Magnificent Houseboat Built for Russian Imperial Family
The most magnificent houseboat ever built was designed as a floating palace by Clyde shipbuilders for the late Czar's private use in the Black Sea. It featured deck gardens, silver fountains, and humming birds, entertaining guests aboard a luxurious vessel. Nearby, crystallized mint leaves debut in Chestnut Street shops as a premium summer confection. In Philadelphia, mint candy and julep treats are praised for their refreshing flavor while mint leaves command fifteen cents each. In Garnett Kansas, Hans Jensen faced a district court magistrate for untrue conditions, with the judge quipping about the “Kassas idea” as Jensen requested more fantasy.
