From The London Sphere.
Winchester Cathedral is precious pOsSessiOh.
for &c enShrineS the bones Of Saxon kings.
and its history 20 within a century or two IS
integral part Of the history OF England But
in selecting the valley of the 1JChen as the Sits
for their cathedral the early builders were un-
wise. The Norman cathedral was built upon .
pretty solid foundation. but when eXtenSiOl1
were made toward the east the builders got into
q peaty bog. But II they could not lay blocks
Of stone on peat they could pack beechWOOt

was the foundation Tor their sUperslructurc.
After eight hundred years in a swamp the trees
decayed in places. and drainage OF the locality
did the rest. The marty bed gave way beneath
the pressure Of the building, which sank nearly
two feet In a sort OF curve. throwing the walls
out OF the perpendicular.
Some twelve months ago the whole Os tho
eastern end beyond the Norman tower was IN
daily danger OF sudden collapse. Remedial meas
ureS were TesOrIed to not moment too soon,
and now $4,000 must be buried in the foundR-
tiOns.
The first step was to dig out the foundations
and, curiOusly enough. cherry stones and apple
pIps were unearthed as well as Roman and other
pottery. When the peat was removed the water

THE FLAUBERT MUSEUM.
From The London Academy.

From The London Academy
Visitors to Rouen this summer will perhaps be
tempted 20 make an excursion to the FlaUbert
Museum which has just been opened in Crois-
set some seven miles away. The little house
where Flaubert sometimes stayed has been saved
from demolition by the energy Of friends. The
interior has been fitted up as museum, con-
tanning an old fashioned armchair. the table on
which his masterpieces were written, some quill
pens an inkstand and one of the little pipes
that ne loved to smoke Besides these, a gilded
idol representing Buddha, few letters, and
novel containing notes in Flauberts handwrit-
ing make up all the objects that the museum
nossesses for the moment. II is not very much.
but il is a typical example of the length to
which Frenchmen go in perpetuating the MEM
orv OF their literary heroes. What, we wonder,
would be the fate of a museum Of the relics of
an equally famous English author opened Gsay)
in a village seven miles from York? Would 1t be
visited bY any but Americans?
