DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words Possession" and "obsession"
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obsess are etymologic
ally related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin, and the second syl.
liable of both, sess, is from sedere, to
Sit; therefore a session is a sitting;
but possession is to sit before or near
thing as owning 1t, and obsession is
to be sat upon by 1t. This is not very
illuminatiye, but 1t serves to mark
different shades of meaning. Yet the
two words are so nearly synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of a human body by
an evil spirit, though possession means
operating from within and obession
from without. The Bible speaks of
those who we're possessed with devils,
and the Oxford dictionary gives one
of the definitions Of obsession as tho
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit besetting anyone; actuation by
the devil or an evil spirit from with
out" But while the authorities recog-
nize a technical difference between
possession and obsession as relating
to the devils operations from within
or from the outside, they do not diff
ferentiate the moral results of the
cases. Etymologically speaking, there
is shade of difference between the
two words, but the genealogical diff
ference is only skin deep, while, NOR
ally speaking there is little or no diff
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside. In quoting some ex-
amples Of the use of obsession as re-
lating to evil spirits, the Oxford die
tionary remarks that, These cases
belong rather to obsession than pos
session, the spirits not actually inhab-
iting the bodies, but hanging or how
ering about them" Leaving the devil
out of the case entirely and coming to
ordinary affairs 1t may be said that
while obsess and possess are different
In some meanings they are synony-
nous in others.

THOUGHT SHE KNEW COFFEE
Young Lady, Testing Beverage Made
of Refuse, Declared It Unmistak-
ably the Right Thing.

A great many people who fatter
themselves that they are judges Of
coffee or other beverages may learn
a lesson of caution from the expert
ments carried on by Sir Hiram Maxim
when he was trying to find pala-
table preparation of wheat and coffee.
It occurred to me, says Sir Hiram in
"My Life" that very few people knew
much about coffee. One Sunday I
brought out from the Maxim Lamp
works about thirty young men and
women. My stenographer was also
present; she was one Of those young
ladies that know all-from whose de-
cisions there is no appeal.
l had cleared off a long bench and
arranged on 1t large number Of cups,
milk, sugar, cream, much coffee, and
plenty Of apparatus for making coffee.
l got from the army and navy stores
various kinds of coffee that were sup
posed to be the very best in the world.
such as Mocha, Java, and SO forth, and
l also got from dealer in coffee some
Of the sweepings and siftings Of his
shop-small, imperfect, and broken
kernels. These freed from dust and
dirt, roasted and ground, and mixed
with three times their weight Of chic.

My shorthand writer came in, tasted
the Mocha, the Java, the Costa Rica
and pronounced them all very bad
She then tried some Of my wheat cot
fee, which she said, was also bad
but not so bad as the others. But when
she reached the mixture Of siftings
and chicory she was delighted. "Tha'
is coffee!" she said, with an air Of
fnality. That's it! That's the right
stuff"
