A Momentous Incident In Hietory That Carriee With It an Explanation of Why Vienna Rolla Are Molded In the Form of a Craecent. Do you know why Vienna rolls are shaped like crescents? The story forms one of the great “Ifs” of history. Solyman the Magnificent, sultan of Turkey, planned to overrun Europe, even as he and bis Moslem predeces sors bad seized the countries of the orient. With a mighty army he cap tured the fortified Island of Rhodes and Invaded Hungary, annihilating the Magyar forces at Mobacs (In 1526) and slaying the Hungarian king. So successful was the first expedition that he planned a second und more far reaching raid In 1521). Moving on ward almost unchecked aud currying all before blm. he captured Buda and advanced against the city of Vienna. All Europe stood aghast Nothing had been able to stem the wave of Moslem conquest. Men remembered how one eastern land after another bad been seized by the Mohammedan hordes and forced to adopt Mobam inedanlsm as their religion. ' People trembled for the fate of Christendom It seemed for a moment almost pos sible that the whole eastern section of the European continent might fall vic tim to the Turk and become part of the Moslpm possessions. To hope for clemency from Solyman was to rely upon the mercy of the merciless. Conquering one Christian army and stronghold after another, the sultan’s all powerful army threatened to carry destruction and Mohammed anism throughout the continent It was one of fate’s big movements. On moved the Turks. Vienna (then capital of the German empire) stood In their path, a seemingly frail obsta .tie between such a host and the rest of Europe. Should Vienna fall before the Moslem onset the progress of the sultan’s army would be made far easier and other lesser cities would lose heart. The inhabitants of Vienna were at that time more renowned for culture and thrift than for warfare. Vet un der Ntcbolas von Satm they gallantly proposed to defend their city against the foe and to fight to the last gasp for their Imperiled homes. The Turks drew near, destroying Vienna’s sub urbs, aud encamped close to the town itself. It was on Sept. 27. 1529, that the I enormous Turkish host laid siege to Vienna. Solyman conducting the affair In person. Before risking useless loss of life in a general assault the sultan tried to make an entrance Into the city by means of tunnels. His soldiers were set to work with pick and spade to dig a secret underground way into Vienna by which a body of men might later pour Into the place and thus catch the defenders “between two tires.” Tbe cleverness of tbe Turkish engi neers and the countless workers at their command made the task a swift one. Here it was that au “IP' Inter vened to save the threatened capital and perhaps Europe as well. Some Vienna bakers were at work one night—so tbe story runs—in a cel lar. rnuking bread for the garrison. During a pause in their conversation one of the bakers happened to hear the uiutiied sound of digging. It seemed 10 come rrom a spot not far beyond one or the cellar walls. Uuesslng at moe that the enemy was tunneling a way into the city, tbe bakers rushed out and gave the alarm. The garri <ou, aroused, was able to baffle Soly mun's plan. Tbe sultan, falling at strategy, next iried force. He hnrled his army against me city in one tierce assault after ai.vi. nor. The Viennese fought like heroes. Each attack was repulsed with terrific loss to tbe Turks. For tour entire days tbe Moslems assailed tbe city, fresh detachments ever tak ng the places of those who reeled back defeated. On the fifth day of tbe as sauit, Oct 14, Solyman gave up the attempt to crush Vienna. He with drew sulleDly from the scene or bis do feat leaving 80.000 dead Turks on the held. The price of conquest was for once too high for him. Vienna was saved, and not only VI ennn. but Europe. Vienna bad been Europe's barrier against tbe Turks’ farther advance, and the barrier held firm. Tbe northern limit of Europe’s Turkish raids was reached. Once more, in later years, Vienna was besieged by the Moslems, and she again beat them off. Tbe high tide of such invasion had come and reced ed. Europe at large was now forever secure from this long dreaded foe. In tbe moment of victory, according to the account (he bakers who had given tbe alarm were not forgotten. To commemorate the event they and their descendants thenceforth molded their roils into the shape of s crescent (the sacred emblem of Turkey). The custom prevails to this day. Few Americans who are used to see ing crescent shaped Vienna rolls have any Idea how such rolls first came to be thus twisted nor what great deed the crescent form commemorates.—Chi cago Inter Ocean.

Sermons are not bo lengthy as they used to be, and one seldom sees in the comic prints the joke, so familiar Id other times, wherein tbe minister was chided for his “fourteenthly" remark, which was supposed to mark a period in bis sermon somewhat toward Its close. It is said that Thomas Hooker thought his duty ill performed if his sermoo did not consume three hours. Once it is related that the famous di vine did deliver a really short ser mon-preaching exactly fifteen min utes. He sat down, but after a brief rest was up and at it again for two hours more. Every one of Cranmer’s sermons was a small volume in itself, and Bunyan. Calvin. Baxter and Knox are all said to have been only a little more merciful to their hearers. In striking contrast to these long winded discourses may be mentioned some startlingly brief sermons of late years. I’erbaps the shortest of ail was that delivered by a clergyman at Ocean Grove, N. J., who, after an nounclng his text impressively sur veyed his congregation and then said: “Don’t worry; it’s wicked." He then sat down. It would be difficult to exceed this In brevity and effectiveness, but a north of England vicar in the last cen tury closely approximated it He gave out the text, “God so loved the world," etc., to which he added this observa tion: “My friends, did I speak an hour I couldn't make that message any plainer. I’ll Just leave it with you.” Another example of a brief but ex traordinarily effective sermon was fur nished by an aged and feeble clergy man in Ohio. He had been requested to deliver a charity address on behalf of orphan children, but his strength was unequal to the task. It was there fore an inspiration Indeed that moved him to stretch forth one feeble arm in the direction of the little unfortu nates sitting near the pulpit and to exclaim with no little pathos, “Whence shall we find bread that these may eat?” So impressed was the congregation that the collection was the largest ever taken in that vicinity.—Chicago Rec ord-Herald. A Ghost In the Commons. A certain M. P.. lying ill on the continent a number of years ago, re ceived an urgent "whip" for a critical division In the bouse and replied that he would be present at all cost to bis health or convenience. On the event ful night when the bouse divided the tellers at the division lobby door saw the M. P. in question, and his vote was recorded. The day afterward It was discovered that the number of votes recorded by the division clerks was one short of the number given by the tellers. It was afterward found that at the time the division was taken the M. P. had breathed bis last—London Mail. 8imple Spot Remover.
