The Bible in Russia.

The holy synod at Petrograd has
been busily engaged in the work Of
producing popular editions of the
Bible. These are being widely dis
tributed by the Orthodox church
among soldiers on the battle field as
well as to the sick and wounded
Various Russian Red Cross aid asso-

as the available stock of the British
and Foreign Bible society has be-
came exhausted, the holy synod is
undertaking the work of printing
fresh editions. Should this wave of
enthusiasm for the propagation of
the Holy Scriptures prove more than
a passing phase we may look for
ward to a revival of intelligent re-
ligious instruction in Russia.

TAKING M FROM DAMN
DOES NOT TAKE THE CURSE OFF
BY ANY MEANS.
When One Doesn't Care a. Well,
Even thinkers Dam" is Bad
Language to Say the
Best About 1t.

A contributor to the Sun grieves
over the ignorance of those who as
sumo that "tinker's dam" is pro
fame expression" A tinker's dam,
says he, was a chunk of dough or bat
ter used before the days of muriatlc
acid to keep the solder from spread
ing: and as the solder commonly did
spread nevertheless, the tinker's dam
was as nearly worthless as the COM
mon expression of disesteem for 1t
implies. He differentiates it from the
common or garden damn and says:
There is no profanity about it
But not to care a tinkers dam is
Just as profane as not to care maver-
lex damn, unbranded with ownership
by tinkers or others, Taking the N
out Of damn does not take the curse
off 1t it is profane not to care
damn, it is just as profane not to care
a whiffer, jabberwock, COOP, or any
other illegitimate and unsanctloned
word When one stentoriously enun-
ciates his refusal to appraise the ar
ticle under discussion at the value OF
a damn, he is not swearing or ours
ing; he is literally using bad language,
for, in the sense he means, there is
no such noun as damn. We know
what a tinker's dam is, but what is
damn? When one says he does not
care whoop, he is far more definite,
for there is such a thing as whoop.
Whence arose the idea that net caring
damn was being profane, and why
do persons who do not care one plume
themselves on their devilishness?
1t is not profane, but it has the
sound of being profane, and that is all
that is needed. An individual who
would not for the world have used
blasphemous language used to relieve
his feelings by pronouncipg the name
of one of Wagner's operas in a tone
that caused neighboring windows to
fall in, and "Gotterdammerung"g gave
him as much satisfaction as if he had
violated commandment. And who
was the man who always swore by
Charles G. D. Roberts and Josephine
Dodge Daskam because they sounded
so profane? There is an excellent
Methodist in this town who severely
reprehends profanity whenever he
hears it, but who produces all the ef-
feet of shocking blasphemy by the i'm
bittered emphasis he lays on the ex-
clamation, For governments sake!"
Colonel Roosevelt plumes himself on
his abstinence from profanity, but
none of the unregenerate ever got
such satisfaction out of real cuss
word as he does out of by Godfrey!"
No, tinker's dam belongs in the COM
fort-giving galaxy of profane refugees
for the emotions; and that is the
worst you can say of the other damn.

No Carolyn reflected grimly.
I'VE ought to make it just little hard

My dear Miss Gale, l don't know.

they seem perfectly human and ra-

Rosamund's suavity was perfect as

A porch lamp Of new type, just
