A sick-nurse in a Vienna hospital administered by nuns was
observed burning up a bunch of paper money which she had found
in the bed of a deceased patient.
She thought the bank-notes were rubbish, and it took the
authority of the mother superior to convince her that the
rubbish represented a small fortune.
Subsequently it turned out that the sister, who had lived in
the nunnery since her third year, never went outside, and had
nothing to do with the administration or with worldly things
whatsoever, had never heard of the existence or use of money in
any shape or form.--Boston _Post_.
