A sERVIAN PIG TRUST.
1t Had Very Large Designs, but Is Forced to
Go Into Bankruptcy.

tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The Setvian Curing
Company, with big capital, for the purpose
OF supplying Europe with pig products, has
come to an untimely end, and the stock
holders are talking of prosecuting the pro-
moters. The Servian was to have re-
placed the American hog, and there was
to have been no room for Chicago in this
hemisphere. But the company failed to
fulfill the terms of its Government conces-
sion, which was consequently cancelled, and
the concern is now in the Bankruptcy
Court.
The stockholders are now endeavoring to
find out what has become of their money,
which has disappeared in an unaccountable
manner.

The Late Mrs. Booth.

M. W. r. Stead, in the course of a
memoir of the late Mrs. Booth. writes:
THAT the Salvation Army is entering
upon a new development is probably
due more to her than to any single hu-
man being, and in its new social bear
ing we see the best and most enduring
monuments to the memory OF the saint
ly woman who has at last been released
from her sufferings. But that may
also be said to be true of the Salvation
Army itself. The Army could no
more have come into existence with
out Mrs. Booth than could the family
of sons and daughters who are now
carving on the Salvation work all
over the world. No one outside can
ever know how much all that is most
distinctive of the Army is due directly
to the shaping and inspiring impulse
of Mrs. Booth; but even outsiders like
myself can see that but for her it
would either have been a failure or
else it would have been merely one OF
the many small but narrow sects which
carry on q mission work in hooks and
corners of the land. 1t was Mrs.
Booth who made the Army the great
instrument it has been of revealing to
the world the capacities and resources
| of her own sex, and it was Mrs. Booth
who made the warmth of her love an
other restraint of her prudence, and
supplemented and implemented the
genius of her husband ip such way
as to enable him with her to do a
work for which there is no parallel in
our times"

The Dykes of Holland.

A certain Jealous dame is said to
have once attempted to sweep the
ocean away with broom. The Dutch
have been wiser than this. They are
slow and deliberate people. Despera-
ton may use brooms, but deliberation
prefers clay and solid masonry. So,
slowly and deliberately, the dykes,
those great hall-like walls of cement
and stone, have risen to breast the buff
eting waves. And the funny part of it
is, they are so skillfully slanted and
paved on the outside with flat stones
that the efforts of the humping waves
to beat them down only make them all
the firmer!
These Holland dykes are among the
wonders of the world. I cannot say
fot how many miles they stretch along
the coast, and throughout the interior;
but you may be sure that wherever
dyke is necessary to keep back the en-
croaching waters, there it is. Other
wise, nothing would be there-at least,
nothing in the form of land; nothing
but fearful illustration of the princi-
pal of hydrostatics: Water always
seeks its level.
Sometimes the dykes, however care
fully built, will ''spring a-leak," and if
not attended to at once, terrible re-
suits are sure to follow. In threaten
ed places guards are stationed at in
tervals, and steady watch is kept up
night and day. At the first signal of
danger, every Dutchman within hear
ing of the startling bells is ready to
rush to the rescue. When the weak
spot is discovered, what do you think
is used to meet the emergency? What,
but tstraw-everywhere else considered
the most helpless of all things in wa
teri Yet straw, in the hands of the
Dutch, has will of its own. Woven
into huge mats and securely pressed
| against the embankment, it defies even
a rushing tide, eager to sweep over the
| country.
These dykes form almost the only
perfectly dry land to be seen from the
ocean side. They are high and wide,
with fine carriage-roads on top, some
times lined with buildings and trees.
Lying on one side of them, and nearly
on level with the edge, is the sea- lake,
canal, or river, as the case may be; on
| the other side, the fiat fields stretch
ing damply along at their base, so that
cottage roofs sometimes are lower than
the shining line of the water. Frogs
squatting on the shore can take quite
a bird's-eye view of the Landscapes; and
little fish wriggle their tails higher
than the tops of the willows nearby.
Horses look complacently down upon
the bell-towers, and men in skiffs and
canal boats sometimes know when
they are passing their friend Dirk s
cottage only by seeing the smoke fr ON
the chimney; or perhaps by the cart
wheel that he has perched upon the
peak of its overhanging thatched root, in
the hope that some stork will build her
nest there, and so bring good luck
