A successful test of nickel steel armor 4 plates took place at fndian Head, near Washington. Two plates were tested, one a nineinch plate representing the side armor for ? the monitor Monadnock and a seventeen, inch plate representing the armor to be used for the barbettes on the new battleship Indib ana. The nine-inch plate was flred at with j .in eight-inoh rifle, and while two or tae snots penetrated it, it withstood tho test success> fully and was accepted. In testing the seventeen-inch plate a twelve-inch rifle and Carpenter's projectiles, weighing 850 pounds each, were U3ed. The w plate was placed 320 feet from the muzzle id of the rifle. For the first shot a charge )(j of 300 pouudn of powder was used The projectile penetrated the plat< 16 6-10 inches. The second shot, hurlet with increased volooity, penetrated the plate and three inches ot the heavy oaken backing behind it. The third shot", sent with n still increased velocity, passed clear through it the seventeen inches of armor, thirty-si: ,y inches of heavy oaken timber behind and a bank of earth four feet thick, and was lost. 0 No cracks were developed in the plate, y Even more satisfactory than the snowinc made by the plates whs that made by the projectiles. The eight-inch shells were ol f, the Holzer conical pattern und the twelve 1 inch of the Carpenter conical pattern. All ' Jour of the shells that wore recoveted ap l" peared wholly unchanged to the unprao ticed eye of the layman, and the gaugt . showed that they were disturbed to sucl a small degree that they might again beflrec ? with the attachment ot a new strip of rifling. Some idea of the force with which tho shell* struck the lace of the plates may be gamec if Irom the fact that the energy of the last sao a lired was equivalent to the lorce necessary tc move a mass ol 21,600 tons through one too of space. The cost of the test was 423,01)0 >. ana ialis on the Government.

There was an Italian Bishop, who had truggled through great difficulties without epining, and who met with much opposition a the discharge of his episcopal function, rithout ever betraying the least impatience, in intimate friend of his, who highly admired hese virtues, which he thought it impossible o imitate, one day asked the prelate if he ould communicate the secret of being always iuiet ard happy. ' Yes," replied the old aan, "I can teach you my secret and with Teat facility; It consists in nothing more than n malrincr n. rforht: iiftA r>f mv rtvftft.11 His riend begged him to explain himself. "Moat 1 rillingly. returned the bishop. "In whatver state I am, I first look up to Heaven, and remember that my principal business here 3 to get there. I then look down upon the arth, and call to mind how small a space I hall soon oocupy in it. I then look abroad ato the world, and observe what multitudes here are more unhappy than myself. Thus learn where true happiness is placed, where il our cares must ena, and how very little eason I have to repine or complain." 1 THE DIVIXE PITY. It is over the coflln, or the tomb of the be>ved, that our hearts pour forth the hidden epths of gushing love. So it is over a lost rorld that the heart of God has gone forth, ouring itself out in all its unutterable tenorness of compassion. It is towards his oor wandering prodigal that the father's ieart goes out.?Over him he sighs and weeps, [e sees him without a home, without a friend, elf-exiled from the paternal roof. He thinks f him in poverty, in rags, in filth, in famine, eady to lie down and die. He fancies him linking the cup of the drunken, sitting mong the unclean, joining in the mirth of lie profane, guiltless among the guilty. And s he broods over these things, his whole eart is turned within him. He almost forets the happy circle round him in the intenIty of bis yearnings over bis outcast boy. o it is with Ood in his compassion for this elf-banished world, The outgoings of his eart towards it are infinitely beyond that of father's affection, or a mother's deepest tenerness.

And it came to pass that wliiln Apolloj was at Corinth Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus." From Corinth, where we left Paul in the last lesson, he returned to Antioch in Syria, taking with him Priscilla and Aquila as far as Ephesus, where he left them, promising to return, the Lord willing (18-21). After some tlm< at Antioch he started on his third tour, anci passing through Oalatia and > Phrygia strengthening the disciples, came in due time to Ephesus. This Apollos of Alexandria, eloquent and mighty in Scripture, ha?j meantime paseoa uirougu x,pueous suu uau been greatly helped and enlightened bj Aquila and Priscllla. How wonderfully thf Lord provides teachers tor those who an seeking to know Him! Consider the cases of Cornelius and the man of Ethiopia. 2. ''And finding certain disciples he said unto them, Have ye received the Hoh Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto Him, We have not so much as heart whether there be any Holy Ghost:" There are many like these to-day who have heard of the love of God and of Jesus as a Savioi from the wrath to come, and they have received Him and are ohildren of God (John i. 12), and therefore have the Holy Ghost in them as believers (I Cor. vi, 19: xiL, 7), bui yet know little or nothing about the Holj Spirit and never have received Him as theh power for life and service. Compare Joht xlv., 17, with Luke xxiv., 49. 3. "And He said unto them. Unto what then, were ye baptized? And they said Unto John's baptism." This was as far a< Apollos had taught them (18-25) and woul< include repentance, remission of sins anc fruits meet for repentance and should hav< included an expectation of a baptism of thi Holy Ghost (Luke iii., 3, 8, 16). It certainlj meant salvation, but not necessarily specia puwor lur oorviuc. 4. "Then, said Paul, John verily baptize< with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on Hin which should come after Him?that is. 01 Christ Jesus." It was John's delight to cry "Behold the Lamb of God!" and to point al to Him whose way he came to prepare (Johi i., 15. 27. 29. 3J, ilL, 28-30; Math, ill., 11. People are apt to follow the human leader as did the Corinthians (1 Cor. iii., 4.) and to< often the human leader loves to have it so But such is not the spirit of Christ, for evei He did not His own will nor sought His owi glory, but ever sought the glory of the Fathe (John vL, 28; viii., 29, 50 ; xviL. 4.) 5. "When they heard this, they were bap [ tized in the name of the Lord Jesus." The; had received the truth which they had heari and were living up to the light which the; had received, and therefore were ready foi more light. Now, when additional truth 1 brought to them they readily receive it an< ' turn heartily to Him of whom John was thi forerunner, 6. "And when Paul had laid his hands up on them the Holy Ghost came on them, ant they spake with tongues and prophesied.1 Being baptized in the name of' the Lore Jesus did not necessarily bring the gift o the Holy Spirit (Acts viii., 16).

It is the heavenly anc earthly perfeet'numbers 3 and 4 multiplied The full significance we will see some day. 8. "And Ho went into the synagogue am spake boldly for the spaoe of three, months disputing and persuading the things con cerning the kingdom of God." He made nc apologies for the truth, but believing al things written by Moses he spake boldly ii the power of the Spirit (Acts xxiv., 14; iv. 29). Disputing means reasoning out of th< Scriptures, as in chapter rvii., 2, while per auading Indicates tender and loving entreaty Thus he patiently and prayerfully opened tc them the wohi of God concerning Jesus at the Christ. 9. "But when divers were hardened and believed not, but spake evil of that way bo fore the multitude, he departed trom them and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of oneTyrannus." When trutt is rejected, the heart becomes hardened, anc when once the heart is turned away from the only Ugnt in inis aarit worm mo uuijr piua pact Is the outer darkness where light nevei comes. Yet Jesus has taught us that only ; portion of the seed will (all on good ground, and that tares will grow among the wheal uatil the harvest. 10. "And this continued by the space o two years, so that all they which dwelt ii Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, bott jfews and Greeks." The province of Asia, ii whioh were the seven churches of Revelation is distinguished from the other provinces o Asia Minor in chapter xvi., 6. In this sectior of the country he testifies that for three years he ceased aot to warn every one night anci day with tears, teaching publicly and fron house to house, keeping back nothing, anc all the while with his own hands ministering to the necessities of himself and those who were with him (chapter xx., 31, 20, 34). Th/n earning his own living he would have no occasion to fear losing a portion of his salarj if the truth he preached should.- happen tc hit some of his hearers rather severely. 11. "And God wrought special miracle^ bj the hands of Paul." Whether It be a mir aole of healing of the soul or of the body 'it is God who worketh" (Phil, it, 13). Whether it be wisdom or knowledge or faith or gifts of healing or miracles, it is all th< work of the one self same 8pirit dividing tc every man severally as He will (I Cor. xii. 7-11).

Bites optf Sting*. The stings of insects are not usually serious, yet there have been cases where severe cases of poisoning ensued even from mosquito bite3. They are painful enough, however, and a knowledge of simple and readIIj available remedies Is very desirable. In all cases, whether of mosquito bites or the stings of bees or hornets, an immediate application of cologne water, ammonia or camphor will give immediate relief, unless the sting remains in the skin. In such a case, the sting should be pulled out witli delicate forceps, or it can be removed, though somewhat clumsily, by the pressure of the two thumb nails on opposite sides of it. Tbu presence of a bee's or a wasp's stiog in the wound is not dangerous, as had teen popularly supposed. It will, however, greatly aggavate the soreness, and it generates offensive matter, which is especially disagreeable.
