Permanent
 ly Banished By
PAINE'S CELERY
 COMPOUND.
Mrs. Clark Tells of Her Happy Res cue from Suffering after Fail
 tres of Physicians.

Nervous disorders and diseases are on the increase, and women are the chief suf- ferers Digestion gives out, there are pains in the head, the tongue is coated, the muscles ache, there is constipation, heart palpitation, gloomy fears oppress continually, and sleep is broken and dis turbed.
 The only reliable remedy that medical science has given to humanity for the cure of nervousness, Is Paine's Celery Compound, prescribed by eminent physi- clans with the happiest results. In criti- cal cases, Paine's Celery Compound has saved life and restored health when all other medicines failed. Mrs. F. A. Clark of Moscow, Idaho. writes as follows about her success with Paine's Celery Com pound:-
 While suffering terribly from nervous ness and nervous prostration, I was at- tended by several physicians, but their efforts brought no assuring results. finally got so bad that 1t was impossible to sleep at night My husband again wanted me to have a doctor. but I told him 1t was no use. He then went to our druggist who recommended Paine's Gel cry Compound. The first night l used the Compound, I slept well and l continued to improve from day to day. l used in all eight bottles of Paine's Celery Compound and am perfectly cured. l cannot say enough in Its favor"

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science Is to- ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It Is easier and better to pre- vent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia. one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be pre- vented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and 1t has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years and can be re- lied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until 1t is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy as soon as the cold Is contracted. It always cures. For sale by all druggists.

to such plea ignores the averment con- tained therein that the defendant had paid the rent to a third party, and the defendant, without demurring thereto joins issue on said replication, by so do- ing the averment in defendants plea of payment of rent to third party ceases to be an issue in the case; and, there- fore, fin such a case, it is not error for the court to refuse to permit the defen- dant to prove that the rent had been paid to a third party.

Anticipating a defense of payment, complainant averred that the president of the corporation had without authority induced respondent to pay their subscription notes by buying their stock and paying for 1t in assets of the corporation. Subsequently, an amendment was added, alleging that some of the respondents had not paid their subscription notes in cash, but had been illegally allowed credit for certain services, some of which were rendered to other corporations. Held: That the amendment was material, because the re- spondents who were illegally allowed credit would be liable for those credits scriptions for which the other respond ents would be liable, if at all.

 Land.-Appeal from the Circuit Court
 of Monroe.
 1. Attachment in justices court; de- fects in affidavit can not be complained of for the first time in the circuit court. On an appeal to the circuit court in an attachment suit commenced in court of a justice of the peace, advantage can not be taken of the defects in the affida- wit upon which the attachment was sued. which were not objected to before the justice of the peace; since such objec- tions made for the first time In the cir cult court, come too late.
 2. Statute of limitations; when con- tract for the payment of rent not within the statute.-Where after the death of a tenant during the term of his lease. his wife, who remains upon the rented prem ises, agrees, in consideration of her re- taining possession of the land for the balance of the term, to pay the rent which her husband had promised to pay, such agreement on the part of the wife is an original and Independent undertaking by her, and is not within the influence of the statute of limitations.
