In the imperial courtyard in Tokyo

empress of Japan occupies her time
in tending silk worms. This season
she turned out two bushels and half
OF cocoons herself and Princesses
Togo and Kane jointly three bushels.
The princess imperial assisted by her

was first inspired by the empress,
though at present she is so fond of the
business that she has written n poem
