One estate owns 4 per cent of all Chicago land. Each year sees additions to the holdings of these estates. During 191 more than $1,000, 000 worth of land, the best land for commercial purposes, was ad ded to them. Between these 10 families moat good property is monopolized. The 10 families themselves are scattered all over the world. Few members of them personally count for anything in Chicago. They are able, because Chicago is a profitable and prosperous enterprise, to build palaces a broad. They can buy peerages if they like. They can live in California or Florida, or England or Italy. They can forget all about Chicago. From the Chica go Tribune. ' Notice U Shareholder!.

Ttbea Winter Begins. There are still living and mov ing about without help and doing their work in the world with a reasonable decree of efficiency, persons who learn in childhood that the three winter months were December, January and February, tne tnree spring months, March, April and May, the three summer months, June, July and August, and the three autumn months, September, Oc tober and November. ; But within recent years and with a great affectation of scien tific accuracy, it is becoming customary to date the season from the solstices and equinoxes. We are told with great assurance of precision that winter begins on December 21 or 22, and the next change of season on the same day in March and so on with June and September. There are no just.ficatioj for this. The seasons are not astro nomical events, and they do not necessarily date from astronom ical tvects. They are quarters of the year characterized by the growing maturity, decadence ani decease of vegetation. The old classification of mr.mhswas es sentially sound, and winter may be sp.id properly to come in with the hrt of December rather than with the 21st, because by thaend of November about everything in the vegetable world that can fall has fallen, and the growing cold aad the approach to the shortest day and the longest night are evi dence that the season of winter his begun. The signs of spring are usually abundant before on March 21, eveu though blizzird and other weather freaks occur in that month. The month of roses is certainly a summer month by all the tests of ordinary human experience in distinction from results figured out by an astronomer with tables of ascen sions and declinations and loga rithm. Win will pretend that this month was the season of autumn until the shortest day was reach ed? It was unquestionably win ter, from very nearly the first of the month, and September is properly classed as a fall month It is too inconvenient to make the lines that separate the sea sons divided the months, and the old fashioned classification of the 12 months into four seasons wai not only more convenient, but more accurate, and in closer ac cord with the vitality of the vege table world and the sensations of human beings than this new fan gled and pedantic effort to date the seasons from the equinoxes and the solstices.
