The Society Islands and their Orange
Trade.

Since the discovery of gold in California, a
large trade in oranges has sprung up between
that country and the Society Islands, where
this delicious fruit grows in great profusion.-
Most of the oranges come from three islands of
the group-Tahiti (where the French have a
garrson), Huahina and Roetea. About five
million oranges are annually exported. for
which about 81 so per thousand is paid, deliv-
cred on board ship. The trade is in the hands
OF few foreign merchants at Papute, in Ia
hit, who take foreign goods in exchange for
the fruit, which is gathered and brought to
them by the natives. The oranges are passed
down from the trees by youngsters, and gathered
by the woman into baskets made of the leaves
OF the cocoa-nut tree, and taken to the place at
which Ahe vessel Is lying to receive them.-
There they are placed in long thatched house,
and when collected in sufficient numbers are
wrapped in leaves by the women. A smart
