The stock of Bank of England notes which are paid in five years fills 18,400 boxes, which, if placed side by side, would ( Woman assures us) reach over two miles. If the notes themselves were placed in a pile, they would reach to a height of five miles ; or, if joined end to end, would form a ribbon 12,000 long ; or if spread out, would nearly cover Hyde Park. They weigh ninety tons, and represent 1,750 millions sterling.
"A DRINK FOR THE GODS," so saitb (he great Prophet— Mohomet, when taking his cap of coffee under the fig trees. If you would enjoy such, drink Grease's Al Coffee. Sold only in 1 and 3lb tins.
