[FATHER
AND
MOTHER
ARE
KIND,
BUT
GOD
IS
KINDER.]
2541.
Casting
Second
Half
of
Mould.
Into
the
small
pudding
basin
from
which
the
sand
has
been
emptied,
place
with
the
egg
upper-most
the
half
mould,
which,
if
the
operation
has
been
managed
properly,
should
fit
close
at
the
edges
to
the
side
of
the
vessel;
then
prepare
some
more
liquid
plaster
as
before,
and
pour
it
upon
the
egg
and
mould,
and
while
it
is
hardening,
round
it
with
the
spoon
as
with
the
first
half.
2542.
Completion
of
Mould.
In
due
time
remove
the
whole
from
the
basin;
the
halves
will
be
found
readily
separable,
and
the
egg
being
removed,
the
mould
is
ready
to
cast
in,
after
it
has
been
set
aside
for
an
hour
or
two,
so
as
to
completely
harden.
This
is
the
simplest
form
of
mould,
and
all
are
made
upon
the
same
principle.
2543.
Casting
Egg
in
Wax.
The
casting
of
an
egg
is
not
merely
interesting
as
the
first
step
in
a
series
of
lessons,
but
as
supplying
a
means
of
imitating
peculiarly
charming
objects,
which
the
student
of
natural
history
tries
almost
in
vain
to
preserve.
We
shall
proceed,
then,
with
the
directions
for
the
casting
of
an
egg
in
the
mould.
2544.
Materials
required.
For
the
first
experiments,
common
yellow
wax
may
be
used
as
the
material,
or
the
ends
of
half-burnt
wax
candles.
The
materials
of
the
hard
(not
tallow)
composition
mould
candles
will
also
answer.
