A New Idea.

The Young Mems Institute began since oc- cupation of their new building issuing stock certificates of membership for six years or 8 longer term, which are transferable. The regular price of membership is three dollars per year, but the certificates are sold at the rate of two dollars and half per year. One of these certificates makes an admirable and highly acceptable Christmas present, and their being transferable makes them all the more desirable. Quite number of these certificates have already been issued, some of them for longer term than six years.
