NICARAGUA,
N-Political E1les.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

In Nicaragua, as well as in all other
parts of Central America, any revolution,
whether failure or success, produces
crop Of political exiles who are ordered
to leave the country. This Punishment
is not SO much in the way Of punishment
as 1t is to prevent the recurrence of
trouble. Usually the exiles OF the other
Central American republics go to Costa
RIGA or Guatemala. for the capitals of
these countries are places where the
exile can find surcease of sorrow in the
endless round of pleasure for which the
two cities are famous.
After the success OF the late Estrada
revolution in Nicaragua. more than the
usual number OF exiles were banished by
the triumphant revolutionists. In fact,
practically the whole cabinet of Zelaya
was ordered to take the first steamer out
of Corinto. The exiles had little time to
compose their personal affairs. and many
of them lost heavily by reason Of the
body to Costa Rica, where they stayed
for several months. At the beginning
of the present year President Estrada.
at the suggestion Of the United States,
issued an amnesty decree. by which all
political offenders were permitted to re-
turn to their native country. AS they
all left in a body. so they returned to-
gether. They embarked on a Pacific mail
steamer at Punta Arenas. which called
at San del Sur en- route to Corinto. At
this place an incident occurred which
gave them the greatest apprehension as
TO their prospective treatment when land
ing at Corinto. Some OF them had friends
In San Juan and sought to go ashore
But while going out to the pier in small
boats they were accoSted and forbidden
to land. even for the purpose of going TO
the cable Office.

rarely heard English spoken and more

The State Department in Washington
maintains system of espionage over the
political exiles of the various Central
American countries. 1t is but natural
that. banished from their homes, often
without even the color of justice, these
exiles should seek to foment trouble
against their own government. Many of
them make their headquarters in New
Orleans, and 1t is asserted by those in a
position to know that no revolution in
Central America in recent times has oc-
Cured which was not mapped out in the
Crescent city. A number of revolutionary
juntas are always in existence there, and
SO expert are their members in lodging
the neutrality laws that they seldom run
afoul Of Uncle Sans officials. Nearly all
of the funds for the conduct of revolu-
lions are started In that city. Although

1t was less than a single month from
the date Of his arrival in Managua that
DR.. Espinosa found himself in prison and
about to be deported again. This was
brought about by the explosion in the ar
senai. which, as previously explained,
was charged to the liberals in general,
and to DR.. Espinosa in particular. 1t

Espinosa presidential boom was creating
considerable apprehension on the part of

He first went to Mexico City and from
there to San Salvador. 1t has been ru-
mored that he has been preparing to aid
a revolution from that point. Being
man of great popularity throughout Cen
trail America. it is probable that he would
be wanting neither in funds nor in men TO
renew hostilities in Nicaragua. II the
conservatives should split among them
selves and Estrada and Espinosa should
again become political allies 1t Is not
improbable that they could completely
overturn the present government. 1ndi-
cations are not wanting that such an alli-
ance may be made. and that it may have
the support Of Zelaya himself. That gen.
tleman is said to realize that his day in
Nicaragua is past. but is possessed Of
deep-seated grudge which cries out SO
loudly for revenge that he is willing to
spend a goodly portion Of his wealth in
that cause.

HAND AND BRAIN.
They Are Intimately Connected In ths
Matter Of Speech.


Psychologists today hold the
opinion that the human brain is
taught through the use of the hand,
In other words, it is through the
development of manual dexterity
that the faculty of word making
upon which all else depends-is
gained. The choice made in child
hood between right hand and left
hand determines which of the two
cerebral hemispheres, the left or
the right, shall be educated.
If the right hand be preferred, as
is usually the case, the left brain,
which controls that member, will
acquire the word making power and
all the associated faculties that go
to make up what we call intellect,
but if the left hand be chosen the
right brain will enjoy these advan-
tages exclusively.
DIR. w. I'll. Thomson in his book
on ''Brain and Personality" says
that if the speech center in the left
brain of a right handed man be de-
stroyed or seriously injured he will
never thereafter be able to utter a
word, Notwithstanding the fact that
he has another speech center, still
intact and structurally perfect, in
his right brain. 1t exists, but he
cannot make it talk.
Either brain is equally good for
speech if trained for that purpose.
1t is the child's choice of the hand
that decides. which cerebral hemi-
sphere in after life shall know
speech and which shall be wordless
forever.
In discussing the connection be-
tween speech and the hand it is in
teresting to observe that in the
brain the "motor areas" governing
the hands are close by the area that
controls the tongue and the muscles
of articulation. Here, apparently
in small patch of gray matter no
larger than a hazelnut, is stored
every word that can be spoken. Let
it be badly injured and speechless-
ness results.
In many instances persons have
been struck with word blindness
that is to say, though still able to
see, to speak and to understand
what was said to them, they could
not find any meaning in the words
on printed page. Equally inter-
esting are cases of word deafness,
where people cannot understand
what is said, though they are able
to read and write as well as ever

One of Barnard's S Early Set
tiers.

Recently Adelbert Goss, the care
taker Of the Barnard cemetery, reset
the tombstone of Asa Whitcomb, an
early settler of Barnard. 1t was
done upon vote of family meeting
OF descendants of this patriot, often
spoken OF as the father OF Barnard.
The stone, one of the slate variety,
was in good condition, but the action
of frosts through many winters had
made resetting desirable. 1t was
done i'll cement, and will now be
durable for another century. Asa
Whitcomb died one hundred years
ago next March, which event may
be celebrated by the descendants,
and a full account Of his career as
"Green Mountain Boy" be pub
lished in a book or pamphlet form.
The following is the inscription
upon the tombstone: stErected in
Memory of Asa Whitcomb, Esq,
who ended his career of usefulness
March 81, A. D. 1872, in the 18th
year Of his age. He was one Of the
trainers of the constitution of this
state, one of the first settlers Of this
town and main pillar of its infant
settlement, and during the struggle
of Independence was firm sup
porter OF the cause of his country"
A stone near at hand has the
following:
" Here lies my wife,

And children that I'll ns ME
And if their gone to distant worlds
My love to them the same.
