"See His Majesty Off"On both inside and outside of the Tien An Gate of Peking, there stand a pair of marble columns, each measuring about 2 feet high and 8 feet round. Having arms on the upper part, they look like huge crosses, and on their tep a strange animal crouches, which is called "Sre His Majesty Of." This name was perhaps given them because they invariably saw the Emperor when he went out of the palace. Against them, the pair which are inside the Gate are called "See His Majesty in."
