ALL NIGHT BAKERIES.
Where New Yorkers Can Have Want*
Supplied at Any Hour.
Among the many places of business
of one and another sort that in a great
city are kept open all night are bak¬
eries.
The bakery Is a peculiarly domes¬
tic business establishment, supplying
mostly home wants, and as most peo¬
ple work days and sleep nights it i
might be supposed that there would \
be no occasion to keep bakeries open :
nights, but here, where with the city's
manifold industries there must be a
large number of people working at all :
times to keep things going, there are j
bakeries that do keep open and find
trade at all hours.
Some lunch of these attachments, all night bakeries where j

work, while others do a bakery bus! j

Too Much of a Tonic.
When Mr. Chiucbiu returned home
from Chinchin & Chinchin's the other
day he found his wife lying worn out
upon the sofa.
"Nothing wrong, 1 hope!" he ex¬
claimed.
"I’m afraid I shall have to stop that
tonic the doctor prescribed for Tom¬
my,” Mrs. Chinchin faintly murmured.
“Why? Isn't he any better?” asked
Chinchin.
“Oh, yes, but I think the tonic must
be too invigorating. V hy, he has slid
down the banisters six times this
moral ng. broken the hall lamp, two
vases, a water jug and a looking glass,
tied a tin can to the cat’s tail and
scribbled his name on’ the drawing
room paper. Of course it’s very grati¬
fying. but 1 don’t feel 1 could stand
much more, so I think I—I’ll stop the
tonic.”,
