FOILED THE TURKS
Vienna Bakers Saved Europe
From the Grip of the Moslems.
CAUSE OF SOLYMAN’S DEFEAT.
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.
The moat sublime psalm that can be
heard on this earth 1s the lisping of a
human soul from theUps of childhood.

REMARKABLE SERMONS.
8cme Were Cruelly Long, and Others
Were Models of Brevity.
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.
