One of the queerest incidents that ever
befell Catholic priest in the perform
ance of his duties occurred at the old
cathedral more than week ago and was
witnessed by large crowd who were
viewing the decorations. The baptismal
ceremony was being performed at the
font and the recipients of the sacrament
were a pair of lusty lunged twins. One
of the youngsters had come into the
world weakly and was baptized instant
ly by an attendant.
The priest got wind of the matter, and
when the time came for performing the
ceremony asked the godmother winch
was the regenerated babe Consterna,
ton reigned supreme The twins had
got hopelessly mixed, as usual, and the
similarity of appearance rendered iden
tification impossible. The nurse wa
called in and eyed the babies for birth
marks, but gave it up in despair Ih'
priest ended the dilemma by giving boil
the Youngsters conditional baptism ant
the family went home satished.-St

"a person who makes it a point to

woman to her companion as they sat IN
the street car.
"IndeedY" replied the latter with in

across the aisle. Ordinary people would
see nothing special about her, but / can
tell that she is a convent bred girl.
"How can you tell that
"By the way she holds her feet on the
floor. You notice her left foot is set
souarely down. The right one is at an
angle to the left, and with the heel
placed midway between the left heel and
/ toe. Convent girls are always trained
to sit with their feet that way. Now
I'd be willing to wager my weeks allow

MAKING RAIN.

Mr.. Smith Claims The Credit of Heavy
Falls at Pixley.
o. II. Smith, who represents the Inter
state Artificial Rain Company of Goodland,
Kans., arrived in San Francisco yesterday
morning, and is a guest at the Lick. As
evidence Of the rain-making powers of his
company, he shows by his note book that at
PiXley, where his late operations have been
prosecuted. more than four times as much
rain has fallen this year than for the CORE
spending season last year, or any previous
year, and he claims the credit for It. Rain
making in California, however, he admits,
is not an unqualified success. For rain
making weather the temperature should be
between 40 and so degrees. and it has been
below 40 much Of the time this winter at

DAMAGE BY THE RAIN.
Sewer Overfiows and Causes Damage
on Market Street.

Sewer overflows and Causes Damage
on Market Street.
Although the recent three days rain was
of inestlmable benefit to the State at large.
it also wrought damage in the city in a num-
Der of instances, by reason of the inability
of the sewers to carry off the water as fast
aS it fell.
Tue faulty construction of the sewer
that drains the vicinity of the junction Of
Market Jones and AlcAIlister streets re-
suited in the stoppage that occurs at this
point whenever there is an unusually heavy
rainfall This stopDage is the result of the
two sharp turns that the sewer makes in
passing from McAlliSter street around the
gore out Market and into the Seventh-street
sewer The mud that was washed from ths
street lodged in these turns and caused an
overflow of water into the basement of j. j.
OBrien y Co.'S dry goOds-store, damaging
a large quantity of valuable dry goods. 1t
was learned that the game thing has Oc
Cured in previous years from a similar
cause, but the quantity of goods damaged In
the present instance was unusually large.
owing to the fact that in addition to the heavy
reserve stock always carried, the basement
StOre-roOms contained many cases of spring
goods that not having been opened, rested
on the floor and suffered more or less from
the water that reached them.
