WHO NAMED POINT D'ARCOLE7
Only Legend Relied On to Account
for, AppelIation Given Famous
Bridge in Paris.

Though it is getting on for nearly
a hundred years since the old Pont
de la Greve in Paris has been known
as the Pont d'Arcole, nobody yet has
been able to give chapter and verse
for the change. Now that the ami
versary of the three days of July, 1880.
the 9th, 2Sth, and Goth, which Paris
dubbed Les Trois Glorieuses. has
ceased to be kept, it is likely that this
age of local history will remain OBJ"
scure. In the old days the Pont de
la Greve was merely a footway for
passengers. In the troublous year when
Paris rose, the Tuileries palace was
sacked and the king fed to England,
a young hothead leading column OF
insurgents charged across the tridge
with a flag In his hand shouting
"Follow me! and If fall know that
my name is Arcole''-or Darcole. So
runs the legend. The famous incident
ut the Pont d'Arcole when Bonaparte.
flag in his hand, heading his grena-
diers, beat the Austrians, must have
been some reason for giving the
bridge the name of Pont d'Arcole a
few days later. There is no record
of who gave the order for the change.
No record at all of anything connect
ed with the incident. It Is one of the
minor "mysteres de Paris.

ONCE A TERM OF REPROACH
"Grasa Widow" Used by Teutons to
Indicate an Unmarried Mother
Other Possible Origins.

The term "grass widow very like
~ originated from the wording OF
canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that widow should
remain under Gods protection and
grace" for a full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry II she
pleased. Such women were "widows
Of grace" and in later parish registers
they are described as "grasse wild
owes" In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term "grass widow" was
applied to unmarried mothers, and In
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another exlaana-
ton of it's origin Is found here In the
United States. During the days OF
gold rushes 1t was common for men
to board out their wives until they had
made enough to start home In the
West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
tin: ones widow out to grass"
