The formal wording of old public

inquiry whether the point of view has

IMPERIAL TROPHY,
Chinese Emperor's "Black Eagle" Was
Bought for Trine.

Chinese Emperor's ''Black Eagle" Was
Bought for n Trine.
Capt. Potts of the Maxim company
of the Hongkong volunteer corps has
Just secured an extraordinary trophy
of war-nothing less than the Order of
the Black Eagle, set with precious
stones, which the German emperor
sent out by Prince Henry to the En-
peror of China. He has also the auto
graph letter from the kaiser which ac-
companied the decoration. The lucky
captain obtained this remarkable relic
of war in quite haphazard fashion,
says the London Mail. Recently at
Tientsin he came across some Russian
soldiers who had been present at the
looting of Pekin. One of the Russians
had the rarely bestowed order among
his share of the loot, but he was too
ignorant to recognize its great value.
Capt. Potts had no difficulty in arriv-
ing at the correct conclusion when he
set eyes on the insignia and the EN-
peror Williams letter, and for tri-
fling sum he secured possession of the
two. When the captain arrived at
Shanghai and exhibited his prize the
German consul said that he must take
charge Of it, but Capt. Potts declined
to part. He said that he was not at
all anxious to sell and put a fabulous
price on the trophy. The consul i'm
mediately cabled to Berlin for instruc-
lions and Capt Potts is now calmly
awaiting the reply.

Necessity of Denominations.

Denominations of Christians on earth
were necessary in order to better work
and to suit preferences-as an army
must be divided into regiments. yet
one army; as a neighborhood must be
divided into families, though one neigh
borhood. But there is no need for such
divisions in heaven. and therefore all
belong to one denomination Of saint
hood. Christ said in one of his SER
mons that there would be laughter in
heaven. Blessed are We that weep
now, for We shall laugh. And what
could cause more merriment among the
glorifed than a rehearsal of the early
differences between Christians, differ

portance, but differences unknown amid
