THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of It's Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.

Legend Of lis Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient my
tnology IL decorated the foreheads Of
Diana and Of Astarte. the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore Il as an orna-
ment I'm their hair
Since the foundation OF CONSTANT
nople, the ancient Byzantium, 1t has
been the emblem of the city and as
such adorns its walls and public build
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage The legend which
accounts for it's universal adoption In
Turkey, and Constantinople i'm par
ticular, is as follows:
Philip Of Macedon laid siege TO the
city in the year $40 II. c. He chose a
night OF unusual darkness for the pro
posed assault, but was foiled by tho
moon suddenly breaking from behind
a cloud. In commemoration of this
providential deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol of the city.
The Mohammedan sultans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that IL was the symbol Of
Increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases OF the moon.

cal student, he seldom wears straw
hat at all or anything In it's place. Ii
is his pride to go barehcaded, as it Is

up trouser ends. The arts and divinity
men sedately avoid these last three
fashions. London Chronicle.
