1t Is said that when the first Chinese

In America icehouses have been
known for at least 200 years. They
were first very primitive affairs, being
nothing more than deep cellars, the
flooring made OF boards or stone, upon
which was placed layer of straw or
sawdust. The sides were lined with
boards set about foot from the wall,
and this space was filed In with saw
dust. tan bark or straw. A rough,
matched roof completed the structure,
which was then filled with Ice, be-
tween the layers OF which tan bark or

HOW BRITISH TREAT Beers
Given Good Care and Medical Treatment in
The Concentration Camps,
Much Public Apathy In England Re
speeding the South African
war.

New York, June 27.--Public apathy
in England respecting the South African
war Is illustrated, says the Tribune's
London correspondent, by the indiffer-
ence with which Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman's parallel between the
clearing operations in South Africa by
British troops and those In Cuba by
the Spanish generals Is regarded. No
body finds II necessary TO point out
that whereas the Cubans were driven
out from their homes into encamp-
meents, where they starved and per-
ished from pestilence, the Beers have
been sheltered and fed in laagers UNI
der the protection Of British garrisons.
Lord Miner says that these Beers ref
uges have received medical attendance
when they required 1t, regular rations
have been served out to them and in
many instances their children have
been sent regularly to school. There
have been some exceptional instances,
but the processes by which districts have
been cleared have been essentially dif-
ferent from those employed by the
Spanish generals in extrpating the
Cuban population. Considerable prog
ress has been made toward paciiication
Of the Dutch colonies; many mines
about Johannesburg are in operation
and the formers around leading rail-
road towns are assuming their usual
occupations and sending supplies into
the market
Lord Miner has improved in health
since his return to England In spite Of
the constant pressure Of business with
the colonial office and unceasing social
invitations. He takes broad view OF
the situation in South Africa, and is
hopeful that the end Of the war Will
soon be reached and reconstruction
measures adopted.
